The story is everywhere just now, and I was trying to avoid it, but I read it over at USA Today and it actually sounded quite interesting, here’s some of the key points from Martin Campbell:
Bond is teamed with female agent Vesper Lynd, who later helps him recover after he is brutally tortured.
“She’s the one who forges him into the Bond that we all know and love,” Campbell says. “He certainly falls in love with her, and it does change him forever. It’s a genuinely deeper relationship. The film deals much more on a personal level with Bond.”…
…The reason the hero treats subsequent love interests as one-night stands also will be revealed.
“He talks about how it’s too boring to have a relationship,” Campbell says. “You meet, and it’s all exciting, then it starts to fade, and you go through the uncomfortable part of having to get rid of the girl, etc. It’s a very interesting observation, given his sort of misogynistic views.”
The film also will feature a lot of “embryonic stuff” about why Bond prefers his martini “shaken, not stirred,” and why he favors the Aston Martin sports car.
I’m quite interested in this, from the point of view to see where this character came from and how he was formed…that’s it though. Is that enough to be interested in a movie?
