Stockholm Press Conference
14th October 2008
Cast members Daniel
Craig (007), Olga
Kurylenko (Camille),
director Marc
Forster, and producer Barbara
Broccoli attended a photo call in Stockholm,
Sweden today. Craig, Kurylenko and Forster posted for photographers
outside the Grand Hotel
in the capital city on Tuesday 14th October 2008 before taking
questions from journalists from Sweden, Norway and Denmark.

The 007-star arrived in Stockholm
at 10:30pm on Monday night, where a large group of fans were
waiting to catch a glimpse
of Craig and girlfriend Satsuki Mitchell. Two minutes later,
the new Bond girl arrived and spent some
time signing autographs for the crowd. When it was time for
Kurylenko finish, security had to deal with a small scuffle between
fans.
When quizzed by reporters about
how long he intends to stay on in the role of James Bond, Craig
said he will "make as many as I can" and added that
he is contracted to star in four 007 outings. "Quantum of
Solace" is his second, following up the box-office smash "Casino
Royale" where he made his debut in the famous tuxedo in
2006.
Craig confirmed his shoulder injury was a long-standing
complaint from performing action in several films, and now was
the time to get it corrected in between productions. He apologised
to reporters and fans that he couldn't shake hands or sign autographs
with anyone as he was under orders not to move his arm from his
sling.
"It is clear [the film] is worth the money
and effort spent on it, how the premiere will go, I don't know,
but I am very pleased with the outcome", Craig told reporters.
Now that the story-arc from "Casino Royale" is completed
with this film, Craig said that the producers had a blank canvas
for his third film. Craig joked that they may make a comedy,
or a remake of Austin Powers. How long before a tabloid newspaper
runs that as fact?
The promotional event in Sweden followed on from
yesterday's
first photo call in Moscow, Russia. After Stockholm they
go on to the
U.S. prior to the start of a longer tour of Europe, said Pernilla
Angelin, public relations manager at Sony Pictures in Sweden.
