This article is about the 2006 film, for other uses of this name, see Casino Royale.

Template:Infobox Film Bond

Casino Royale is the 21st James Bond film in the series and the first to star Daniel Craig as British Secret Service agent James Bond. Based on the 1953 novel Casino Royale by Ian Fleming, it was adapted by Neal Purvis, Robert Wade, and Academy Award-winning screenwriter Paul Haggis and directed by Martin Campbell, director of the 1995 Bond film GoldenEye. It is produced by EON Productions. The film, and Daniel Craig's performance in particular, quickly earned critical acclaim. It is the highest grossing James Bond film to date.[1]

Casino Royale is a reboot of the series. The events in the film are not designed to precede Dr. No or any other Bond films, as in a prequel; instead, they establish a new timeline and narrative framework, though it is still considered the 21st entry in the film series by EON Productions. This film marks the third screen adaptation of Ian Fleming's first Bond novel, which was previously produced as a 1954 television episode and a 1967 film spoof. However, the 2006 release is the only official EON Productions adaptation of Fleming's novel. Casino Royale is the first official Bond film to be co-produced by Columbia Pictures, which had produced and originally distributed the 1967 non-canonical film version of the same name; this is the result of the 2005 Sony/Comcast consortium's acquisition of MGM, parent company of Bond film series rights co-owner United Artists.

Casino Royale is the first Bond film to take its title from an Ian Fleming novel or short story since 1987's The Living Daylights. It is also the first Bond film since The Living Daylights not to be adapted as a novelisation. Instead a film tie-in edition of Fleming's original novel was published in the U.K. on October 31 2006.[2]

Plot

Template:Spoiler

File:Daniel Craig Casino Royale Gunbarrel Sequence.jpg
Daniel Craig as James Bond in the gunbarrel sequence.

At the opening of the film, Bond is sent on a mission in Prague to kill an MI6 section chief, Dryden, who has sold British secrets. Bond must make two kills to qualify for Double-0 status, granting him a licence to kill: first, Dryden's associate, and then the section chief himself. Dryden's death was a clean shooting. The violent, brutal killing of the associate in the men's room leads to the opening credits. Unlike in other Bond films the opening is filmed in black and white, and the gunbarrel sequence is modified to form part of the opening titles.

Bond then travels to Madagascar in pursuit of an international bomb-maker. The two engage in a parkour-inspired chase sequence that ends in the embassy building of Nambutu. When surrounded by embassy soldiers, Bond kills the bomb-maker and blows up part of the embassy in the process. Bond's actions are recorded on closed-circuit television and exposed in the world press, which enrages M, his boss at MI6.

Le Chiffre, an unscrupulous banker who manages money for terrorist organizations, uses his connections to stage attacks against certain companies in order to buy put options for their shares with his clients' funds. Anticipating a plan to blow up a new airplane at the airport in Miami, Le Chiffre short sells shares of the airliner's manufacturer. Bond foils the attack and stock price does not fall, causing huge losses for Le Chiffre.

To recoup this loss, Le Chiffre sets up a high-stakes Texas hold 'em poker tournament at Casino Royale in Montenegro. MI6 enters Bond in the tournament to bankrupt Le Chiffre; if he succeeds, it will deny Le Chiffre the money he needs and force him to aid the British government in exchange for protection from his creditors. Bond meets up with Mathis, his contact in Montenegro, and Vesper Lynd, a Treasury agent, who is assigned to look after Bond's handling of the $10 million buy-in.

During the game, Bond discovers the poker tell that Le Chiffre commits when he is bluffing. However, Bond is later betrayed when Le Chiffre misleads Bond by committing his tell when he has a strong hand, and Bond loses his entire initial stake. Vesper refuses to grant Bond the $5 million necessary to re-buy, so he decides to assassinate Le Chiffre, but American CIA agent Felix Leiter intervenes. Leiter, who is also undercover playing the game, feels that Bond can beat Le Chiffre and gives him the $5 million. In return, Bond agrees to let the CIA take custody of Le Chiffre instead of MI6.

Back at the table, Bond is poisoned by Le Chiffre's henchwoman, Valenka, who slips digitalis into his drink. He leaves the table and staggers out to his car, where MI6 uses his implant to diagnose the poison. After administering the antidote from the car's medical kit, he tries to activate a defibrillator. However, due to a loose connector, he nearly dies until Vesper comes to his aid. Bond returns to defeat Le Chiffre, but the villain eludes capture and kidnaps Vesper. After a near-fatal car chase, Bond is also captured. Le Chiffre tortures Bond by repeatedly striking his testicles with a carpet beater to make him reveal the account password to the game's winnings. Bond does not yield and, in the process, taunts Le Chiffre. When it becomes clear that Bond will not give in, Le Chiffre moves to castrate him. An instant before he does, Mr. White arrives and kills everyone, including Le Chiffre, leaving Bond and Vesper alive. Bond awakens in a hospital on Lake Como and has Mathis, whom Le Chiffre identified as a double agent, arrested.

