Mood Board - Casino Royale


This is my mood board for another of the films I have been researching for this project - Casino Royale.

I have mainly been looking at the 2006 remake of Casino Royale in which Daniel Craig portrays our hero, "Bond, James Bond".

Bond achieves his double "0" ranking by killing his second of two hits required for this status at the start of the film. It is in this film that we see Bond win his 1964 Aston Martin at a game of cards, which he uses to his advantage as a chip to win a night with another man's wife, Solange. Bond's nemesis in this portrayal is one 'Le Chiffre'. Bond foils a plot of Le Chiffre's to destroy the prototype of a large airline called Starfleet, which Le Chiffre thinks would make millions. To avoid being killed by his investors, Le Chiffre must earn back the money he has lost and sets up a high stakes poker game in Montenegro for 10 players with entry fees of $10 million each.
The main love interest in Casino Royale in Vesper Lynd, the government agent sent to keep an eye on Bond during the poker tournament. Through a series of dramatic scenes including Bond losing all the money, almost dying from a spiked drink and being captured and tortured, our hero, as ever is triumphant and wins the tournament, the money, gets the girl and invents his signature martini (“shaken not stirred”) in the process.

Many of the images used in this mood board were sourced online, a list of these links can be found below. Additionally to the sourced images, I took some of the photos personally and edited them within Photoshop.
