On this day 20 years ago, the first teaser trailer for CASINO ROYALE was released.
This was the world’s first look at Daniel Craig as the sixth actor to play James Bond.
Amazon MGM Studios have announced that Amy Pascal and David Heyman will produce the upcoming James Bond film.
“James Bond is one of the most iconic characters in the history of cinema,” said Amy Pascal and David Heyman.
“We are humbled to follow in the footsteps of Barbara Broccoli and Michael Wilson who made so many extraordinary films and honoured and excited to keep the spirit of Bond very much alive as he embarks on his next adventure.”
On this day in 1962, Sean Connery and Ursula Andress filmed their first scene together for DR NO in Jamaica. The scene was actually the final scene of the film, Bond and Honey Ryder escape Dr No’s Island in a small boat. The kiss at the very end was shot later at Pinewood Studios.
