Bond bombshell Sydney bound?, by Christine Sams - The Sun-Herald - 23rd June 2008

Daniel Craig is negotiating to return to Sydney for the premiere of the next Bond film, Quantum Of Solace.

The suave star, who wowed Australian film fans with his cool portrayal of James Bond, may be here in late November for a red carpet premiere of the film.

A source from the film's Australian distributor, Sony Pictures, said: "We're in negotiations about that at the moment - we're certainly trying."

Asked whether Craig would be the star guest at an Australian-based Bond event, she added: "We hope so."

Of course, Craig is in demand all over the world as the hype begins to build towards the next Bond instalment. Quantum Of Solace is a sequel to Casino Royale - the film that was a smash-hit starring Craig - and picks up the storyline only hours after the last movie finished.

At this stage, the film is due for release in Australia in late November. If Craig visits for a Bond premiere, he is likely to make a whirlwind trip to Sydney as part of a global jaunt promoting the film.
