Actor: Richard Sammel
Attempted methods of killing Bond: Getting armed guards to shoot at
him, shooting him, shooting him with a nail gun, knifing him.
How he is dispatched: He is shot in the eye with a nail gun
Evil scheme: To deliver the money Vesper
Lynd stole from the winnings of the poker game and hand it over to Mr.
White 120 miljon dollar
How plans were foiled: The money falls into the collapsing building
and he is killed. Yet White later gets the money anyway so his plans
weren't really foiled at all.
Henchman: Vesper
Defining dialogue: "I'll kill her!"
Bond: "Allow me" |
CASINO ROYALE 2006 - Villian Gettler is Richard Sammel
Gettler is an assassin working for Quantum (in the film) and
SMERSH (in the novel). He wears a Panama hat in both the film and novel.
Also, he wears an eyepatch in the novel, while in the film he wears
glasses with a darkened left lens. He is supposedly a Swiss watch salesman.
Adolph Gettler is a SMERSH operative sent to hunt down Bond and
Vesper after Le Chiffre is killed by SMERSH itself. He fails when Vesper
commits suicide.
|
Gettler is first seen by Vesper in Venice as she and Bond go
down the Grand Canal in their yacht. After Bond uncovers Vesper's betrayal,
he runs across the city trying to locate her and finds her about to hand
off the funds from the poker game with Le Chiffre to Gettler. Gettler
takes Vesper hostage with a dagger and Bond chases them into a building
under renovation, all the while having to outrun gunfire from Gettler's
men. When Gettler's bodyguard, The Tall Man, attempts to shoot Bond, the
agent causes the building to sink into the Grand Canal, thus starting an
all-out brawl between Gettler's thugs and Bond whilst avoiding the
steadily rising water level. During this fight Gettler's main weapon is a
Jericho 941. As the briefcase full of money drifts off the edge of a
floorboard, Gettler tries to grab it before it falls into the water below.
He loses the case, but it is later retrieved by Mr. White. During the
brawl Gettler aids in the fight against Bond although he primarily stays
out of range. Bond fights his way through several thugs, and finally kills
Gettler by shooting his left eye (the one covered with a darkened lens)
with the same nailgun that Gettler attempted to kill Bond with moments
before. Gettler's corpse is then left sitting on the ground as the
building sinks into the canal |

M (Judi Dench) places Bond under the watchful eye of the beguiling VESPER
LUND (Eva Green). At first skeptical of what value Vesper can provide, Bond's
interest in her deepens as they brave danger together and even torture at the
hands of Le Chiffre.
In Montenegro, Bond allies himself with MATHIS (Giancarlo Giannini) MI6's
local field agent, and FELIX LEITER (Jeffrey Wright) who is representing the
interests of the CIA. The marathon game proceeds with dirty tricks and
violence, raising the stakes beyond blood money and reaching a terrifying
climax.
James Bond's first "007" mission leads him to Le Chiffre (Mads
Mikkelsen), banker to the world's terrorists. In order to stop him, and bring
down the terrorist network, Bond must beat Le Chiffre in a high-stakes poker
game at Casino Royale. Bond is initially annoyed when a beautiful British
Treasury official, Vesper Lynd (Eva Green), is assigned to deliver his stake
for the game and watch over the government's money. But, as Bond and Vesper
survive a series of lethal attacks by Le Chiffre and his henchmen, a mutual
attraction develops leading them both into further danger and events that will
shape Bond's life forever.

