James Bond 007: Quantum of Consolation

James Bond 007: Casino Royale (Original title: Casino Royale ) is a British - American agent thriller based on Ian Fleming and the 21st part of the James Bond film series by Eon Productions . Based on the first James Bond novel of the same name , the well-known character is re-introduced as a former SAS soldier, who is assigned to the terrorist financier Le Chiffre. Plot threads from this film like a - here still nameless - terror organization around the mysterious “Mr. White “and the tragic love for Vesper Lynd are prominently taken up again and again in the four direct successors.

Under the direction of New Zealander Martin Campbell , Daniel Craig embodies the English super spy for the first time in Casino Royale, making him the sixth official Bond actor after Sean Connery , George Lazenby , Roger Moore , Timothy Dalton and Pierce Brosnan . Campbell previously staged Brosnan's debut GoldenEye . The film had its world premiere in London on November 14, 2006 and opened nine days later in German cinemas. It is counted among the best films of 2006 as well as the entire Bond series and set new box office records for them.

action

MI6 - Agent James Bond confronts a traitorous section head and liquidates him and his contact. As a result, Bond receives his 00 license.

A senior officer in the Lord's Resistance Army , Steven Obanno, entrusts a large sum of money to the terrorist banker Le Chiffre. This is done with the mediation of Mr. White, the representative of an international terror network . Le Chiffre hires the middleman Alex Dimitrios, who in turn recruits the assassin Mollaka. In Madagascar Bond shaded latter. A chase breaks out through a slum and over a construction site to a video-monitored embassy site, where Bond finally kills Mollaka against his assignment. As a result of the international headlines, Bond's boss M is upset and pulls him off the case.

Via a short message , Bond can follow the trail to Dimitrios in the Bahamas , whom he shadowed as far as Miami and ultimately kills. At the airport there, Bond succeeds at the last second in preventing an attack on a prototype aircraft. Le Chiffre had Obannos inlay on the stock market by short selling on the loss of the prototype set and now lost everything Bonds intervention.

In the Grand Hotel Pupp in Karlovy Vary (Czech Republic) stay Vesper Lynd and James Bond. The eponymous casino in the film is located in the opposite Kaiserbad.

In order to recover the money, Le Chiffre is forced in the Casino Royale in Montenegro in a Texas Hold'em - poker tournament to play for high stakes. When MI6 learns of this, M assigns her best player Bond to thwart Le Ciphree's plan. On the train ride, Bond meets Vesper Lynd from the Treasury , who manages his operations and is initially critical of him. You will receive on-site support from Agent René Mathis. Bond then enters into an intimate relationship with Vesper .

During a break from the tournament, Le Chiffre is intercepted and threatened by Obanno in his hotel room. When the latter leaves the room with his henchmen, they recognize Bond, who is forced to take them out and strangle Obanno. Back in poker, Bond loses a large sum after bluffing Le Chiffres. Lynd, as the state treasurer, is unwilling to provide him with further capital. When Bond makes the decision to kill Le Chiffre, tournament opponent Felix Leiter approaches him. He identifies himself as a CIA employee and makes all his efforts available to Bond in return for access to Le Chiffre.

At the bar, Le Chiffres friend Valenka puts Bonds cocktail with Digitalis . Mortally poisoned , Bond drags himself to his Aston Martin and administers an antidote. Before he collapses, he can still put on a mobile defibrillator , which Vesper activates at the last second. To Le Ciffre's surprise, Bond returns to the table and eventually wins $ 115 million with a straight flush on the final hand. In retaliation, Le Chiffre has Vesper kidnapped before Bond's eyes. The breakneck pursuit ends abruptly when Bond sees Vesper tied up on the road. When he dodges his car overturns and he loses consciousness.

Bond wakes up as prisoner Le Chiffres, who reveals that Mathis was a double agent who betrayed Bond. Le Chiffre then forces the naked Bond onto a chair with the seat removed, where he tortures him by beating him on the testicles with a knotted rope . Despite this, Bond refuses to access the tournament and Le Chiffre finally decides to kill him. But then Mr. White appears and shoots Le Chiffre for his failure, but spares Bond and Vesper.

