I was thrilled to have the opportunity. I grew up with the Zorro films and TV show. I must say that I think the [1940] Tyrone Power film ['The Mark of Zorro'] is a bit overrated, and in 'The Mask of Zorro' I wanted to take things back to the dash and athleticism of the Fairbanks original. -Martin Campbell

Of course, it'll probably be north of $100 million, as they tend to be, because these days, ironically enough, there's an awful lot of films that are costing that, but beyond that, I can't tell you.

It is really the arc in which he becomes Bond. He starts out just having earned his double-0 stripes and comes out at the end the Bond we know and love. -Martin Campbell

The great thing about it is that he makes mistakes and screws up. Bond finds violence hard to take, he won't admit to that. He has to do two killings, one is very messy. He falls in love with a girl, genuinely falls in love.

No, his teeth didn't get knocked out. What happened was that one of his caps came loose while we were filming in Prague. A local dentist came to the set, put a bit of glue on it, and that was that. The whole thing took 10 minutes. -Martin Campbell
