Speaking to the Guardian newspaper,Campbell looked back on successfully launching Brosnan and Craig: 'Timingwas more important on both movies. With GoldenEye, the franchisegot lockedintothis legal fight. They couldn't make new Bond movies for aboutseven years. It was my first huge production. I figured if Idid at least a yeoman-like job, it would be greeted as a completerevival of the series.' It was, and he invited back 10 yearslater to welcome Craig in to the franchise.

Casino Royale was released on 13 April 1967, two months prior to Eon's fifth Bond movie, You Only Live Twice. The film was a financial success, grossing over $41.7 million worldwide, and Burt Bacharach 's musical score was praised, earning him an Oscar nomination for the song ' The Look of Love '. The fighting scene in the bathroom was one of the best moments of the movie and also demanded a lot from Tom Cruise and Henry Cavill. Both actors had insane schedules, and they had to prepare for the scene with each other's respective doubles. Once again, Cavill compares the scene with dancing and talks about fight choreography.
'The producers felt it had gone off the rails a bit afterDie Another Day, with invisiblecars and all that. I told them, we have to go back to the books.We even discussed doing it as a period piece.' He laughs. 'Wesettled on a more fucked-up character with a dark streak in him– drinking too much, dodgy liver – all that's in the book.In Casino, he also had a real relationship with a woman.He doesn't just have a dozen for king and country.'
The key to Campbell's interest in returning to Bond was theprospect of an origin story. He explained to ReelzChannel: 'CasinoRoyale of course was an opportunity to go back to the tone ofthe books which they never were in the originalmovies. They never have been. Even the SeanConnery moviesare not in the same tone as the book. I was lucky enough to havean origin story.'

'Bond really doesn't become Bond until the last frame ofthe movie. He's a fucked up guy. He's a guy who smokes too much.He doesn't smoke in the movie but in the books he certainly smokestoo much, he drinks too much, he abhors a certain kind of violencewhen it's very messy and ugly. It's something he hates. He finallyshoots someone in the forehead with a bullet, but the bathroomscene is very distasteful and ugly and clumsy and messy.'
'So there are elements to Bond, and of course a great relationshipwith the girl which allowed you the one meaningful relationshipin his life apart from On HerMajesty's Secret Service wherehe marries the girl. So that was a really great opportunity toget into the tone of the books and make him a much darker, morefucked up character which was way more interesting in my opinion.'