The Villa del Balbianello , location of the sanatorium

They both recover from torture in a seaside resort. Bond transfers the prize money to an account that Vesper gives him. Bond is ready to quit his job for a common future. He sends his notice of termination to M via email in order to travel the world with Vesper and enjoy life.

In Venice , Vesper leaves the hotel room alone. Meanwhile, Bond learns that the profit has never been deposited into the Treasury's account and is instead being withdrawn at the local branch. He follows Vesper, who wants to hand over the suitcase to a one-eyed stranger. Bond can take out the armed men behind it, but Vesper apologizes to Bond and locks himself in a barred elevator, which sinks together with the house in the Grand Canal . Bond can bring her to the surface, but he can no longer prevent her death. From M he learns that Vesper's betrayal was blackmailed with the kidnapping of her Algerian friend.

Bond can trace the money to Mr. White on Lake Como via a tip on Vesper's cellphone . He shoots him in the thigh and introduces himself completely for the first time: “My name is Bond. James Bond."

The German dubbing was done at Interopa Film in Berlin . The dialogue book was written by Frank Schaff , who also directed the dubbing . Dietmar Wunder was cast on Daniel Craig's James Bond , who then established himself as the regular speaker for Craig. The German-speaking actors dubbed their roles themselves throughout. In the English original, Vesper Lynd was given the code name “Stephanie Broadchest” in Montenegro (from English broad , “wide- space” and chest “breast”); in the German dubbing her name was changed to "Stephanie Brustwartz".

background

Pre-production

Shortly after the publication of the novel Casino Royale , author Ian Fleming sold the filming rights to the American television station CBS , which wrote the story for an episode of the series Climax! used with Barry Nelson in the lead role. For this reason, the rights were no longer available when Albert R. Broccoli and Harry Saltzman with their production company Eon Productions led the James Bond films to global success almost a decade later. In competition with this, the CBS parent company Columbia Pictures turned the material into a parody with David Niven as a James Bond in 1967 . In 1999, Sony , to which the rights to the novel had now been transferred, and Bond studio MGM swapped the licenses for Spider-Man and Casino Royale so that the material could be integrated into the Eon series.

Cult director Quentin Tarantino first showed interest in a remake in 2004 . In collaboration with the Fleming family, he planned to set the story in the 1960s with the still current Bond Pierce Brosnan and his favorite actress Uma Thurman as a playmate. But this approach found no response from rights holder Eon. Although Brosnan publicly expressed interest in re-appearing as 007, his contract was not renewed shortly before and the search for a new lead actor began. While Brosnan said he was too old for the producers, Eon cited the actor's excessive fee claims. Ultimately, both sides wanted to prevent a loss of credibility, as the then 58-year-old Roger Moore had to accept at the end of his time as James Bond.

After the predecessor Die Another Day had been criticized many times for its exaggerated computer effects, the producers thought back to Fleming's fictional character and finally chose his debut Casino Royale as a template. According to the book as the beginning of the James Bond series, the film as the first case of the 00 agent James Bond represents a new beginning. In particular, the plot was taken into the script as true to the novel as it is only in the Bond films With Love from Moscow , In Her Majesty's Secret Service and In Deadly Mission, which was created from the combination of various short stories . Especially in the latter two this happened just in deliberate contrast to the extremely exaggerated predecessors You Only Live Twice and the science fiction -haften Moonraker . Meanwhile, the Bourne series was also successful with realistic action , while other franchises made a complete fresh start with films like Batman Begins . This finally convinced film distribution Sony to take this new direction with Bond instead of forcing mass suitability through an increasingly excessive spectacle. Accordingly, the film was often referred to as "Bond Begins".

