Green & Wright Join Casino Royale!
Source: MGM, Sony Pictures February 16, 2006
It was announced today by producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara
Broccoli, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios, Inc, and Sony Pictures
Entertainment that Eva Green has been cast to play the enticing Vesper
Lynd opposite Daniel Craig in his debut appearance as James Bond in the
highly anticipated 007 adventure thriller, Casino Royale.
It was also announced that Jeffrey Wright has joined the cast as Felix
Leiter. Yesterday, the studio confirmed that renowned Danish-born actor
Mads Mikkelsen has accepted the role of Le Chiffre, Bond's nemesis in
the film and
Casino Royale reunites Wilson and Broccoli with Martin Campbell, who
directed the 1995 blockbuster GoldenEye, and will be the 21st James
Bond film produced by the franchise holders, EON Productions. The
MGM/Columbia Pictures production began shooting in January this year
and will be released worldwide on November 17. It will be filmed on
location in the Czech Republic, the Bahamas, Italy and the UK.
Wilson and Broccoli said, "We are thrilled that Eva and Mads have
joined the cast of 'Casino Royale' completing a first rate
international cast. They bring exceptional talent to the characters Ian
Fleming described so vividly in his first James Bond novel.
After an extensive search we have found the perfect actress. Eva is one
of France's most accomplished young actresses, now receiving
international acclaim. She brings to the complex role of Vesper an
exciting combination of enigmatic and seductive beauty.
Likewise Mads has such a compelling onscreen presence and his riveting
performances in 'Open Hearts' and 'Adam's Apples' convinced both us and
director Martin Campbell that he was ideal for the role of Le Chiffre."