Later, a banker arrives to transfer the winnings and Bond reveals to Vesper that the password for the transfer is her own name. He admits his love for Vesper and vows to quit the service before it strips him of his humanity. When she agrees, Bond e-mails his resignation to M, and the two go on a romantic holiday in Venice.

Bond soon learns that the funds were never deposited in the Treasury's account and discovers Vesper taking the money to a mysterious organization only vaguely alluded to throughout the film. Bond pursues them into a building under renovation. Upon locating several of this group's men hiding there, he deliberately shoots and ruptures the flotation devices supporting the structure and the foundation collapses slowly into the Grand Canal. Vesper commits suicide by locking herself in an elevator that sinks underwater. Mr. White is shown on an opposite balcony surveying the scene, then walking away with the money. Bond, feeling betrayed ("The bitch is dead," he says, a direct quote from the original novel), learns from M that Vesper had a French-Algerian boyfriend who was kidnapped by the organisation for whom she negotiated the handover of money in order to save his life. Bond, who has Vesper's mobile phone, discovers that, as a last act, Vesper left Mr. White's name and number in her phone for Bond to find. In the next scene, Mr. White, arriving at a palatial estate, receives a phone call. A voice on the line says, "Mr. White? We need to talk." As White asks "Who is this?", he is shot in the leg. As he crawls towards the villa, Bond appears, revealing himself as the shooter, and responds to Mr. White's question with the iconic catch phrase, "The name's Bond. James Bond."

Cast

Two major exclusions from the film are the characters of Q and Miss Moneypenny. They were not included in the screenplay, which makes this only the second Bond film without Q (Live and Let Die being the other) and the first without Moneypenny. In October 2005, producer Michael G. Wilson stated that the omission of the characters was due to the characters not appearing in the novel; however Moneypenny was in the novel and had one line of dialogue, although Major Boothroyd, which the films transformed into the character Q, did not appear until several books later.[3]

Cameo

The movie features cameo roles by British entrepreneur Richard Branson (seen being frisked at an airport), American hotel tycoon Jerry Inzerillo, Brazilian supermodel Alessandra Ambrosio (seen when Bond first approaches the Ocean Club), and Sens Unik rapper Carlos Leal. Key members of the production also feature in cameo roles — producer Michael G. Wilson appears as the corrupt Montenegrin police chief, continuing his long-standing tradition of Bond film cameos dating from Goldfinger, while director of cinematography Phil Meheux features briefly as a treasury bureaucrat and the film's director Martin Campbell makes a fleeting cameo as the face of the murdered petrol tanker driver at Miami Airport. In addition, Chinese actress Tsai Chin, who played Ling in the opening sequence of You Only Live Twice, appears as one of the players in the Casino Royale poker game.[4]

Production

Development

The film is said to take James Bond "back to his roots" in a film that would be similar to From Russia with Love, where the focus was on character and plot rather than high-tech gadgets and visual effects, two issues that were most criticised in Die Another Day.[citation needed] Additionally, EON admitted that they relied too heavily on CGI effects and accomplished the stunts in Casino Royale "the old fashioned way."[5] The move towards more action, bigger special effects and CGI in recent Bond films was in part due to a need to compete at the time with big-budget action films that dominated the 1990s box office.[citation needed] However, the success of less grandiose action films such as The Bourne Supremacy in the last few years has suggested the time may be right for the Bond series to scale back as it did during the Roger Moore era with For Your Eyes Only, which followed special effects extravaganzas like Moonraker.[citation needed]

Casting

On October 14, 2004, Pierce Brosnan confirmed that he would not be playing Bond in Bond 21; he stated "it's absolutely over," and that he considered himself "fired" from the role.

Throughout 2004 and 2005, an endless stream of potential new "Bonds", both unknowns and established Hollywood actors, were announced by some media. Michael G. Wilson claimed there was a list of over 200 names.[citation needed] Of note, Eric Bana, Clive Owen, Hugh Jackman, and Daniel Craig were at one point confirmed to have been signed or to have been offered the role by various news outlets.[citation needed] Rumours surrounding Owen intensified in early 2005 after he was awarded a Golden Globe and a BAFTA and nominated for a Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his 2004 film, Closer.

