...
won't be seeing it. I saw my dumb action movie of the year already with Mission Impossible 3, it's probably one of the best action movies I've ever seen though so I'm glad I saw it though.
Anyway, I like the handsome, charming, wise cracking,gadget using bond.

Actually the original was Fleming's first Bond novel, which makes me ask why are they doing this novel now? Because from what I know about the original novel Bond has just been promoted to the double "o" status. But in the trailer M is talking to Bond about a promotion, maybe to captain or admerial because he is curently a commander. Action wise it should be good, and I think that the story will be decent, I mean I don't expect much from a Bond story because they are all about the same.

Daniel Craig on Casino Royale
Source: Reuters August 31, 2006 Reuters has published a new interview with Casino Royale star Daniel Craig and here are a few clips: "We have an opening sequence that is filmed in black and white, which is not to say this is old. It is just to say, 'go with us on this one. This is from the beginning,"' Craig said. "It's huge," said Craig about taking the role. "Of course there's concern, I'm only human. I want to get it right." Craig said he talked to Pierce Brosnan, who played the super spy in the four most recent Bond Flicks, "quite a few times." "Pierce said 'go for it,"' Craig said. "So I did."

Sean Connery was the perfect Bond...tall, rugged, deadly and purposeful.
Thunderball :- "My dear girl, don't flatter yourself. What I did this evening was for King and country. You don't think it gave me any pleasure, do you?" Somehow all the rest who played 007 never measured up.

:confused: :confused: :confused: I can't picture that. I don't think I'd go for Kill Bill meets Bond. But I'm not a big Tarantino fan either.

It's based on a book Ian Fleming wrote WAAAAY back when, it's one of the first, if not THE first JB full-length story...as in set before all the "old" JB films. I doubt the film will owe anything more to tarantino than the fact it'll have guns in it? I'm ok with the "different" bond. It's not him changing, it's (and other early books) more like how he used to be. Yes, he was an assassin, as M puts it in the trailer "a blunt instrument". It's set in the modern day which may be a little unusual, but whatever...I didn't see as many complaints about Batman Begins, more or less the same deal... I personally hope it's a new franchise for Bond, for at least a few films, there's definately enough material to work with. As for the comedy version, I heard it was great...I may hire it.

The idea of prequels is hardly unheard of...besides, and even if someone DID get the idea off tarantino, big deal...
Obviously someone got off their ass and did it, whereas he didn't. Either that or he spoiled his own chances at the same deal by being the arrogant, outspoken guy he often is... Ideas are only ideas until someone makes them more.

Copied from Wikipedia:
"Casino Royale is the first James Bond novel by author Ian Fleming. It would eventually pave the way for 11 other novels by Fleming himself in addition to 2 short story anthologies, followed by many 'continuation' Bond novels by other authors." For starters this movie can't be a prequal because the current "M" is in it, the original "M" was a male. Second it take place in modern times. Third this is going down as BOND 21, so its part of the normal series. Also I don't know were this comment about the other Bond stories were made-up for the movies, all of the Bond films up until "The Spy Who Loved Me" were all based on Ian's novels, the only thing that was used in this movie was the title. Then everything after "The Living Daylights" starting with "Licence to Kill" were stories for the movies with no novel influence to the story. This is alittle bit off topic but has anyone ever noticed that whenever Bond is on TV they never show the movies in order like they do for other series. I guess some people don't know that these movies do carry elements over from the previous film. For example, "From Russia With Love", at the beginning of the movie Bond is with the Brunet that he hooked-up with in the Casino in "Dr. No" and in a meeting the SPECTER agaents make references to the death of Dr. No. In "You Only Live Twice" Bond finaly goes head to head with Blofield who is the leader of SPECTER. After not catching him Bond is still chaseing Blofield in "On Her Majesty's Secrect Service", at the end Blowfield kills Bond's wife. This storyline is concluded in "Diamonds are Forever" with Bond finaly defeating Blofield.
