Continuing our series of interviews with key cast and crew members from the upcoming new James Bond film Casino Royale, we’ve got the Q&A session with the beautiful french actress Eva Green today. Green made her theatrical film debut (following drama school in Paris) in Bernardo Bertolucci’s The Dreamers, before she won the part of Sibylla in Ridley Scott’s epic Kingdom of Heaven, starring opposite Orlando Bloom. She has also been cast in His Dark Materials: The Golden Compass, playing Serafina Pekkala, the witch.

In Casino Royale, Green plays Vesper Lynd, the woman who captures James Bond’s heart. Lynd is an accountant working for the treasury who is sent to keep a close watch on the government money that Bond – played by Daniel Craig – is using in a high stakes poker game. Green was recruited to join the Casino Royale production relatively late, joining director Martin Campbell and his cast and crew as they were just about to start filming in The Bahamas in February.

The new trailer for Spiderman 3 will be shown in theaters in front of Casino Royale when the new Bond film premieres November 17. However, Superherohype.com has now received reports from American readers that MTV will run the clip this Thursday, November 9, during an intermission in the program Real World/Road Rules Challenge: The Duel, which airs between 10 and 10.30pm.

There has been no confirmation whether or not the trailer will also appear online on Thursday, it’s possible that non-US folk will have to wait until November 17, when a high-definition version of the video is sure to be published via Sony’s official Spiderman 3 website.

Darren Aronofsky, director of Pi and Requiem for a Dream, was in Atlanta to promote his new film The Fountain (which will finally get its wide release this month), where he spoke with CHUD about what’s next in store for him. He revealed that the rights to Lone Wolf and Cub, the studio film he was planning on doing next, were never picked up by Paramount, but that the new film he’s working on is even more exciting - a biblical epic:

“It’s something I’ve wanted to do for a long time. Before Pi. Probably ten years ago, I had an idea. Actually, I wrote a poem about it when I was in 7th grade. I won this award for it — my first writing award. So it’s a story from the Bible that kind of stuck with me. About ten years ago I was at a museum that featured an exhibit that reminded me of it. So we’ve been trying to crack it for a while, and we finally figured out a direction. But…I can’t tell you any more.”

CHUD promises to have the full Q&A with the director posted soon.

Rumours of Quentin Tarantino directing a possible follow-up to his cult hit Pulp Fiction have been stirred up over and over again. Such a sequel were to focus on the characters Vic and Vincent Vega - played by John Travolta and Michael Madsen - and would carry the title The Vega Brothers. Tarantino’s last stance towards this project was that it isn’t happening.

But now CHUD has caught up with Madsen to discuss the upcoming 15th Anniversary Edition of Reservoir Doigs, and when talk shifted to upcoming projects the actor admitted that he’d not only like to do The Vega Brothers, but that Tarantino has in fact come up with a story concept.
