London is buzzing ahead of the World Premiere of Casino Royale, the 21st James Bond adventure, which will open in front of over 4000 people simultaneously in Leicester Square at 8:30pm on Tuesday 14th November 2006.
Casino Royale will take over Leicester Square as three of London's flagship cinemas - the Odeon Leicester Square, the Empire, and the Odeon West End - and will break records as the most attended film premiere ever held in the UK.
The world premiere of the film is also the 60th Royal Film Performance, and will benefit the Film & Television Benevolent Fund (CTBF), whose patron is Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
The previous James Bond film, "Die Another Day" in 2002 was also a Royal Film Performance, held at the Royal Albert Hall.