Wikinews has related news:

In May 2005, Daniel Craig stated that MGM had assured him that he had the job, likewise Matthew Vaughn told reporters that MGM offered him the opportunity to direct, but for both EON Productions had not approached them.[6] Later, Craig stated that the producers offered him the role, but he turned the role down when they didn't have a script for him to read first.[7] By August 2005, the 37-year-old Daniel Craig was still considered by many to be in the running. On October 14 2005, EON Productions and Sony Pictures Entertainment confirmed to the public that Daniel Craig would be the new James Bond.

After Daniel Craig was announced as James Bond, attention turned to the casting of the lead Bond girl, Vesper Lynd. Casting director Debbie McWilliams has acknowledged that Angelina Jolie and Charlize Theron were "strongly considered" for the role.[8] McWilliams also stated that Cécile de France auditioned for the role, but her English accent "wasn't up to scratch." Audrey Tautou was also considered, but ultimately not chosen because of her role in The Da Vinci Code that was released in May 2006.[9] Eva Green was finally announced as having been cast on February 16 2006.

Filming

Principal photography for Casino Royale commenced on January 30, 2006, and concluded on July 21, 2006. The film was primarily shot at Barrandov Studios in Prague, with additional location shooting in the Czech Republic, The Bahamas, Italy, and the United Kingdom. Production returned to its traditional home of Pinewood Studios to complete the shooting schedule.

Initially, Michael G. Wilson confirmed that Casino Royale would be filmed and/or take place in Prague and South Africa. However, following problems for EON Productions in securing film locations in South Africa,[10] the producers had to reconsider their options. On September 13, 2005, CommanderBond.net reported that Martin Campbell (director) and Phil Meheux (director of photography) were scouting Paradise Island in the Bahamas as a possible location for the film.[11] On October 6, 2005, Martin Campbell confirmed that Casino Royale would film in the Bahamas and "maybe Italy." In addition to the extensive location filming, studio work was done at the Barrandov Studios in Prague and at Pinewood Studios in England, where the film used several stages as well as the paddock tank and the historic Albert R. Broccoli 007 Stage. Further shooting in the UK was scheduled for Dunsfold Aerodrome in Surrey, the cricket pavilion at Eton College (although that particular scene was cut from the completed movie) and the Millbrook Vehicle Proving Ground in Bedfordshire.

After principal photography had commenced in Prague on January 30 2006, the production moved to the Bahamas. Several locations around New Providence were used for filming during February and March, largely on Paradise Island and in the southern Coral Harbour area, with an abandoned Royal Bahamian Air Force base being a particularly important location for the production. Footage set in Uganda was filmed at Black Park, Country Park in Buckinghamshire concluding on July 4 2006. Additional scenes took place at Albany House — an estate recently acquired by golfers Ernie Els and Tiger Woods.[12]

The crew returned to the Czech Republic in April, and continued there, filming in Prague, Planá and Loket, before completing in the town of Karlovy Vary in May. A disused spa, formerly known as the Kaiserbad, in Karlovy Vary was used as the exterior of the Casino Royale, with the Grandhotel Pupp serving as the "Hotel Splendide" where Bond stays during his time in Montenegro.[13]

The main Italian location alluded to by Campbell is Venice, where the majority of the film's ending is set. Other scenes in the latter half of the film were filmed in late May and early June at the Villa del Balbianello on the shores of Lake Como.[14] Further exterior shooting for the movie took place at properties such as the Villa la Gaeta, near the lakeside town of Menaggio.

On July 30, 2006, a fire broke out at the Albert R. Broccoli 007 Stage at Pinewood. The damage was significant, but had no effect on the release of Casino Royale as the sets were in the process of being taken down.[15] The incident occurred one week after filming of Casino Royale had been completed. On 11 August 2006, Pinewood Studios confirmed that no attempt would be made to salvage the remains of the stage, which would be demolished.[16] A couple of months afterwards, it was announced that the 007 Stage would be rebuilt.[17]