Daniel Craig och Judi Dench i Casino Royale
Spioneri på kasinot
Bonds första 007-uppdrag för honom till Madagaskar, där han
har i uppdrag att spionera på terroristen Mollaka (Sebastien
Foucan). Allt går inte enligt planen, och Bond beslutar sig för
att undersöka, oberoende av MI6, för att spåra resten av
terroristcellerna.
När han följer upp en ledtråd till Bahamas möter han Dimitros
(Simon Abkarian) och hans flickvän Solange (Caterina Murino). Han
får veta att Dimitrios har kopplingar till Le Chiffre (Mads
Mikkelsen), som är bankir för världens terroristorganisationer.
Secret Services avslöjar att Le Chiffre planerar att satsa pengar
i ett pokerspel med höga insatser i Montenegro på Le Casino
Royale. MI6, som vet att Le Chiffres organisation krossas om han förlorar,
skickar 007 på uppgiften att spela mot honom.
M (Judi Dench) sätter Bond under Vesper Lynds (Eva Green) vakande
öga. Till en början är Bond skeptisk till hur mycket Vesper kan
bistå med, men hans intresse för henne ökar när de tappert möter
faror – och även tortyr av Le Chiffre – tillsammans.
I Montenegro allierar sig Bond med Mathis (Giancarlo Giannini),
MI6:s lokala fältagent, och Felix Leiter (Jeffrey Wright), som
representerar CIA:s intressen. Maratonspelet fortsätter med fula
trick och våld, och höjer insatserna bortom blodspengar tills
det når ett skräckinjagande klimax.
Martin Campbell, som regisserade Pierce Brosnans debutinsats
som 007 i GoldenEye, regisserar filmen som är den 21:a i
den 44 år gamla serien.
Casino Royale, som produceras av Michael G. Wilson och Barbara
Broccoli, har Daniel Craig, Eva Green, Mads Mikkelsen, Caterina
Murino och Jeffery Wright i rollerna.

Casino Royale med en
ny agent 007!
I CASINO ROYALE, som är den 21:a James Bond-filmen,
debuterar Daniel Craig som agent 007. Filmen hade
inspellningsstart i Tjeckien måndagen den 30 januari 2006.
Producerad för Eon Productions av Michael G. Wilson och Barbara
Broccoli och regisserad av Martin Campbell.
CASINO ROYALE följer James Bonds tidiga karriär. Hans första
uppdrag som ”dubbelnolla” leder honom till Le Chiffre (Mads
Mikkelsen), bankir för världens terrorister. För att stoppa
honom och krossa hans kriminella nätverk, måste Bond slå Le
Chiffre i ett pokerparti med höga insatser på Casino Royale.
Bond irriteras inledningsvis när vackra Vesper Lynd (Eva Green)
från finansdepartementet får uppdraget att leverera hans
insatser till spelet och vaka över regeringens pengar. Samtidigt
som Bond och Vesper överlever en serie mordiska attacker av Le
Chiffre och hans hejdukar, dras de till varandra. Det leder dem in
i ännu farligare situationer som kommer att förändra James
Bonds liv för alltid.
Manuset är skrivet av Neal Purvis, Robert Wade och Oscarbelönade
Paul Haggis och
CASINO ROYALE är inspelad i Prag och Karlovy Vary i Tjeckien, i
New Providence och Paradise Island i Bahamas. Man filmade också
vid italienska Comosjön och i Venedig, innan filmteamet återvände
till Storbritannien. Här spelade man in scener på flygplatsen
Dunsfold Airfield i Surrey, Eton College i Winsor,
Buckinghamshires Black Park och i den legendariska studiobyggnaden
”007 Stage” (som brann ner efter inspelningen) i Pinewood
Studios.
Brittiske skådespelaren Daniel Craig introduceras som James Bond
i CASINO ROYALE. Han stöttas av ett starkt internationellt skådespelaruppbåd.
Dame Judi Dench återvänder som M, chef för brittiska underrättelsetjänsten.
Vesper Lynd, den första kvinnan som James Bond blir kär i,
spelas av svenskättade fransyskan Eva Green. Danske skådespelaren
Mads Mikkelsen tar sig an rollen som Le Chiffre, en internationell
penningtvättare och Bonds motståndare i ett pokerparti med
mycket höga insatser.
Amerikanske skådespelaren Jeffrey Wright gestaltar Felix Leiter,
Bonds allierade från CIA, och ryktbare italienske skådespelaren
Giancarlo Giannini gör rollen som Mathis, Bonds kontakt från
MI6. Italienskan Caterina Murino gör rollen som Solange, den
vackra men olyckliga hustrun till en av Le Chiffres ondskefulla
medarbetare, som faller för James Bonds charm.
I filmen syns också den nya bilen Aston Martin DBS (i ett utförande
kallad ”Casino Ice”), som inte kommer att börja säljas förrän
2007, samt Bonds favorit Aston Martin DB5. I filmen avslöjar också
James Bond receptet till sin favoritmartini, ”The Vesper”.
CASINO ROYALE är en Albert R. Broccolis EON Production producerad

