our Daniel. I've translated this passage for you, hope you enjoy it:
Daniel Craig had impressed public and critics with films like Road to Perdition, Copenhagen, Sylvia and Munich - because of that the role of Lyras stern uncle was offered him. He accepted shortly before he came to international fame as newest James Bond in Casino Royale. To become the new 007 was an interesting challenge for Daniel, the date for filming The Golden Compass and Casino Royale sometimes overlaped and he had to change between polar explorer and MI6 agent. "Bond will monopolize Daniels live for a long time", says Chris Weitz, "so we were lucky to get him. Daniel is a handsome man, no "pretty boy", and he has the romantic look of a novel hero of the 19th century. He also is very intelligent and has a lot of humour and imparts both characteristics. Following the plan of shooting he only had to be on the set for 13 days, but Lord Asriels role is very important for the story and we knew that this character by means of Daniel would form the film."
I really loved this passage of the book and I hope I found the right words for the translation.
