Bond Star Craig Kisses a Man in a Movie

No doubt there are plenty of on-screen kisses in store for the entertainment star Daniel Craig, who plays the new James Bond. But none of those will be more famous than the one that premiered at the Venice Film Festival. Craig plays one of the men who brutally murdered a Kansas farm family in the movie "Infamous," which examines Truman Capote`s emotional journey into the minds of two killers that formed the core of his true-crime novel, "In Cold Blood."

An attachment grew between Capote and confessed killer Perry Smith during the long periods the author spent in Kansas teasing out their story, and in a pivotal moment, the two men kiss. "I never dreamed I`d kiss James Bond," jokes Toby Jones, the British actor who plays Capote. "Now that I`ve done it, I say I hope I`m just the first of many."

Director Douglas McGrath said Craig was not a recognizable screen presence to most moviegoing audiences when he cast the 38-year-old actor for his movie, which also stars the famous entertainment star Sandra Bullock. However, now he is expecting the things to be very different. Craig missed Thursday night`s premiere, reportedly to finish work on the Bond picture, "Casino Royale," due out in November. While the Bond movie will enjoy a much wider release, McGrath said the close timing is good for both films ? and a good opportunity for audiences to see what Craig is made of.
