SEASON 2 - EPISODE 182 - Martin Campbell - Director In this episode of the Team Deakins Podcast, we speak with director Martin Campbell (CASINO ROYALE, GOLDENEYE, EDGE OF DARKNESS). Faced with limited options for a career as a cameraman in New Zealand, Martin sailed to England, and five years in TV and 51 Tom Jones shows later, Martin transitioned into directing full time. As big fans of Martin's EDGE OF DARKNESS (1985), we didn't miss the opportunity to ask him about the making of the six-part BBC limited series, and we extensively discuss his choices and the challenges he faced. Martin describes the relative freedom the BBC gave him to shoot it, and we learn why he cast Bob Peck and Joe Don Baker in the two lead roles. Martin also reveals how they filmed the show as the scripts came in, and we discuss the alternative ending originally written for the final episode. Plus, Martin reveals why he remade the show as a feature years later in the United States. With two Bond films under his belt, Martin later shares how he was approached to direct GOLDENEYE, and he reveals why CASINO ROYALE was chosen to be grounded in reality. Martin also shares his tips for dealing with studio notes, and he reflects on how, throughout his life, his previous experiences set him up for success for what came next. - Recommended Viewing: EDGE OF DARKNESS (1985 UK TV Series) - This episode is sponsored by Picture Shop & Aputure
In this episode, we ask: Has James Bond Lost His Identity? For over 60 years, James Bond defined cinematic cool. He was fantasy. He was spectacle. He was escapism. But today, Bond bleeds. He Bond grieves. He changes. So what happened? In this episode of Cracking the Code of Spy Movies, we decode Bond's identity crisis. We compare classic 007 with the modern era, examining tone, realism, and serialized storytelling. We ask whether evolution became erosion. From the gadget-loaded spectacle of Goldfinger to the raw reinvention of Casino Royale, Bond has transformed. The Daniel Craig era reshaped the franchise. Emotional arcs replaced standalone missions. Continuity replaced formula. And vulnerability replaced invincibility. Was this necessary growth or a loss of identity? We explore: Has realism made James Bond less fun? Is modern Bond still truly 007? Should Bond return to standalone missions? Did serialized storytelling weaken replay value? What must Amazon get right next? With Amazon MGM Studios steering the future, the stakes are enormous. Bond stands at a crossroads between fantasy and grit. Between myth and modernity. And between timeless and timely. As promised in NO TIME TO DIE, James Bond will return. But which version will we meet? What will his identity be? This episode dives deep into the debate dividing generations of fans. Is Bond aspirational fantasy or grounded realism? The martini is still shaken. The question is whether the identity still is. Join the conversation. The future of 007 depends on it. Tell us what you think: Has James Bond lost his identity? What identity would you like the new James Bond to have? Do you think he's lost his identity?

Mads Mikkelsen (Hannibal, Casino Royale) and Bryan Fuller (Dust Bunny, Hannibal) join us for a wide ranging and deeply personal conversation about their creative partnership, trust between actor and director, and the strange beauty found inside dark stories. Mads reflects on his unconventional path into acting, his background as a dancer, and the emotional discipline required to disappear into complex roles without carrying them home. Bryan opens up about his childhood influences, his love of horror, and how Dust Bunny became a love letter to Amblin era storytelling with a darker edge. Together they unpack Hannibal, vulnerability in performance, working with icons like Sigourney Weaver, and why curiosity and humanity are the foundation of great storytelling.

