Those clever folks at Secret Cinema have just announced a brand new immersive experience for their latest endeavour – the James Bond 007 classic Casino Royale.
Having worked on some big projects recently, Casino Royale is yet another big statement of intent for the company as Secret Cinema looks to once again take film fans on a memorable experience.
Casino Royale reignited the James Bond franchise back in 2006, which also acted as Daniel Craig’s first outing as 007. The film was directed by Martin Campbell and was a critical and box-office smash hit, welcoming in a new era of the British super-spy that has gone on to become the character’s most successful run of all time. It also started Craig’s record-beating run as the longest serving James Bond in history.
Starting its run on the 29th May 2019 and running until July, a secret London location will once again be transformed into the glamorous and action-packed world of the iconic British secret agent for a spy-tastic summer run.
According to the Secret Cinema website, there will be two types of tickets available, with tiers of pricing in each.
Tickets will go on sale at 12:00pm on 6th December. The experience will run between Wednesday – Sunday each week, with tickets priced between £40 – £175 plus booking fees.
