As production continues on the 21st James Bond film, Casino Royale, the official website has been updated with a new video.

The video, ‘Directing Bond,’ covers the massive amounts of work that Martin Campbell, director of Casino Royale, must put into the film. It features small interviews with Michael G. Wilson, Daniel Craig, Eva Green, Dame Judi Dench, and Martin Campbell himself. Also included are scenes from the film such as the poker table, Vesper Lynd and Bond kissing, and even a blooper from Dame Judi.

‘We’re in the middle of the film…the trouble with being in the middle area of the film is that you’re not really far enough along to see the end in sight. It’s a time where stamina counts and Martin [Campbell] has plenty of it…’ says producer Michael G. Wilson. The video can be accessed at the official website, click on the left card on the main menu and then ‘Video.’
