"It is one dimensional when Bond girls are just glamorous and beautiful. As Bond becomes more human, women in his lifehave to evolve to match this change."They need to have more potential for a man like James Bond to fall in love with them. He will not be attracted to awoman who is merely beautiful. They have to be equal to Bond," Harris said.
In the past few Bond films actresses like Halle Berry, Eva Green, Olga Kurylenko and Gemma Arterton have brought moreedge to the character and Harris is happy to be part of this growing tradition.
"I love playing strong, independent women onscreen and that's what drew me to the character of field agent Eve. Sheis very capable, intelligent and ambitious. She wants to be seen as the new Bond and that's what she is aiming for and Ilove that ambition in her," says Harris.
Skyfall, which was delayed for almost two years after MGM faced financial trouble, will be released by Sony PicturesEntertainment in India on November 2 this year. It is currently being filmed in different parts of the world.
