Sony Pictures Home Entertainment is thrilled to announce that Casino Royale, the biggest Bond film ever with a UK theatrical gross of over £50 million, will be available to buy as a three-disc Deluxe Edition DVD, and two-disc Deluxe Edition Blu-ray from 20th October 2008.
Timed to coincide with the theatrical release of Bond’s latest outing, Quantum Of Solace, the Deluxe Edition of Casino Royale, gives fans of the 21st James Bond adventure everything they could possibly hope for and also provides a fantastic opportunity to get up to speed with the events surrounding DANIEL CRAIG’s (Munich, The Golden Compass) debut outing as Bond.
Casino Royale traces the early career of James Bond. His first “007” mission leads him to Le Chiffre (MADS MIKKELSEN), banker to the world’s terrorists. In order to stop him, and bring down the terrorist network, Bond must beat Le Chiffre in a high-stakes poker game at Casino Royale. Bond is initially annoyed when a beautiful Treasury official, Vesper Lynd (EVA GREEN), is assigned to deliver his stake for the game and watch over the government's money. But, as Bond and Vesper survive a series of lethal attacks by Le Chiffre and his henchmen, a mutual attraction develops that leads them both into further danger and events that will shape Bond’s life forever.