Martin Campbell was entrusted with the introduction of a new bond for the second time after Pierce Brosnan's successful GoldenEye , as announced in February 2005 together with the film title. Over 200 actors were considered for the secret agent, including the Australians Karl Urban , Sam Worthington and Hugh Jackman, and the English Henry Cavill . With his leading roles in the gangster film Layer Cake and as a Mossad agent in Munich , Daniel Craig recommended himself to the producers as the new "007", which was well received by the public. Although initially hesitant, the script was able to convince Craig of the role and so he was finally presented to the public as the new James Bond actor on October 14, 2005. His choice was controversial because his appearance contradicted the dark-haired Playboy , as Bond had previously been portrayed. His lack of experience in glossy productions was also held against him, as he had previously been seen mainly in more intimate dramas. All of this led to headlines like "James Blond" or "James Bland" ( English bland 'boring' ).

The task arose of establishing a critically eyed new Bond actor as the successor to a fan favorite. Many stylistic devices were used for this, thanks to which Her Majesty's Secret Service is one of the most popular films in the series. With direct recourse to a novel by Fleming, the main actor in particular was given a lot of space to redraw the title character independently and as nuanced as possible. In particular, both films tell (in contrast to the rest of the series) of a James Bond who wants to leave his agent existence behind in love, but his girlfriend dies tragically. The unusual drama is also reflected both times in a running length of 140 minutes each - well above the 120 minutes of the previous James Bond films. Even the music in the opening credits is comparable and in particular dispenses with the otherwise common naming of the film title; John Barry wrote an instrumental titled On Her Majesty's Secret Service , while Chris Cornell's You Know My Name has no reference to the film title.

Well-known German actors were again cast in this James Bond film: Ludger Pistor , best known for the series Balko , plays the Basel banker Mendel, who hands over the poker winnings. Jürgen Tarrach appears as Schultz in the Bahamas. Moreover, it is Clemens Schick seen as Le Chiffre's henchmen Kratt. The German 1960s model Veruschka also appears in an extra role . The Swiss actor and ex- rapper Carlos Leal embodies the Chef de Partie of Casino Royale. Richard also plays the terrorist Adolph Gettler.

Filming

The Grandhotel Pupp, Karlovy Vary
Daniel Craig and Michael G. Wilson during filming in Venice

Filming began on 30 January 2006 with a budget of around 150 million dollars and was completed on July 21 of 2006. The film is a joint production by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer , Columbia Pictures , Danjaq Productions, Stillking Films, Studio Babelsberg , Eon Productions and United Artists distributed by Sony Pictures Entertainment . In addition to England , the film was shot in the Bahamas , the Czech Republic and Italy ; The following locations were used in detail:

Producer Michael G. Wilson has another guest appearance , this time as the corrupt police chief in Montenegro. In the film, Bond visits the exhibition "Body Worlds" (German title: Body Worlds ). The initiator of this traveling exhibition of plastinated bodies, Gunther von Hagens , can be seen in the film himself for brief moments: on an advertising poster and how he guides visitors through the exhibition.

The spectacular chase in Madagascar shows the recently developed extreme sport of freerunning . Bond's opponent Mollaka is played by the freerunning inventor Sébastien Foucan himself. The scene in which an old Venetian palazzo slowly collapses in the finale was not created through computer animation, but with a dummy on a scale of 1: 3 electronically controlled from the inside.

The aircraft shown as a “Skyfleet” prototype is a Boeing 747-236B with the registration number G-BDXJ at the time, which was previously flown for example by British Airways . The aircraft has been slightly modified for close-up photography. For example, dummy fuel tanks were mounted on the outer engine pylons and a General Electric GEnx- style engine pair on the inner one . A 20-meter-long model was used for close-up shots of the aircraft, which has the basic proportions of a Boeing 747, but the optics of the cockpit and upper deck have been significantly changed. The license number of the machine in the film is N88892. The Boeing is still on the grounds of Dunsfold Airport (EGTD), known from the Top Gear productions of BBC Two , the model is currently on display in the Bond in Motion exhibition at the National Motor Museum in Beaulieu (Hampshire) .

