London - The new James Bond film, Casino Royale, has caused controversy shortly before filming starts, with the family of a Brazilian man mistakenly shot dead by British security forces on a London Underground train launching a campaign against the film's plot on Tuesday.

In previews of the film reported in British newspapers, the new 007, played for the first time by British actor Daniel Craig, also mistakenly shoots the wrong man in a scene inspired by the London shooting.

The family of the killed immigrant Jean Charles de Menezes were said to be "shocked" by the plot, a spokesperson for the relatives said. The tragic death of the 27-year-old should not be marketed as a Hollywood plot, the spokesperson said.

The production company has not commented on the issue.

Menezes was mistaken for a suicide bomber and shot dead shortly after a series of terrorist attacks killed more than 50 people in London. The exact circumstances of the shooting still remain in the dark. -Sapa-dpa
