Eva Green gives an interview in this months Vanity Fair, in which she discusses the exhaustive press junket in preparation for Casino Royale. Mostly, she says she hated smiling for the “shitty magazines” yet we can only assume present company is excluded:

“I love photo shoots where I can be like a pinup, not myself,” Green gushes. “Where I can be feminine, glamorous, dark … not like in real life. I hate it when you go in and they want you to be ‘natural,’ to be yourself. I just hate it. I love having fun. When they ask you to smile, I hate it. Of course I smile in my real life, but to do it on cue, that’s not spontaneous. I’d rather do something that’s like a little movie, like a little story, rather than just me—I feel naked.”

Eva soon appears in December’s The Golden Compass, which boasts a reported $180-million-plus budget and pairs her up with Daniel Craig yet again. However successful Eva and Daniel Craig’s initial pairing might have been, the fact that The Golden Compass also stars Nicole Kidman is a bit scary, since Craig and Kidman’s last venture was rather, well, shitty.