Vehicles and gadgets

Main articles: List of James Bond vehicles and List of James Bond gadgets
  • Aston Martin DBS — Bond drives the new Aston Martin DBS in Casino Royale. Daniel Craig personally visited the Aston Martin headquarters in Gaydon, Warwickshire on January 13 2006 to view and test drive the car.[18] The vehicle is fitted with hidden compartments, containing a medical kit complete with an automated external defibrillator, a service pistol and a suppressor.
  • Aston Martin DB5 — Bond's famed Aston Martin DB5 which he wins in a poker game from Dimitrios, first featured in Goldfinger and later Thunderball, Goldeneye, and Tomorrow Never Dies. The classic DB5 model is featured in Casino Royale alongside the new DBS model. [19]
  • Microchip implant transmitter — Injected into Bond's arm before he leaves for Montenegro. The device is both a tracking device and a medical monitor. When Bond is poisoned by Le Chiffre, Bond's vital signs and medical information are transmitted directly to MI6 headquarters. The data, transmitted in real time, enables MI6 personnel to remotely diagnose the poison used (digitalis), that Bond has gone into ventricular tachycardia, and what drug to use to counteract it.

Soundtrack

Main article: Casino Royale (2006 soundtrack)

The soundtrack to the 2006 film Casino Royale was released by Sony Classical on November 14, 2006. The music was composed by David Arnold and is Arnold's fourth soundtrack for the film series. Frequent collaborator Nicholas Dodd orchestrated and conducted the score. The title song You Know My Name is performed by Chris Cornell, though it is not present on the soundtrack.

Release and response

Casino Royale premiered at the Odeon Leicester Square, the Odeon West End and the Empire simultaneously in London on November 14, 2006. It marked the 60th Royal Film Performance and benefited the Cinema & Television Benevolent Fund (CTBF), whose patron, Queen Elizabeth II, was in attendance with the Duke of Edinburgh. It was the third James Bond premiere that the Queen had attended following You Only Live Twice (1967) and Die Another Day (2002). [20] [21] Along with the cast and crew, numerous celebrities and 5,000 paying guests were also in attendance with half the proceeds benefiting the CTBF.

Critics

Reviewers gave a very positive response to the film, especially to Craig's performance. Rotten Tomatoes gave the movie an aggregate rating of 95%, the highest rating for a wide-release of the year. The Users' rating was 92%.[22] Metacritic gave the movie a Metascore of 80 signifying "Generally Favorable Reviews." The movie has also attained a weighted average of 7.9/10 from IMDB users. The Daily Mirror (which had once run a front page news story critical of Craig, with the headline, The Name's Bland - James Bland[23]) and The Daily Telegraph compared him to Sean Connery, and the latter praised the script as smartly written, the former noting how the film departed from the series' conventions. The Times also compared Craig to Timothy Dalton, and praised the action as edgy,[24] with another reviewer citing in particular the crane sequence in Madagascar.[25] Paul Arendt of BBC Films went higher in his praise, acclaiming Craig as the first actor to truly nail Ian Fleming's character.[26] Kim Newman of Empire[27] and Todd McCarthy of Variety agreed.[28] In North America, the movie was also tremendously well-received. MSNBC gave the movie a perfect 5 star rating. [29]

Michael Medved gave Casino Royale three stars (out of four) calling it "...intriguing, audacious and very original...". Medved further stated that it is "...more believable, less cartoonish, than previous 007 extravaganzas.", but the "...sometimes sluggish pacing will frustrate some Bond fanatics."[30]

A reviewer for The Sun praised the film for its darkness and Craig's performance although they felt "like the novel, it suffers from a lack of sharpness in the plot" and felt it required some editing.[31] A down note came from Tim Adams of The Observer who felt the film came off uncomfortably in an attempt to make the series grittier.[32] Emanuell Levy agreed, feeling the film's terrorist villains lacked depth, and the ending was long, although he praised Craig and gave the film a B+ overall.[33] Richard Roeper gave the film a 3 out of 4. In a poll conducted by IMDb, Casino Royale was voted by respondents as their favorite Bond film.[34]

Box office

Opening day estimates in the United States and Canada show it on top with $14,750,000. Opening weekend estimates in the United States and Canada put it in second place with $40,600,000,[35] as well as earning another $42,000,000 internationally. Though Happy Feet won the weekend box office overall figures, Casino Royale, per theatre, outperformed Happy Feet which was released in 370 more theatres. Also, Happy Feet, having little more than half the running time of Casino Royale, has had more showings per day. According to Box Office Mojo, Casino Royale acquired, on average, $11,890 per theatre, while Happy Feet grossed $10,918 per theatre. [36] [37]

Weekend opening total in the UK was £13,400,000, beating the previous record of £9,100,000 held by Pierce Brosnan's Die Another Day. It became the third biggest opening weekend of all time, behind Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest.

Die Another Day's entire British intake ($59,000,000) was outgrossed by Casino Royale after two weeks, having taken over $73,450,000.
