Pull quote: Casino Royale's Mads Mikkelsen and Caterina Murino
Tidbits from Monday morning interviews: Danish star Mads Mikkelsen (Open Hearts), who plays the bad guy in Casino Royale, as well as in Pusher II, part of the upcoming DVD release of The Pusher Trilogy, isn't a big believer in Method acting; "In order to play a victim of rape, you don't necessarily have to be raped... To want to hit somone hard is a feeling I know." Playing Solange, a woman married of a Bond adversary and who strikes sparks with 007, Caterina Murino says, in a deliciously baroque Italian-Spanish-French-Caterina accent, her role is a modern woman: "[Women] used to be fucked, but we fuck now. Just from the touch of James Bond, she has an orgasm. She loved to be fucked by him." Murino says "I am really happy to be part of the European cinema," since other scripts she gets, "They just give me the role of beautiful, dangerous and sexy. I always reject a role with my beauty [as the only draw]." Solange is different because "she is not there to make seduce, seduction of James Bond." The 29-year-0ld Sardinian veteran of sixteen features wanted to be a doctor, failed entrance exams twice and became a model, but now after traveling to Africa, she's become part of a foundation, and "to hold those childen with SIDA [AIDS], I have been given a second chance to help the children in a different way, thanks to James."