In our latest tribute, Janet, John, (and Pen) celebrate the life and career of an extremely talented musical genius who wrote some of the most iconic and enduring songs of the 20th century... Burt Baharach! Born in Kansas City, Missouri on May 12th, 1928, Burt seemed to be destined for greatness. Encouraged by his amateur painter and songwriting mother, Burt took up practicing piano, drums, and the cello during his childhood. Using his musical gift, Bacharach continued his education at McGill University in Montreal, Mannes School of Music, and the Musica Academy of the West studying all kinds of music. At the age of 28, he was reccomended to Marlene Dietrich (fun fact: the star our logo is modeled after!) by Peter Matz as she needed an arranger and condutor for her nightclub shows. After becoming her part-time musical director, Baharach and Dietrich toured worldwide together, on and off, until the early 1960s. Eventually this musical genius met Hal David and Dionne Warwick. This trio would make songs that would sell over 12 million copies and have 39 consecutive chart hits. Some of those songs being "Anyone Who Had a Heart" (1963), "Walk On By" (1964), "Message to Michael" (1966), "I Say a Little Prayer" (1967), "Do You Know the Way to San Jose" (1968), "This Girl's in Love with You" (1969) and "I'll Never Fall in Love Again" (1969). Eventually this composer moved towards creating scores for film such Casino Royale (1967) and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969), which won them a Academy Award, an Oscar, and a Grammy for best score. In his lifetime, Burt would go onto to creating many wonderful songs, gain many nominations, and win many awards for his absolutely outstanding music.

Is James Bond a Code Name has fueled fan debates for decades, and this episode delivers the final, evidence-based answer. In The Final Word, we examine the theory head-on using Ian Fleming's novels, official EON films, and on-screen continuity. This episode of Cracking the Code of Spy Movies goes directly to the source. We analyze how Ian Fleming created James Bond. And we discuss Fleming's interviews, drafts, and novels to see if there is a tell here. We explore the crucial evidence from YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE, including Bond's detailed obituary. What do we learn from SKYFALL? And what about the tie-ins between FOR YOUR EYES ONLY and ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE? Even LICENSE TO KILL gives us some clues. We also address popular arguments supporting the code name theory. These include multiple actors, changing timelines, and the reuse of titles like M and Q. Each claim is examined and compared against canon evidence. This episode explains the difference between code names, cover names, and agent numbers. What do they mean and how does NO TIME TO DIE help us tie all that together? At one point, in early drafts of the first James Bond novel, Casino Royale, Ian Fleming initially had a name, James Secretan. We discuss this and why it never made the final novel. If you want the definitive answer, grounded in text and film, this is the episode. Subscribe to Cracking the Code of Spy Movies and join the conversation. Tell us what you think – Is James Bond a Code Name? Finally, do you agree with our assessment here? Do you think James Bond is a code name, cover name, or the character's real name?

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and copasetic impending yearly calendar renewals. Today Matt & Todd are joined by 00‑fanboy Mike to discuss yet another holiday classic (Hello Lifetime, get on this): 1995's GoldenEye.Directed by: Martin Campbell (also director of Casino Royale (2006))Starring:Pierce Brosnan as “Agent 007” Bond, James BondWhit Bissell Award Winner: Sean Bean as Alec TrevelyanIzabella Scorupco as Natalya Simonova(Retroactive Whit Bissell Winner:) Famke Janssen as Xenia OnatoppJoe Don Baker as Jake WadeJudi Dench as MWhit Bissell Award Winner: Alan Cumming as Boris GrishenkoWhit Bissell Award Winner: Robbie Coltrane as ZhukovskyWhit Bissell Award Winner: Minnie Driver as the woman singing "Stand by your Man" in Robbie Coltrane's sceneGoldenEye is an explosive spy thriller and widely regarded as one of the strongest Bond films; especially among those not starring Sean Connery or Roger Moore. The action kicks off immediately with a thrilling opening sequence, barrels through an all‑timer tank chase, and ends in a cataclysmic finale that keeps you locked in from start to finish.This Bond is a bit more dialed‑back than the 60s‑era madness you might associate with the Austin Powers parodies, but what it lacks in “traditional Bond‑ness” it makes up for with a sharp, modern spy thriller sensibility that is still sprinkled with just enough Bond‑flavored absurdity. That includes the usual questionable physics and, of course, whatever murder‑sex‑wrestling hybrid defines Xenia Onatopp's particular combat style. She'd make an interesting kumite participant.(Todd here: In retrospect, I should have given Famke Janssen the Whit Bissell Award for the same reasons Alan Cumming earned his. She's playing a strange, thankless, borderline cartoon character. Onattop is more caricature than role you can “live in”—but she delivers a perfectly unhinged performance and goes all-in on some objectively strange stuff (even for a Bond film) worth recognition. So, with the power vested in me, I'm giving her co‑credit.)While GoldenEye may not top many lists of “Christmas movies,” we think this is the perfect time of year to revisit it.
Struggling to find great board members—and feeling stuck with the same advice that isn't working?

