Campbell is not new to sequels. In 1995, he did the movie GoldenEye, the movie that marked the arrival of Pierce Brosnan as the main character.
Producers seem very happy with their choice. "We are thrilled that Martin has accepted our offer to direct Casino Royale. He is an extremely talented director and we believe he will help take our films in a new and exciting direction."
Martin Campbell is presently working on the film Legend of Zorro with Catherine Zeta Jones and Antonio Banderas.
The next step is finding the hero of this 21st film in the James Bond sequels. Rumour has it that Dougray Scott (Mission: Impossible 2), has a great chance of getting the part.
