Daniel Craig stars as James
Bond for the third time in the film
PA
Superspy James Bond is to
get the royal seal of approval when the latest film of 007's adventures
receives its world premiere.
The Prince of Wales and the
Duchess of Cornwall will join the stars of Skyfall at the event at the Royal
Albert Hall, reports The Press Association.
It will benefit real members
of the security services after Charles asked for the screening to support
charities that help members of the three intelligence agencies - the Secret
Intelligence Service (MI6), the Security Service (MI5) and GCHQ.
The movie - the 23rd in the
series - sees Daniel Craig assume the role of 007 for a third time.
He will be joined on the red
carpet by other members of the cast including Dame Judi Dench, who returns as
M, Javier Bardem, Ralph Fiennes, Naomie Harris, Berenice Marlohe and Ben
Whishaw.
Oscar-winning director Sam
Mendes will also stride the red carpet. Mendes has promised fans an
"epic" film when Skyfall hits cinema screens.
He said the superspy would
be a "three-dimensional" character and hinted the film could almost
match On Her Majesty's Secret Service, which at 142 minutes is the longest Bond
film yet.
He told Total Film: "As
the movie progresses, it gets more epic.
"I loved the scale of
it. I think there is a possibility that I put everything I've ever wanted to
put in a Bond movie into this movie."
The Bond movies are
celebrating a half century this year and Skyfall's premiere comes just over a
fortnight after the 50th anniversary of the first Bond film, Dr No, received
its world premiere on October 5 1962.