Aston Martin's new DBS as Bond drives it in the movie
Bond's classic Aston Martin DB5 from Goldfinger

In the film, James Bond drives two new car models, neither of which were on the market when the film was released: the 2007 Ford Mondeo and the Aston Martin DBS . The latter only existed as a draft during the film production, which is why some copies of the Aston Martin DB9 had to be converted by hand to represent the DBS. In the film, the vehicle is also equipped with several drawers and a soundproofed Walther P99 , an antidote ampoule kit and an automated external defibrillator ( AED ). The scene in which the DBS overturns seven times in pursuit of Le Chiffre was nominated for the Taurus World Stunt Award in the "Vehicle Stunt " category in 2007 and also recognized as a world record by the Guinness Book of World Records . In an earlier scene in the Bahamas, Bond wins the closely related Aston Martin DB5 from 1964 in a poker game against Dimitrios. This car has been featured in many more Bond films since Goldfinger .

In addition to these and other vehicles from the Ford group such as the Range Rover Sport or Jaguar models, other product placement takes place in Casino Royale - a practice since the first Bond film. Bond himself uses several Omega wristwatches (Seamaster Planet Ocean and later Omega Seamaster 300 M), which he also mentions in the film, as well as a UMP with a silencer , with which he shoots Mr. White in the leg in the final scene. There are further New Holland -Baumaschinen, Adobe Photoshop or the airline Virgin Atlantic Airways prominently featured. Virgin founder Richard Branson himself made a cameo at the airport security checkpoint .

In addition to its distribution through Sony Pictures Entertainment , Sony also used the film to present its own products. So Bond has a modified Sony Ericsson K800i , which is also in a Casino Royale Edition was sold, and a Vaio - subnotebook . (Model "Vaio SZ" 13.3 ") Vesper Lynd in turn uses the Sony Ericsson M600 and a Sony digital camera. Mathis ( Sony Ericsson K700i ) and Dimitrios ( Sony Ericsson K750i ) also use Sony Ericsson cell phones just like the “fake policeman” at the airport with a Walkman model. The video recordings in the club are on Blu-ray discs , the Bond with one Sony Blu-ray player is playing, and the banker's monitors are Sony SDM-HS95PRS.

Editing & music

A few scenes of torture were not included in the film in order not to endanger the target rating BBFC 12A , i.e. for 12-year-olds accompanied by an adult. In Germany, the film is released "from 12 years". In the director's opinion, the film contains the toughest scenes ever to be seen in a Bond film.

The title track You Know My Name is sung by Soundgarden and Audioslave front man Chris Cornell and is not on the official film music CD for the first time. Instead, the song became part of Cornell's second solo album, Carry On , in 2007 , as Cornell considered it his property. In addition, the film version of the title song is different from the version on the maxi CD . The soundtrack was released on Sony Music in 2006 as a normal audio CD and, as the first in the film series, also as a music download .

Release & continuation

After the world premiere on November 14, 2006 in London , the film opened in British cinemas on November 16, 2006 and the day after in US cinemas . Casino Royale grossed £ 1.7m at the UK box office on day one, increasing to £ 13.37m by the end of the first weekend. Just a week later - before the German theatrical release on November 23, 2006 - the film raised 82.2 million US dollars. In the UK, this was the best-ever theatrical release of a Bond film. At $ 25.6 million, he's 46 percent better off than his predecessor and previous record holder. Die Another Day .

In Russia was Casino Royale the most successful theatrical release of a non-Russian film. The same applies to other countries, including India . Casino Royale is also the first Bond film to be released in Chinese cinemas. His predecessors were always denied this because of the sex and violence scenes contained in the films and they are only available as illegal copies on DVD . By the end of 2012, the film grossed $ 599 million worldwide.

The first DVD version was released in 2007 in a standard version as well as with a bonus DVD and five postcards. Casino Royale was also released on Blu-ray Disc as the first Bond film . A new version followed in 2012 for the 50th anniversary of the film series. Casino Royale ran for the first time on German free TV on October 25, 2009 at 8:15 p.m. on ProSieben .

