It is also considered to be the first more-or-less faithful adaptation of a full-length Fleming novel since 1973's Live and Let Die as all the films in the interim had either only used selected elements from Fleming's novels, were based upon short stories (requiring substantial expansion), or were original works. The film was directed by Martin Campbell and adapted for the screen by Neal Purvis, Robert Wade, and Paul Haggis.īased on the 1953 novel Casino Royale by Ian Fleming, it is the first Bond film to take its title from an Ian Fleming novel or short story since 1987's The Living Daylights, and the first to be directly based on any of Fleming's writing's since 1989's Licence to Kill (although several films in the interim, such as the preceding Die Another Day, had incorporated some story elements from Fleming). It served as a series reboot, resetting its continuity to the start of Bond's career as a 00 and was the first to feature Daniel Craig as James Bond.
