Born in Paris, France, she made her debut in Bertolucci’s critically acclaimed The Dreamers.

We believe Eva as Vesper, Mads as Le Chiffre and Jeffrey Wright as Felix Leiter are perfect additions to our cast and we couldn’t be more excited about the way this project has come together.”ĭescribed by Bernardo Bertolucci as “so beautiful it’s indecent,” Eva Green is one of the most intriguing actresses today. “When you think about the great James Bond adventures, of course you think about action and espionage, but you need to have palpable sexual tension in the movie and in casting Vesper, we really needed to up the ante, because this character is very much an equal to Bond and central to our story. “Vesper is a pivotal role in Casino Royale and it takes much more than beauty to make this role work,” said Amy Pascal, Chairman of the Columbia Pictures Motion Picture Group. Additional writing was contributed by Academy Award-nominated writer, Paul Haggis ( Crash/ Million Dollar Baby). Neal Purvis and Robert Wade wrote the screenplay based on author Ian Fleming’s first novel. Likewise Mads has such a compelling onscreen presence and his riveting performances in Open Hearts and Adam’s Apples convinced both us and director Martin Campbell that he was ideal for the role of Le Chiffre.”
