Bond's the best says actress

Daniel Craig

New James Bond Daniel Craig has received a ringing endorsement from co-star Caterina Murino, who plays the secret agent's love interest Solange in Casino Royale.

Murino said filming went well, and she was sure that when the film is released in November Craig would win over those who doubted he was right for the role.

"Daniel is giving to this James Bond something else we never saw before," she said. "When he's going to kill someone, he looks like a real killer. When he kisses me, when he makes love, he's so sexy."

The film-makers say Sir Richard Branson will have a cameo role.