Intrigen i
korthet
Den 21.a Bondfilmen Casino Royale introducerar Daniel
Craig i rollen som 007. Filmen är baserad på Ian Flemings första
roman om Bond.
I Casino Royale möter vi James Bond innan han får sin licens
att döda. Men Bond är inte mindre farlig då, och efter att ha utfört två
snabba och professionella likvideringar befordras han till dubbelnolla.
Bonds första uppdrag som 007 för honom till Madagaskar där han ska
spionera på en terrorist, Mollaka (Sebastien Foucan). Allt går inte enligt
planerna och Bond beslutar sig för att undersöka det hela, utanför sitt
uppdrag från MI6, för att spåra upp resten av terroristcellen. Han följer
ett spår till Bahamas, där han träffar Dimitrios (Simon Abkarian) med sin
flickvän Solange (Caterina Murino). Bond får veta att Dimitrios har
kontakter med Le Chiffre (Mads Mikkelsen), bankir åt världens
terroristorganisationer.
Om
filmens tillkomst
Bondfans över hela världen hade under många år framfört
önskemål om att Eon skulle göra en "riktig" Bondfilm baserad på
Ian Flemings första Bondbok Casino Royale.
Som vi minns hade Fleming på ett (alltför) tidigt stadium sålt filmrättigheterna
till den här boken, med följd att Casino Royale inte ingick i det
paket Bondböcker som Saltzman & Broccoli köpte filmrättigheterna till
1961. Columbia gjorde så småningom film av Casino
Royale 1967 med David Niven som Bond och med Peter Sellers som
Evelyn Tremble. Det är en ökänt usel film som var tänkt som en parodi på
Bond och som i våra dagar mest fungerat som en förlaga för Austin
Powers-filmerna.
Columbia köptes senare av Sony. I samband med en juridisk uppgörelse
mellan MGM och Sony 2000 överfördes slutligen rättigheterna till Casino
Royale till MGM, som därigenom samlade alla Bondrättigheter under
sitt eget tak. Därmed kunde fansen börja hoppas på att bokens intrig
skulle kunna dyka upp i en kommande Bondfilm.
Den tjugonde Bondfilmen, Die Another Day, hade blivit en stor
kassasuccé, den mest inkomstbringande Bondfilmen så långt.
Alla räknade med att Pierce Brosnan skulle återkomma som
007.
Det fanns inte direkt något skäl för filmbolaget att byta ut honom efter
fyra framgångsrika Bondfilmer. Brosnan fick ett muntligt löfte om en
optionsrätt på "Bond 21", en nyhet som gick ut i media.
Men något hände.
Planeringen av nästa Bondfilm drog ut på tiden och det kom egentligen inga
konkreta nyheter, vilket lämnade fältet fritt för massor av
spekulationer. Andra skådespelare började pekas ut som ny 007 i brittisk
press, samtidigt som visst mediafokus plötsligt började läggas vid
Brosnans ålder. Var det dags för en yngre Bond nu?

