After the rights to the long sought after Casino Royale landed in the hands of EON Productions, Martin Campbell found his door darkened yet again with an offer.
One that, while he hasn’t returned to the director’s chair since, Campbell has enjoyed to varying degrees.

With a brand new Bond in Daniel Craig, and a soft reboot approach taken when executing the story, the ingredients were there to lure Campbell into kicking off another era of 007 films.
