International Women's Day 2011
Judy Dench and Daniel Craig in James Bond mode support International Women's Day
The two-minute short, specially commissioned for International Women's Day, sees 007 star Daniel Craig undergo a dramatic makeover as he puts himself, quite literally, in a woman's shoes.
Directed by acclaimed Nowhere Boy director/conceptual artist Sam Taylor-Wood, scripted by Jane Goldman (Kick Ass) and featuring the voice of Judi Dench reprising her role as 'M', the film will be screened in cinemas and streamed online in a bid to highlight the levels of inequality that persist between men and women in the U.K. and worldwide. It is the first film featuring Bond to be directed by a woman.