Våren 2004 började det komma allt mer envisa uppgifter som hävdade att
Brosnan inte skulle få förnyat kontrakt som Bond. Förhandlingarna inför
den nya filmen ansågs kärva. Hade Brosnan begärt för högt gage? Ingen
visste riktigt. Brosnan själv började uttrycka tydlig irritation i
intervjuer. Han ville ha klara besked från Eon om hur det skulle bli med
Bondfilmen.
I Bahamas, under inspelningarna av filmen After the Sunset, fick
Brosnan ett telefonsamtal från producenterna, där de meddelade att de inte
tänkte förnya hans kontrakt och att de tänkte föryngra Bond i nästa
film.
Brosnan blev sur, dels för att ha fått sparken och dels för sättet han
meddelats på.
I oktober 2004 stod det klart att Brosnan var ute ur bilden. Det blev sedan
en hel del bittra känslor i intervjuer under hösten och vintern 2004.
Oavsett vilka andra filmer Brosnan försökte marknadsföra fick han bara frågor
om Bond från hela världens media. Samtidigt var det påtagligt tyst från
Eon. Det kom inga officiella besked, förutom att nästa Bondfilm skjutits
upp till 2006.
Under 2004 genomfördes dessutom en jätteaffär när Sony köpte hela
filmbolaget MGM för 4.8 miljarder dollar. Affären hade föregåtts av förhandlingar
under mer än ett halvår. Detta fördröjde givetvis planeringen av den nya
Bondfilmen.
Spekulationerna kring den nya Bondfilmen gick nu upp i absolut högvarv. Vem
skulle bli ny 007? Det fanns ingen självklar kandidat, även om
mediafavoriter som Clive Owen och Hugh Jackman ofta nämndes.
Eon har alltid haft traditionen att inte låta Bondskådespelaren få
procent på filmens intäkter. Vinstandelar är något som ibland är
vanligt beträffande andra storfilmer. Eons ovilja att gå med på detta kan
vara orsaken till att flera av de mest kända kandidaterna till Bondrollen
verkade vara måttligt intresserade av den.
3 februari 2005 meddelade Eon att den nya Bondfilmen skulle heta Casino
Royale och baseras på Ian Flemings första Bondbok. Samtidigt blev det
känt att Martin Campbell skulle regissera filmen. Campbell
hade tidigare regisserat GoldenEye 1995.
Campbell var mycket intresserad av att vara med och föryngra Bond. Han
propagerade öppet för att Eon borde välja en helt okänd skådespelare
som ny 007.
Hur skulle då Bond föryngras? Eon gjorde klart att den
nya filmen inte skulle bli en som utspelar sig i en historisk dåtid, men
att vi i filmen ska få se hur Bond formas till en hårdare personlighet och
hur han blir den agent vi känner till. Inledningsvis kommer vi att få se
hur Bond skaffar sig sin 00-status.
Manusförfattare är än en gång Neal Purvis & Robert Wade.
Deras manus har sedan bearbetats av Paul Haggis, Oscarbelönad
2006 för Crash.
Varken Q eller Moneypenny finns med i manuset. Bond kommer inte att ha några
tekniska Q-prylar - inga osynliga bilar alltså. Men Aston Martin bidrar med
nya modellen DBS.
Det har sagts att första tredjedelen av manuset är "original"
medan resten i princip följer Flemings bok. Det är första gången på
flera decennier som en Bondfilm kommer att innehålla stora delar av en
originalintrig av Ian Fleming.
Givetvis måste bokens mer än 50 år gamla intrig moderniseras, men de
grundläggande dragen ska finnas kvar.
I Flemings bok konfronteras 007 med skurken Le Chiffre, och Bonds uppdrag är
att besegra honom i ett stort parti chemin de fer vid Casino Royale,
och därigenom vinna en stor summa pengar av Le Chiffre.
Filmen ska också innehålla en sådan spelsekvens på Casino Royale, men
man har bytt ut chemin de fer mot det idag mer kända spelet poker.
Boken innehåller också en ökänd tortyrscen, då le Chiffre plågar Bond
på ett sällsynt elakt sätt. Den scenen ska vara med i filmmanuset, har
det sagts.

och Caterina Murino (Solange). |
14 oktober 2005 tillkännagavs det att Daniel Craig, 37,
hade fått rollen som James Bond i Casino Royale. Craig anlände
till presskonferensen med båt på Themsen i bästa Bondstil.
Craig hade gradvis seglat fram som en allt tydligare kandidat till rollen när
andra namn föll bort. Ändå sågs valet av honom som en liten överraskning
i media.
Brittiska tidningar var hårda mot Craig redan från första början, innan
någon scen till filmen hade börjat spelas in. Många skribenter hade
kanske svårt att smälta att deras favorit Clive Owen inte skulle bli den
nye 007.
Av kostnadsskäl valde Eon att spela in det mesta av
filmens interiörscener i Barrandov-studion i Prag. Endast ett mindre antal
scener spelas in i brittiska Pinewood.
Inspelningsplatser för Casino Royale var Tjeckien, Italien,
Bahamas och Storbritannien. Sydafrika var länge en planerad
inspelningsplats men landet byttes senare ut mot Bahamas.
Intresset för den nya Bondfilmen och för den nye 007 Daniel Craig är
mycket stort. Det har startats webbkampanjer både för och emot Craig, långt
innan filmen eller ens trailern kommit ut.
I början av maj släppte filmbolaget förhandstrailern till filmen, efter
mycket spekulationer. Den emottogs mycket positivt av fansen.

