Director Martin Campbell reunites with his "The Mask of Zorro" stars Antonio Banderas and Catherine Zeta-Jones for "The Legend of Zorro."

The action in "The Legend of Zorro" takes place a few years after "The Mask of Zorro." Zorro (Banderas) has hung up his sword after promising his wife, Elena (Zeta-Jones), he will try and lead a normal life as Alejandro de la Vega. But when a new threat emerges that could alter the course of history, Alejandro has to don his Zorro mask and join the fight.

I caught up with "The Legend of Zorro" director Martin Campbell at the film's Los Angeles premiere and had the chance to find out why it took 7 years to make a sequel. And of course no interview with Campbell would be complete without a few questions about his upcoming Bond movie, "Casino Royale," and the casting of Daniel Craig as Bond, James Bond.

Will Daniel Craig keep his blonde locks for the iconic role of the super spy? Campbell addresses that question and more in this video from "The Legend of Zorro" premiere.
