The film was also directed by Martin Campbell, who had also helmed Pierce Brosnan's debut Bond film, GoldenEye.
Casino Royale is the official EON adaptation of Ian Fleming's very first James Bond novel, which had previously been adapted in a 1967 feature film and a 1954 US television film. Casino Royale disposes of the silliness and gadgetry that plagued recent James Bond outings, and Daniel Craig delivers what fans and critics have been waiting for: a caustic, haunted, intense. The 2006 film, which rebooted the series, follows Bond (recently promoted to '00' status) as he is assigned a mission to participate in a high stakes poker game involving a banker who launders money for terrorist organizations.
