CRAIG TALKS OF 'EMOTIONAL' BOND AT QUANTUM OF SOLACE PREMIERE

Quantum of Solace star Daniel Craig mixed with princes William and Harry at the Royal world premiere of the new James Bond film in London last night.

The actor hit the red carpet in Leicester Square with his arm in a sling, having injured his soldier, and accompanied by long-time partner Satsuki Mitchell.

"This is a great, exciting, action-packed Bond movie with a lot of emotion and good feeling in it," he told BBC News.

And when asked why it was important the Quantum of Solace premiere be held in London, he replied: "Because it's Bond - it's as British as it could be."

Directed by Marc Forster, the 22nd Bond film picks up immediately after Casino Royale, making it the first sequel in the franchises' 4o-year history.

Though its name is taken from an Ian Fleming short story, Quantum of Solace sees Bond out for revenge for the betrayal of his girlfriend Vesper Lynd (Eva Green) and on the trial of the shadowy Dominic Greene (Mathieu Amalric) and his Quantum organisation, who aim to overthrow South American governments.

As always, Bond is joined by new female companions, with Russia actress Olga Kurylenko saying the London premiere was "overwhelming".

British starlet Gemma Arterton, who plays an MI6 agent, added: "I can't get my head round it, I feel like I've gone into some weird sleep - it's fantastic.

"I never thought I'd meet royalty so I've got to scrub up and be on my best behaviour."

Quantum of Solace is released on Friday October 31st.
