Casino Royale is a 2006 spy film directed by Martin Campbell and starring Daniel Craig as James Bond. The film is based on Ian Fleming's 1953 novel of the same name and is the 21st film in the James Bond series. The film premiered on November 14, 2006, in London and was released worldwide on November 17, 2006. The soundtrack for Casino Royale was composed by David Arnold, who had previously composed the scores for the previous four Bond films. The soundtrack features a mix of orchestral and electronic music, with Arnold incorporating elements of the classic Bond theme throughout the score. The soundtrack is divided into 25 tracks, with the first track, "African Rundown," serving as the film's opening sequence. The track features a mix of African percussion and electronic beats, setting the tone for the film's action-packed opening scene. Other notable tracks include "Miami International," which features a jazzy, lounge-style arrangement, and "The Name's Bond... James Bond," which incorporates the classic Bond theme in a dramatic orchestral arrangement. One of the standout tracks on the soundtrack is "You Know My Name," which serves as the film's main theme and features vocals by Chris Cornell. The track is a departure from the traditional Bond theme, with Cornell's gritty vocals and Arnold's rock-inspired arrangement giving the song a modern edge. Overall, the soundtrack for Casino Royale is a dynamic and exciting score that perfectly complements the film's action-packed storyline. Arnold's use of orchestral and electronic elements, as well as his incorporation of the classic Bond theme, make for a memorable and thrilling listening experience.