Martin Campbell that he was ideal for the role of Le Chiffre." [060217]

Eon Productions held a press conference today at Barrandov Studios where
director Martin Campbell announced that Danish actor Mads Mikkelsen (King
Arthur) will play the main villain Le Chiffre, putting to rest at least
one of the Casino Royale casting questions.
As for the more burning question of who will play the Bond girl, Campbell
revealed the choice is now down to "two or three" but added "you'll
just have to wait to find out." Eva Green and Olivia Wilde are reported
to be the finalists.
New James Bond Daniel Craig, perhaps thinking of the frayed nerves caused
by starting the $100 million-plus shoot without a love interest, assured that
the shoot is progressing anyway: "We haven't got there so it's all
fine."
True to form, one journalist from the Czech magazine Spy asked Craig what
he thought of media speculation about his "orientation." After a
moment, Craig responded icily, "I didn't know they had but thanks for the
information."
Another local reporter got off to an interesting start by asking the
assembled group, Craig, Campbell, Judi Dench and producers Michael Wilson and
Barbara Broccoli, if they were aware there was a previous Casino
Royale.

DANIEL CRAIG CAST AS JAMES BOND IN
CASINO ROYALE
The 21st 007 Screen Adventure,
An MGM/Columbia Pictures Co-Production
To Be Directed By Martin Campbell
Columbia Pictures Will Release On November 17, 2006 |
|
Culver City, CA October 14, 2005 – It
was announced today by producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara
Broccoli, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Inc. and Sony Pictures
Entertainment, that DANIEL CRAIG has been cast in the role of
the legendary British secret agent, James Bond, in the highly
anticipated 007 adventure thriller CASINO ROYALE.
CASINO ROYALE reunites Wilson and Broccoli with Martin
Campbell, who directed the 1995 Bond blockbuster GOLDENEYE.
His most recent film, “The Legend of Zorro,” will be
released on October 28, 2005.
CASINO ROYALE will be the 21st James Bond film produced by the
franchise holders, EON Productions. The MGM/Columbia Pictures
production begins shooting in January and is due for release
worldwide on November 17, 2006. It will be filmed in the Czech
Republic, the Bahamas, Italy and the UK.
Neal Purvis and Robert Wade wrote the screenplay based on
famed author Ian Fleming’s first novel. The script is
currently being polished by Academy Award®-nominated writer,
Paul Haggis (“Million Dollar Baby”).
Born in 1968, DANIEL CRAIG was raised on the Wirral nr.
Liverpool. He moved to London to join the National Youth
Theatre at the age 17 and continued his training at the London
Guildhall School of Music and Drama. CRAIG has since become
regarded as one of Britain's finest actors securing a variety
of roles in television, theatre and film.
He is currently filming a thriller alongside Nicole Kidman,
"The Visiting", and has two films in post-production;
Steven Spielberg's "Munich" and Douglas McGrath's
"Every Word Is True", co-starring Sandra Bullock and