In this episode, Stuart and Jacob embark on a wild ride through the world of espionage as they look at the 1967 comedic spoof "Casino Royale" and the much more serious Daniel Craig iteration of 2006. They delve into the absurdity of the original film, which features a star-studded cast and multiple James Bonds, and discuss how its chaotic narrative pokes fun at the spy genre. Is it any good, spoofing a franchise that barely had existed by that point? Is the 2006 version the best of all the Bond films? Does Woody Allen suffer nearly enough?Also featured in this episode are diatribes about Edgar Wright's "The Running Man", an analysis of British comedy, praise for Mads Mikkelsen, and Stuart and Jacob even build their own spoofs.

Chris Paul and Burning Bright dissect Casino Royale through a geopolitical and psychological lens, exploring Daniel Craig's debut as a darker, more monstrous Bond shaped by post-9/11 culture and modern intelligence narratives. They break down how the film subverts classic Bond tropes, reframes espionage as a world run by competing intel assets, and uses the relationship between Bond, Vesper, and Le Chiffre to expose themes of trauma, manipulation, and institutional control. From the era shift of 2006 to the rise of cinematic propaganda, the hosts examine Bond's sociopathic tendencies, the film's commentary on terror financing, and its portrayal of Western intelligence as both architect and arbiter of global chaos, all while weaving in character analysis, cultural critique, and sharp humor.

In this episode of The Filmumentaries Podcast, I speak with art director and supervising art director Dominic Masters, whose decades-long career spans some of the biggest films and series of the last 40 years. He grew up around movie sets thanks to his father, the legendary production designer Tony Masters (2001: A Space Odyssey, Papillon, Dune), and started his own journey at 19 when he spent eight months in China on Tai-Pan — the first Western movie ever shot there. Dom talks about learning the foundational skills of drafting, the early struggles of finding work in the British film industry of the mid-80s, and the unique lifestyle of moving from production to production — that strange micro-community that forms on set, often in far-flung locations. We cover his experiences on Titanic working under James Cameron, the shift from physical sets to set extensions and digital workflows, the evolution of the art department, and how shows like House of the Dragon demand an enormous level of coordination, creativity and technical precision. We also talk about the British Film Designers Guild, the camaraderie that forms in the art department, and his personal creative outlets, photography and music, that keep him balanced between jobs. It's a wide-ranging, honest conversation with someone who has seen the industry evolve from the studio backlots of the 1970s to enormous contemporary productions. Topics discussedGrowing up around film sets and learning from legendary designersHis first job on Tai-Pan in 1985 and the experience of shooting in ChinaThe hierarchy and craft of the art departmentCollaboration with directors, designers, construction and VFXWorking on Titanic and the extraordinary scale of the buildThe Harry Potter films, James Bond films, and shifting directorsThe intensity and scale of House of the DragonSurviving the freelance lifestyle and industry downturnsCreative outlets outside the jobGuest Dominic Masters – Art Director / Supervising Art DirectorSelected credits: House of the Dragon, Belfast, Wonder Woman, Now You See Me 2, Casino Royale, Harry Potter, Titanic, The World Is Not Enough, The Avengers.This podcast is completely independent and made possible by listener support.

