James Bond’s latest and first adventure comes to cinemas today, and we’ve got an interview for you with Casino Royale’s new Bond himself, Daniel Craig, who does the toughest and most physical Bond yet. This interview is the last in our series of Q&As with the main cast and crew of Casino Royale. You can read the previews ones by clicking on the respective names: Chris Corbould (Special Effects Supervisor), Eva Green (Vesper Lynd), Dame Judi Dench (M) and Gary Powell (Stunt Coordinator), Mads Mikkelsen (Le Chiffre) and Martin Campbell (Director).

Daniel Craig started his acting career in the highly acclaimed BBC drama Our Friends In The North, regarded as one of the best television dramas of recent times. Turning down offers for further TV drama, Craig opted to work in small independent movies instead. He was then cast to play the psychotic son of Paul Newman’s character in The Road To Perdition and has since also starred in the hit British gangster movie Layer Cake and in Steven Spielberg’s Munich, and will next be seen twice alongside Nicole Kidman, in Oliver Hierschbiegel’s The Visiting and the fantastical epic His Dark Materials: The Golden Compass.

Strike Entertainment and Universal Pictures are planning to remake John Carpenters classic sci-fi movie The Thing, reports Sci-Fi Wire. Battlestar Galactica executive producer Ron Moore has been hired to write the script. The 1982 film centered on a group of researchers (among them Kurt Russell) in the Antarctic who are terrorized by a shapeshifting alien.