Gwyneth Paltrow.
Recent film credits include Sam Mendes' "The Road to
Perdition", "The Mother", "Sylvia",
and last year he received much critical acclaim for Matthew
Vaughn's "Layer Cake" as well as Roger Michell's
"Enduring Love".
Wilson and Broccoli said “It has been a long time ambition
for us to film the first book in the series, CASINO ROYALE,
which defined the complex character of James Bond. We are
thrilled DANIEL CRAIG will play the character of 007. Daniel
is a superb actor who has all the qualities needed to bring a
contemporary edge to the role. CASINO ROYALE will have all the
action, suspense and espionage that our audiences have come to
expect from us but nevertheless takes the franchise in a new
and exciting direction.”
“James Bond is a character without peer in motion picture
history,” said Pascal, Chairman of Sony Pictures
Entertainment Motion Picture Group. “He is a household name
recognized in virtually every corner of the globe and because
of this renown, the casting of the new 007 takes on a special
importance. We believe that in DANIEL CRAIG we have found the
ideal 21st century Bond and we couldn’t be more privileged
to be working with Barbara and Michael, who are tireless
champions and guardians of the James Bond legacy.”
Director Martin Campbell said, “The thing about James Bond
is that each actor who has filled the role has brought his own
style and imprint. With Daniel as our new Bond, I am thrilled
to be returning to shepherd the new 007 in the new Bond
adventure.”
Dan Taylor, President of Metro Goldwyn Mayer Inc, said: “All
of us here at MGM are delighted that Daniel Craig, an actor of
such high-calibre, has been chosen to be the next Bond. We are
also very excited to be working closely with Barbara and
Michael again and with Columbia Pictures on CASINO ROYALE,
which we predict to be the biggest, best Bond ever.”
ABOUT EON PRODUCTIONS
EON Productions is owned by the Broccoli family and is the
most successful film series in history. The most recent
adventure, DIE ANOTHER DAY (2002), was also the highest
grossing film in the franchise bringing in almost $430 million
in worldwide box office receipts. THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH
(1999) grossed $353 million, TOMORROW NEVER DIES released in
1997, grossed more than $340 million around the world and
GOLDENEYE, took in $345 million.
The enduring film franchise created by the late producer,
Albert R. (Cubby) Broccoli, was launched in 1962 with DR. NO
starring Sean Connery, who went on to play James Bond in FROM
RUSSIA WITH LOVE, GOLDFINGER, THUNDERBALL, YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE
and DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER. George Lazenby had one outing as
007, in ON HER MAJESTY’S SECRET SERVICE, before Roger Moore
took over the role in LIVE AND LET DIE, THE MAN WITH THE
GOLDEN GUN, THE SPY WHO LOVED ME, MOONRAKER, FOR YOUR EYES
ONLY, OCTOPUSSY and A VIEW TO A KILL. Timothy Dalton later
inherited the role and played the famed spy in THE LIVING
DAYLIGHTS and LICENCE TO KILL. The most recent James Bond was

