CRAIG ADMITS, HE'S REINVENTING BOND Friday, August 11 2006 
Daniel
Craig
has
clearly
been
stung
by
blogs
that
have
criticized
his
selection
as
the
new
James
Bond.
"If
I
went
onto
the
Internet
and
started
looking
at
what
some
people
were
saying
about
me
--
which,
sadly,
I
have
done
--
it
would
drive
me
insane,"
the
British
actor
told
Entertainment
Weekly
in
its
latest
edition

"They

In
what

The Ford Motor Company will unveil its all-new Ford Mondeo in the upcoming James Bond movie Casino Royale, as part of a product placement deal with Sony/MGM. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. Reports said that although James Bond will still drive an Aston Martin in most of the film, he'll be seen at the beginning of the film driving the Mondeo to his hotel in the Bahamas. In a statement, Martin Smith design chief for Ford of Europe, disclosed that since the car won't roll off the assembly line until the second quarter of next year, "we had to create a one-off, drivable model based around a design studio property" in Cologne, Germany, then transport it in secrecy to the Bahamas, where it was filmed, and then returned in secrecy to Cologne. Ford of Europe Vice President Stephen Odell added, "It is particularly exciting for us to have this appearance by Ford's all-new flagship model in the same film that introduces a new James Bond [Daniel Craig]."