Due to the great financial success, work on a follow-up film was immediately started. This came into the cinemas two years later as A Quantum of Consolation and continues the plot immediately instead of - as was usual in the film series up to now - telling an independent, new story. For this reason, the video game for the film took up the events of Casino Royale again.

reception

The film was received very favorably. 95 percent of 220 reviews recorded on Rotten Tomatoes were positive (as of December 2012). This gave him the best rate in his year of publication.

Daniel Craig was given special praise for his portrayal, according to Andreas Borcholte from Spiegel , Craig managed to " exude that virile , brutally animalistic quality that Sean Connery had in his first appearances as Bond". For Paul Arendt of the BBC , Craig is also the embodiment of 007 as Ian Fleming created it: a "bastard". He described the title song by Chris Cornell as an embarrassment.

Other reviewers hailed Casino Royale as the best Bond since Sean Connery left. In particular, the renunciation of some of the James Bond typical clichés and supporting characters such as Miss Moneypenny, Q or their technical gadgets, which have long been believed to be indispensable, contribute considerably to the purification and modernization of the series.

Tim Adams from the Observer criticized the filmmakers' insecurity; when trying to make the film rougher and closer to reality, everything else around it has become more artificial. The sequence in which Bond is freed from torture has slipped into the comic.

“Fast-paced film adaptation of Ian Fleming's first James Bond novel, which is quite rough in details, which is characterized by emphatic physicality and artistic pieces. Daniel Craig takes the snobbish elegance of the 'new' Bond, but gives him reckless sportiness and a psychologically interesting unpredictability. "

- Lexicon of international film

“With tough action sequences and a brutally chilled atmosphere, 'Goldeneye' director Martin Campbell managed an adrenaline-pumping revival of the popular MI6 agent, who recently mutated more and more into a highly armed comic hero. Because for the first time in his career as an agent, 007 was endowed with an ambivalent personality, which is characterized by emotional abysses, doubts and increasing numbness. [...] Alone the end with the somewhat too extensive love story between Bond and his colleague Vesper Lynd (Eva Green) and a second, comparatively unspectacular showdown seems unnecessarily protracted and slows down the rapid terrorist hunt a little. Nevertheless: This 007 is the toughest and most believable since " From Moscow with love ". "

- Cinema

"Martin Campbell's tough agent-action thriller 'Casino Royale' exceeds the high expectations and shines with - against all speculation - an excellent cast Daniel Craig in the double-zero role. The rough reorientation of the franchise was more than successful. "

Selected awards

Remarks

  • In the film, Bond drinks martinis on several occasions , always garnished with a lemon zest . He orders it according to the original recipe from Fleming's novel: “With three parts of Gordon's, one part of vodka, a shot of Kina- Lillet ; shake it with ice and add a strip of lemon zest. ”Unlike in the book, Bond refrains from ordering the drink in a champagne flute, instead it is served in a classic martini glass. In Casino Royale , Bond does not himself use the phrase "shaken, not stirred", so familiar from earlier Bond films . When Bond loses his stake of ten million US dollars , he is angry; During a break he orders a dry martini from another waiter and is asked "Shaken or stirred?" to which Bond replies: "Do I look as though I care?"
  • As in the novel, Quartermaster “Q” does not appear in the film. Miss Moneypenny made a brief appearance in the book but was not included in the film. However, there is an allusion to her name in the first appearance of Vesper, when she introduces herself with “I'm the money ” and Bond replies: “Every penny worth of it” (German: And worth every penny ) The film is thus the first without moneypenny and after Life and Let Die only the second without an appearance by Q.
  • At the beginning of the film, James Bond shoots the assassin Mollaka in the embassy of the fictional African country Nambutu. The associated national flag on the embassy building is a cross between the national flags of Djibouti and Mozambique .
  • When Bond is asked to enter a password for his account, it can be clearly seen that he was the last to press the digits 4 and 7. However, since the password is “VESPER”, he should actually press 3 and 7, because the 4 corresponds to the letters “g”, “h”, “i” - Vesper corrects this by pressing 3 and 7. This also results in a connection error .
  • Further inaccuracies in the details result from the somewhat curious looking Czech lettering on some houses and signs in scenes that take place in Montenegro (but were shot in the Czech Republic).