GOLDENEYE, TOMORROW NEVER DIES, THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH and
DIE ANOTHER DAY.

Officiellt : Daniel Craig är den nye James Bond
På fredag 14/10 presenterades den sjätte skådespelaren i raden att
spela James Bond i Eons filmserie : Daniel Craig, 37. Craig
har under en tid tillhört de mest nämnda skådespelarna som varit aktuella för
rollen men det var alltså först nu som det hela blev officiellt. Craig anlände
till presskonferensen ombord på HMS President i bästa Bondstil - via racerbåt.
Craig har tecknat ett kontrakt på tre Bondfilmer av vilka 2006 års "Casino
Royale" blir den första.
En kul detalj är att Daniel Craigs mor inte kunde hålla tyst om sonens nya
roll utan avslöjade det hela till lokalbladet Liverpool
Daily News i förväg.

Eon Productions confirm decision on James Bond #6
has not been made yet |
Following the latest wave of tabloid speculation and pre-emptive "confirmation"
on the casting of the sixth James Bond 007, Eon Productions have confirmed
that a decision is yet to be made.
Reuters
reports that the decision on who replaces Pierce Brosnan as the next James
Bond remains a mystery just weeks, possibly days, ahead of an official
announcement.
Who
will play Bond villain Le Chiffre? Might it be Donald Sutherland,
Gulshan Grover, Hrithik Roshan, or Gunnar Schäfer... or one of the other
twelve choices?
Screenwriter Paul Haggis speaks of James Bond Begins concept for Casino
Royale
Oscar-nominated screenwriter Paul Haggis, who joined Casino Royale production
last month to polish the script, has spoken briefly to the Hollywood
Reporter about his work on the film and the prospect of a younger James
Bond 007.
The trade paper said that whilst in Toronto, "Haggis returned to his
hotel room to work on his polish of the 21st James Bond film, "Casino
Royale." "It's going to be good," he says. "We're trying
to reinvent Bond. He's 28: no Q, no gadgets."
This confirms earlier
reports that the producers and director Martin Campbell wanted
"Casino Royale" to follow a "Bond Begins" concept, much
like the recently rejuvenated Batman franchise.
Long-term Bond fans may recall that Michael G. Wilson wanted to take 007 back
to his early career after Roger Moore's tenure as Bond was over in 1985, but
producer Cubby Broccoli decided to stick with the tried and tested formula and
hired Timothy Dalton to star in "The Living Daylights". Twenty years
on and now a co-producer, Wilson is trying out the concept again.
This clashes with the studio, who want Pierce Brosnan to return for a fifth
time and a guaranteed box-office success. Sony
have asked Brosnan to come back, but the four-times 007 said that the
invitation has to come from the producers.
The search for an actor to play a younger Bond is proving difficult, with
neither party finding common ground on any of the contenders. With the start
date of principal photography looming in January, a decision one way or
another is needed soon to avoid a significant delay in production.
Todays News!! 14/9
Location for production of Casino Royale - the 21st James Bond film - would be
heading to an island of the east coast of the USA.
Today can reveal more information on the precise location. Scouting is
taking place on various islands in the Caribbean by director Michael Campbell
- now working on the film full time after completing work on "Legend Of
Zorro".
A major filming location is expected to be based in Bermuda.
The Bahamas has been a popular place for 007, first with Ian Fleming's novels,
and then with the filming of "Thunderball", "The Spy Who Loved
Me", "For Your Eyes Only" and "Licence To Kill".
Nearby Cuba has been used as a location in two Pierce Brosnan films, "GoldenEye"
and "Die Anoher Day".
Pre-production is still on schedule despite the shift from the planned
location of South Africa and the lack of an official announcement on the
casting of 007.
Pierce Brosnan Set For

Expecting someone else? As the saying goes in
Bond-lore, "never say never"!
The turf war over the casting of
James Bond for the forthcoming movie "Casino Royale" is
about to end. If the trade press reports are anything to go by, Sony,
who took over MGM earlier in the year, have been turning down
candidates for the "vacant" 007 role proposed by the
producers right, left and centre.
The casting of 007 is down to four
people: Amy Pascal (Sony), Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli (Eon
Productions producers), and Martin Campbell (director of "Casino
Royale"). Each party have had their favourites, and due to the
much reported failure to find a suitable replacement by the producers,
despite their wide reaching casting calls, Sony has come to the
inevitable conclusion: if it's not broke, don't fix it.

