Casino Royale To Feature Only Eight Marketing Partners

News has recently come to light about the marketing partners to feature in the 21st James Bond film, Casino Royale.

According to USA Today, only eight companies will be apart of the global marketing campaign by Sony. In comparison, Die Another Day featured around 20.

The reason for this change, according to Mary Goss Robino, senior vice president, global marketing partnerships is ‘by choice… We work hand-in-hand with them to make sure everything fits with the brand and the character James Bond.’ Mitch Litvak, CEO of The L.A. Office (a company connecting studios and marketers) says: ‘there’s a point where there are too many partners, but the studios are much more proactive about making sure they don’t overdo it, especially for something with as much caliber as Bond.’

Smirnoff Vodka is one of the brands that will be featured in Casino Royale. ‘The James Bond and Smirnoff brands have gone hand in hand for more than 40 years, and throughout our rich history together, we have both remained true to our roots — clearly original… today, Bond is as much a part of Smirnoff’s history as Smirnoff is of Bond’s — and we’re delighted to be part of this latest chapter,’ says James Thompson, President, Smirnoff Global Marketing.

'The Fighting' Video On Official Casino Royale Site

The official UK website for the 21st James Bond film, Casino Royale, has been updated with a new video.

The video, ‘Fighting,’ covers the massive amounts of work that go into one of the fight sequences of the film. In this case it is the stairwell sequence which pits Daniel Craig’s James Bond against one of the villains in the film. Craig, director Martin Campbell, and stunt co-ordinator Gary Powell all comment on the sequence.

‘You get to something like the stairwell sequence, which is particularly difficult to do because you have to film it in quite constricting circumstances… we had to rehearse the fight on level ground and then film it on the stairs and it’s quite hard’ says Craig. The video can be accessed at the official UK website, click on the left card on the main menu and then ‘Video.’

Chris Cornell On The Casino Royale Title Song

It was confirmed today that Chris Cornell would perform the main title song for Casino Royale. Working alongside composer David Arnold, the title theme will be called ‘You Know My Name.’

In a recent article on MTV, Cornell voiced some of his early concerns on taking the job and what clinched the deal:

‘I wasn’t really sure about doing a Bond theme, because I wasn’t really a big fan of the last several movies,” he said. “And then I heard that there was going to be a new guy — Daniel Craig — who was going to play Bond. And he’s so different. I have seen him in several movies, and I was kind of intrigued. So I went to Prague, where they were shooting the movie, and they showed me a rough edit of it. I was just completely blown away by it, because it’s unlike any Bond film ever, really. [Craig] is an actor’s actor, and there’s emotional content to [the movie]. He’s not like the swaggering, winking sort of super-agent guy. He’s like a human being in this movie, and it’s going to completely readjust the way people think of the character.

Chris Cornell To Perform Casino Royale Title Song

While rumours were circulating around the net that Chris Cornell was the artist chosen to perform the title song for the 21st official James Bond film, Casino Royale, it has today been confirmed, reports PR Newswire.

In collaboration with composer David Arnold, Cornell has written and will perform the main title song ‘You Know My Name’ for the film. Casino Royale will be the first film since 1983’s Octopussy to not feature a main title song that matches the name of the film.

He joins the ranks of Madonna, Sheryl Crow, Duran Duran, and Paul McCartney as performers who have also written the main title song.

“I’ve always loved Chris’ work, both as a writer and as an artist, and had hoped someday to find the right film to inspire him… His music is both soulful and tough. It was the perfect complement to Daniel Craig and Casino Royale, says Lia Vollack, President, Worldwide Music for Columbia Pictures.

Cornell is best known for his previous work with both Soundgarden and Audioslave. He released his solo album, Euphoria Morning, in late 1999 and has also provided songs to the Great Expectations and Mission: Impossible II soundtracks. The third album from Audioslave, currently titled Revelations, is set for release in September 2006.
