Default Casino Royale = Bond 21

James Bond 21 Is Casino Royale
3rd February 2005

MI6 can confirm that the 21st James Bond film will be titled "Casino Royale" and will be directed by Martin Campbell. Eon Productions officially announced the news in a press release today.

Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli, producers of the James Bond films, and MGM announced today that Martin Campbell will direct CASINO ROYALE, the 21st film in the 007 franchise.


Above: Martin Campbell will direct the 21st James Bond film Casino Royale. This is Campbell’s second time as helmer of a James Bond film. In 1995 he directed the hit GOLDENEYE which introduced Pierce Brosnan to the role of 007 with great success.

Wilson and Broccoli said: “We are thrilled that Martin has accepted our offer to direct CASINO ROYALE. He is an extremely talented director and we believe he will help take our films in a new and exciting direction. He is currently finishing filming ‘Legend Of Zorro’, the sequel to ‘The Mask Of Zorro’, and will be joining EON Productions shortly to work on the development of the script with our writers, Neal Purvis and Robert Wade.”


MGM Vice Chairman and COO Chris McGurk said: “Martin is an incredibly exciting filmmaker. GOLDENEYE was a wonderful movie and helped reinvigorate the Bond franchise. We’re thrilled to have him back to direct the newest Bond.”

Born in New Zealand, Campbell moved to England in 1966 and made his directorial debut on the popular TV series’ ‘The Professionals’ and ‘Minder’. He moved to America in 1986 to direct ‘Criminal Law’ and ‘Defenceless’. Following GOLDENEYE, he went on to direct ‘The Mask Of Zorro’, ‘Vertical Limit’ and ‘Beyond Borders’ and is currently directing ‘Legend Of Zorro’.

CASINO ROYALE will be released in 2006 and distributed world-wide by MGM. No decision has yet been made regarding casting for the role of ‘James Bond’.

Rumours Come True
Campbell directed Pierce Brosnan's "GoldenEye" in 1995 and is set to usher in another new Bond in 2006 with "Casino Royale". Campbell was rumoured to be linked to the production since July 2003, and the Hollywood Reporter announced him as "signed" last month

The first ever hint that Bond 21 would be based around Ian Fleming's first literary 007 adventure "Casino Royale" came in June 2004 when an insider leaked on the MI6 Forums that "elements of the story have been influenced by Fleming's original 007 novel, but it is NOT completely based on it".

At least now it has name and director. All we need is a cast.

Good that it is not completely based on the original novel, it would not make a good movie at all, and would probably be given an extremely high censorship rating

Lol, I wonder if it will be better than the previous Casino Royal film? Not that that would exactly be difficult

That said, I think I've grown out of Bond a tad anyway. I have all of them from Dr No to TWINE on video, but I never bothered to get Die Another Day.... Anyway, cheers for posting

I'm still curious as to who they can get to play Bond. Save for him already playing another character in one Sean Bean would perhaps have been good, but perhaps they should go with an unknown, going for raw talent instead of a name (not like the franchise needs any help with publicity)

I wouldn´t be suprised even if Pierce´d come out saying he´d gotten an offer he couldn´t refuse although he´s been saying Bond is over for him. Connery did the same thing and look what happened. Stranger things have happened. But if it isn´t Pierce, I´d rather see an unknown person rather than someone who´s known everywhere.

You can watch the new trailer here. Not bad. Not sure though if it has that "Bond-feel" in it. Can´t wait to see the movie.
