[glow=red,2,300]'Casino Royale' Release Date Announced ...
[/glow]
"Casino Royale", the 21st James Bond film, has been given a tentative release date of November 17th 2006 by MGM.
The news broke in an article by trade paper The Hollywood Reporter on the current state of the Sony lead consortium takeover of MGM.
The piece said, "While development at MGM has slowed considerably in recent months, a handful of productions -- all well into preproduction -- are moving ahead as planned. At the top of the list is the next installment of the James Bond franchise, "Casino Royale," which Martin Campbell is set to direct but has not been cast, though it is tentatively set for release Nov. 17, 2006."
Dame Judi Dench, who has played M in the last four 007 outings, said last month that she expects filming for "Casino Royale" to start in January or February 2006.
Casting
No casting decisions may have been officially finalised, but casting agents working for the production have been active in Los Angeles in the past couple of months and have met with several actors, including the Bollywood legend Gulshan Grover who, although not officially offered a part yet, says he had several meetings with the "Casino Royale" casting agents Janet Hirshenson and Jane Jenkins
