The Cinema and Television Benevolent Fund is pleased to announce that âCasino Royaleâ is the chosen film for the 60th Royal Film Performanceâ¢, taking place on Tuesday 14th November 2006 at the Odeon Leicester Square, London.
2006 marks the 60th Anniversary of The Royal Film Performance⢠and all funds raised from the World Premiere will go to the Cinema & Television Benevolent Fund (CTBF), the unique trade charity of the film and television industries.
âCasino Royaleâ is based on Ian Flemingâs novel of the same name. Published in 1953, it was the first book in his âJames Bondâ series. âCasino Royaleâ is produced by Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli and will mark the introduction of Daniel Craig as the legendary secret agent, 007. Martin Campbell directs the EON Productions film which is a Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures / Columbia Pictures release and will be distributed in the UK by Sony Pictures Releasing International.
On the 14th November, the CTBF will also stage an exclusive near simultaneous screening of the latest Bond film, at Londonâs Odeon West End cinema and, a late night screening, in the Odeon Leicester Square. Regional Premieres will be staged 24 hours later in Glasgow, Newcastle, Birmingham, Leeds and Plymouth (details of further regional premieres will be released shortly).
Stan Fishman, President of the CTBF expressed his delight that this yearâs film will be âCasino Royaleâ. âMarking the CTBFâs 60th Anniversary of The Royal Film Performanceâ¢, it is tremendous that âCasino Royaleâ, the most anticipated film of the year, has been chosen as this yearâs film. I am grateful to EON Productions, Sony Pictures and MGM. With their help we are going to make the World Premiere of âCasino Royaleâ a remarkable fundraiser for the CTBF. This will help us continue our lifeline of support for people behind the scenes in the world of film, television and cinema.â
