The Casino Royale / Daniel Craig Thread

[undarrenworld]

Heh this movie must be big, cos here in Karlovy Vary, where its being filmed the government must rebuilt a part of the town. To look better in the movie...


All for James

A whole raft of Bond news and features seem to have come out today.

This interview with Broccoli and Craig is interesting... covering the bad press, the music, and Bond 22, among other things.

Also little bit of info on the black and white pre-title sequence over at Empire.

Yes, a couple of times. A real curiosity piece.

Amazing cast. Great score. Apart from that, I thought it was dire!

(though it certainly has its fans who'll vehemently disagree with me)

It sure aint A Bond Film™ in any recognisable sense.

owch...

Bond is a franchise and what you are saying is that after Connery, Bond was ruined, which is entirely not true...

unfortunately we needed new actors ever so often and its a case of different strokes for different folks, i loved Moore, because i grew up with him as Bond, but now I would say Brosnan is how i expect a Bond to act these days, and perhaps with Craig, we've got a Bond for the 21st Century

i'm not sure its a good idea to (re)make a film of the past, although this Bond movie was never made by the original production company, so its not really a rehash...its just the original story told how Flemming imagined, with a modern up to date twist...

Fans will always clamour for Bond movies, and the franchise has to keep moving and changing with the times, and despite the last movie's over use of CGI and crappy story lines, it was still a classic Bond, and this trailer leads me to believe that this will be one of the better recent Bonds - its probably back to how Flemming wanted him to be...a no nonsense spy

you're either a fan of Bond as a franchise of all Bonds or just one, which i know a lot of people are... its not a matter of matching up to Connery, its a matter of matching up to Bond

saw this a couple of days ago...

must say that i still have mixed feelings about it.
the trailer wasn't really excellent, so it might just be a case of "good film, dud trailer". Then again it could be the old "dud trailer, crap film" as well.

naturally i'm hoping for the best.
