Here
is
the
21st
Bond
flick
in
a
long
row
of
Bond
movies,
and
the
first
to
star
Daniel
Craig
as
the
slick
secret
service
agent
James
Bond.
Based
on
the
1953
novel
and
the
1967
movie
Casino
Royale,
the
latest
version
has
been
adapted
by
Academy
Award
winning
writer
Paul
Haggis,
Neal
Purvis
and
Robert
Wade.
Martin
Flick
who
directed
the
1995
Bond
film,
Golden
Eye
is
directing
this
movie.
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;
this
is
the
result
of
the
2005
Sony/Comcast
consortium's
acquisition
of
Bond
film
series
rights
co-owner
United
Artists.
Casino
Royale
goes
back
in
time
and
introduces
Bond
before
he
holds
a
license
to
kill.
Bond
is
quickly
promoted
to
'00'
status
after
two
professional
kills
in
rapid
succession.
The
novice
is
reckless
and
rash
and
he
is
sent
on
his
first
mission
to
Madagascar
to
track
a
terrorist,
Mollaka
(Sebastian
Foucan).
Not
everything
goes
to
plan
and
Bond
decides
to
investigate,
independently
of
MI6,
in
order
to
track
down
the
rest
of
the
terrorist
cell.
Following
a
lead
to
the
Bahamas,
he
encounters
Dimitrios
(Simon
Abkarian)
and
his
girlfriend,
Solange
(Caterina
Murino).
He
learns
that
Dimitrios
is
involved
with
Le
Chiffre
(Mads
Mikkelsen),
banker
to
the
world's
terrorist
organizations.
Secret
Service
intelligence
reveals
that
Le
Chiffre
is
planning
to
raise
money
in
a
high-stakes
poker
game
in
Montenegro
at
Le
Casino
Royale.
MI6
assigns
007
to
play
against
him,
knowing
that
if
Le
Chiffre
loses,
it
will
destroy
his
organisation.
'M'
(Judi
Dench)
places
Bond
under
the
watchful
eye
of
the
beguiling
Vesper
Lynd
(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.
