Synopsis
CASINO ROYALE is based on Ian Fleming's novel of the same name.
Published in 1953, it was the first book in his James Bond series.
EON Productions' Casino Royale produced by Michael G. Wilson and
Barbara Broccoli will mark the introduction of Daniel Craig as
legendary secret agent, 007. Martin Campbell is directing this
film, the 21st in the 44 year franchise.
Casino Royale introduces JAMES BOND before he holds his license
to kill. But Bond is no less dangerous, and with two professional
assassinations in quick succession, he is elevated to "00"
status.

Murino.
Bond's first 007 mission takes him to Madagascar where
he is to spy on a terrorist, MOLLAKA (Sebastien 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 is Le Chiffre loses, it will destroy his organisation.
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.