Casino Royale - 31-08-05
James Bond writer Robert Wade explains the Casino Royale screenplay
situation - Paul Haggis only to polish not rewrite |
The screenwriting team behind the new James Bond feature have confirmed that
Oscar-nominated screenwriter Paul Haggis has been brought on board - reports ScreenDaily.
Robert Wade told ScreenDaily.com that Haggis, who adapted Million Dollar Baby
as well as writing and directing Crash, will do a three-week polish on the
second draft of Sony/MGM's Casino Royale, originally penned by himself and
co-writer Neal Purvis.
The following is a press release from EON Productions confirming that the
title for James Bond's 21st aventure is Casino Royale, that it will
be released in 2006, and that GoldenEye director Martin Campbell will
return for the film.
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.
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'.
From those at CBn, a description
of the history of the 1954 novel-turned movie:
Casino Royale was first adapted in 1954 as a one-hour TV teleplay by CBS
with American Barry Nelson playing the screen's first 007. Because Fleming had
already sold the film rights to his first James Bond novel, Casino Royale was
not part of the 1961 Cubby Broccoli/Harry Saltzman film rights purchase deal
that was the foundation of the James Bond/Eon Productions franchise.
The rights passed from hand to hand until Charles K. Feldman announced
he’d produce a rival Bond film to the Eon series. But this was at the height
of Bondmania, and Feldman decided he couldn’t compete with Sean Connery, so
in 1967 he and Columbia Pictures turned Casino Royale into a farce comedy
starring David Niven and Peter Sellers. (Kaleidoscope, an excellent thriller
made in 1966, used plot elements so strikingly similar to Casino Royale that
it could almost be called an unofficial adaptation.)
Fast forward to the late 1990s when Sony (who acquired the Casino rights
when they purchased Columbia Pictures) locked horns with MGM over disputed
rights to the Bond film Thunderball. The settlement in favour of MGM not only
returned the Thunderball rights to Eon, but Sony also surrendered their
long-held rights to Casino Royale. This alowed Eon to finally adapt this first
Fleming novel.
The original James Bond girl Ursula Andress has beaten
modern pin-ups like Kelly Brook, Elle MacPherson and Angelina Jolie to top a
poll of 100 beach beauties.
Ursula is best known for sexily emerging from the sea in 1962 Bond film
"Dr No" – and is still loved by men more than 40 years later.
Sun-kissed Celebrity Love Island presenter Kelly Brook and Elle 'the body'
MacPherson followed closely behind Ursula, proving the combination of feminine
curves and classic beauty add up to a perfect summer stunner - reports The
Sun.
Modern day Bond girl Halle Berry’s recent remake of the Ursula Andress scene
in Die Another Day helped her into fourth position.
In the vote, the judges seemed to favour a natural and classic beach look -
shown by the fact that surgically-enhanced Pamela Anderson did not make it
into the Top 20.
Here’s the Top 20 winners in full:
1. Ursula Andress
2. Kelly Brook
3. Elle MacPherson
4. Halle Berry
5. Gisele
6. Cameron Diaz
7. Charlotte Church
8. Bridget Bardot
9. Angelina Jolie
10. Coleen McLoughlin
11. Bo Derek
12. Heidi Klum
13. Jennifer Anniston
14. Sienna Miller
15. Gwyneth Paltrow

Bookmakers slash odds on Clive Owen becoming James
Bond 007 #6 18/1-2005 |
Bookmakers Tuesday halved the odds on Clive Owen becoming the next James Bond
after he won a Golden Globe award for his role in the sex drama
"Closer" - reports Reuters.
Bookmaker William Hill also made Owen 6-4 favorite to land the Oscar for Best
Supporting Actor for Closer at next month's Hollywood ceremony.
"Since winning the Golden Globe, we have had a succession of calls from
punters who think he would make an excellent Bond," said a spokesman.
Owen is now priced at 4-1 from 8-1.
But "Van Helsing" actor Hugh Jackman is still 2-1 favorite to take
over from Pierce Brosnan and land the coveted role of the world's most famous
spy. Second favorite at 7-2 is Ewan McGregor.
Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bundchen says she`s not
James Bond girl material despite rumours |
Gisele Bundchen may be a leggy Brazilian supermodel, but she's no James Bond
girl. Actually, she's says she's kind of dull - reports NineMSN.
Bundchen denied rumours she'd been invited to play the love interest in the
next James Bond film, following an appearance at Rio Fashion, a weeklong
fashion event that showcases the autumn/winter collections of local designers.
"I never received that invitation (for the Bond film). You know what
happens? I'm a very boring person. I work a lot, I go from home from work, I
eat dinner, sleep. I don't take drugs, I'm not scandalous. So people have to
start inventing things about me to publish in the columns," Bundchen told
reporters during a brief press conference following the fashion show late on
Friday night.
Bundchen also said she plans to promote events in New York next month to raise
money for tsunami victims in Asia. She said she will organise a charity
bowling event, and will ask fellow models to donate clothes for an auction.
"I'm concerned with social causes," she was quoted by the Estado
news agency. "I will donate a lot of money."
It was Bundchen's first appearance at Rio Fashion, an event that she had
passed over for years preferring instead to parade in Sao Paulo, where the
fashion industry is more established and the designers are considered more
serious.
Bundchen, who paraded for the Brazilian label Colcci, did leave open the
possibility of participating in other film projects.
"I've read some scripts, but nothing is certain in the film industry. I
don't want to be a professional actress, but I like to experiment," she
said.
While visiting Rio, Bundchen taped a brief appearance in one of the local
telenovelas.
