Sunday 14th August 2022 - Pinewood Studios, London, England It seemed only appropriate, having been based at the studio for 28 years, that I should help tip our hats to 60 Years of 007 here, and on one of the most glorious (and hottest) days of the summer 150 people descended on Pinewood for a very special day. Centred around Daniel Craig’s Casino Royale, the John Barry Theatre became host to morning coffee before a glorious 4K print of the movie … introduced by Executive Producer Anthony Waye.   Anthony Waye introducing the 4k screening of Casino Royale   Following which, some of the key creatives assembled to chat about the movie – unfortunately director Martin Campbell was on location in Greece, but send a heartfelt message - included in the line-up were: Tom Chadbon (Actor: the stockbroker), Chris Corbould (Special Effects Supervisor), editor extraordinaire Stuart Baird, Phil Meheux (DoP), Anthony Waye, Terry Bamber (?), Terry Madden (Second Unit AD), Alexander Witt (2nd Unit Director) and Joseph Millson (Actor: Carter). Forty-five minutes flew-by and some fascinating stories were shared including Joseph telling us how he auditioned for Bond (and Carter was a consolation prize), Stuart Baird on cutting one single frame from each shot just to tighten every single scene ever so slightly, Alex Witt on the detailed story-boarding he developed with the director and, Phil Meheux on achieving the uneasiness of the ‘toilet scene’ in the pre-titles by making it grainy and over-exposed. All truly fascinating!   Casino Royale cast and crew Q and A session in the John Barry Theatre.   A BBQ lunch was served in the gardens and the ballroom played host to our Casino Royale guests plus other Bond alumni – John Glen (Director), John Grover (Editor), Elaine Schreyeck (Continuity), Graham Hartstone (Sound), Colin Miller (Sound Editor), Keith Hamshere (Stills), Caroline Bliss (Moneypenny), Jenny Hanley (The Irish Girl, OHMSS), Madeline Smith (Miss Caruso), John Moreno (Ferrara), John Wyman (Kriegler) and Paul Weston (Stunts).   John Moreno, John Wyman, Madeline Smith, Paul Weston, Jenny Hanley, Graham Hartstone, Elaine Schreyeck, Anthony Waye, John Glen and Caroline Bliss.   Dave Worrall talks Pinewood filming locations Paul Weston and Gareth having a smashing time!   There were also half a dozen memorabilia stores and author Simon Firth signing his “locations” books. Dave Worrall hosted a chat in the gardens about Bond / Pinewood filming locations, followed by a Q&A with the ‘Bond Girls’, ‘Bond Guys’ and John Glen along with what purported to be a serious talk by Paul Weston about ‘making 007 look brave’ – which actually turned into a (well-rehearsed) stunt act with Gareth, bringing the house down … just before afternoon tea. It was a long, hot day packed with fun and very special memories with a very special crowd of people.   Alexander Witt, Stuart Baird, Phil Meheux, Terry Bamber, Terry Madden, Anthony Waye, Chris Corbould, Tom Chadbon and Joseph Millson.   A wonderful day, with wonderful weather and wonderful guests!   There will be more photos posted on our Facebook page soon!       We have a limited stock of the exclusive event programme for sale Please click here for more information     All photos (C) Mark Mawston \ Bondstars LLP, not to be used without prior permission.