NO TIME TO DIE shocked audiences around the globe by doing what no Bond movie had ever dared to do — killing James Bond. After decades of near-death escapes, 007 finally met his end in Daniel Craig's last outing as the iconic British spy. But was it the bold, emotional conclusion the franchise needed, or an unforgivable betrayal of everything James Bond stands for? Now that the shock value has worn off, it's time to reexamine this. Was it bold storytelling, betrayal, or a cop out? In this episode of Cracking the Code of Spy Movies from SpyMovieNavigator.com, hosts Dan and Tom are joined by passionate Bond experts from across the globe: Morgan Lisney (Canada), Pietro Rossi (UK), Bill Kanas, and Stuart Bassinger (US). They debate one of the most controversial endings in movie history. Together, they dive deep into No Time to Die's themes, story arcs, plot holes, production decisions, and what Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson might have been thinking when they agreed to end Bond's story. From discussions about Bond's legacy, Daniel Craig's arc, and Amazon's takeover of the franchise, to speculation about the future of 007, this episode explores every angle. Was Bond's death a creative risk that gave the series emotional weight, or did it destroy the fantasy that made audiences fall in love with the character for over 60 years? We also examine how the Craig era compares to classic Bond films, from Casino Royale to Skyfall, and whether the next generation of filmmakers should reboot, revive, or completely reinvent 007.

Thirty years ago this November, a brand new James Bond took the world by storm and he was played by Pierce Brosnan. Only eight years after the former television star of "Remington Steele" was initially set to take on the role but then couldn't because of unexpected issues with his former network, a man who seemed born to play 007 was finally able to take on the role. And this time around, Bond had a new actress playing his boss M, none other than Oscar-winner Dame Judi Dench. Not only that, but also some promising new villains played by Sean Bean (Fellowship of the Ring, The Martian, Game of Thrones) and Famke Janssen (X-Men, Rounders). AND a brand new director from New Zealand who cut his teeth on British television, Martin Campbell (The Mask of Zorro, Green Lantern, Casino Royale) helming his first big budget feature film for the first time. And everybody loved it? Let's head back to the mid '90's for the first post-Cold War reboot of one of the most enduring franchises in cinema history.....

Nonprofit leaders, are you tired of hearing that funders “don't support general operating costs”? You're not alone—and that mindset is costing your organization. In this episode, I unpack why donors often resist unrestricted funding and how you can change that conversation. The truth is, most donors genuinely care about your mission, not just your programs. They want to be part of the solution, but they need you to show them how their support fuels impact across your entire organization—from staff development to research to long-term sustainability. I'll walk you through how to set the right expectations, talk confidently about unrestricted gifts, and inspire funders to invest in your cause—not just a single program. Episode Highlights 00:20 The Challenge of Funding General Operating Costs 00:46 Shifting Donor Perspectives 02:13 Communicating Your Mission Effectively 03:18 Engaging Donors with Program Details 04:31 Assuming Donors Care About Your Mission 07:07 Investment Level Conversations 09:52 Conclusion: Changing Your Fundraising Mindset Resource The Board Clarity Club A monthly membership for boards that provides training and live expert support to help your board have total clarity on how to be the best board possible.

Nonprofit leaders, when too much responsibility lands on one person's plate, the results are predictable—burnout and turnover. Relying on a single leader, often the ED or CEO, doesn't just exhaust them, it puts your entire organization at risk. In this episode, I share why spreading leadership capacity is essential, how to know when it's time to hire, and what happens when you build a team that carries the load together.

Recorded July 18, 2025 at the Old Fire Station Theatre - Oxford, UK “I do think, every time you need to sing the title!” - Steve on Bond theme songs On this week's Summer Live episode, it's our piping-hot pod straight out of Oxford all about the second Daniel Craig Bond film, Quantum of Solace! Why did they think they needed to chase the Jason Bourne movies, thus altering the very DNA of this franchise? Why is this movie so far up Casino Royale's ass? Why couldn't Mathieu Amalric get a dang parlor scene? And couldn't they have thought of a more exciting villain lair than an empty hotel in the middle of the desert? PLUS: M's boyfriend has some snack requests! Quantum of Solace stars Daniel Craig, Olga Kurylenko, Mathieu Amalric, Giancarlo Giannini, Gemma Arterton, Jeffrey Wright, David Harbour, Jesper Christensen, Anatole Taubman, Rory Kinnear, and Dame Judi Dench as M; directed by Marc Forster.
