With Green Lantern currently at the box office, its director, Martin Campbell, is taking the opportunity to get some three-year-old gripes off his chest. The director is credited with giving the James Bond franchise the reboot it needed with 2006’s Casino Royale starring Daniel Craig, but he says the movie’s sequel, 2008's Quantum of Solace, didn’t quite keep the momentum going.
“Oh, I thought it was lousy,” Campbell tells CraveOnline. “And hopefully this next one will be terrific. Sam Mendes is directing it and I’m sure it’ll be terrific.”
Launching the spending frenzy from inside the shop, Miss Arterton said: "Harrods has always been one of my favourite London stores so I'm thrilled that they invited me along to open the best sale in the world.
"So ladies and gentlemen, all I can say now is get ready, get steady, shop."
The hordes of customers then flooded in, heading straight for the heavily discounted designer goods.
But Arterton, sporting a sequinned black Balmain dress and boots, said she had her eye on the homeware department this year.
"I've just finished doing up my house so I might go and have a look around the home section, which makes me sound really grown up," she giggled.
"Usually it would be shoes, but yeah, it's linens and things like that."
“I just thought the story was pretty uninteresting,” Campbell goes on to say about Quantum of Solace. “I didn’t think the action was related to the characters. I just thought overall it was a bit of a mess really.”
