Casino Royale

Anyone else seen the trailer? Must admit it looks like it could be good! Been a very long time since I've said that about a Bond film.

It does look good. Should be much better than the woeful Die Another Day.

 

[llantwit]

THAT looks bloody EXCELLENT!

 

[BlackSpecs]

I love it when the Aston Martin flies to bits....i hope this is going to be a DARK Bond , like the ones in the novels!!! can't wait!!!!!

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

I have to say that when I first read about Daniel Craig, my reaction was "WHO?" but I appear to have been proved wrong.

 

[llantwit]

Daniel Craig's always been quality ins a slow-burning-career kind of way. He was even pretty good in Tomb Raider.

 

[Kid_Eternity]

He was pretty good in Munich too.

 

[Flashman]

Geordie.

Always liked him.


Looks cool.

...it looks as if they may have de-punned Bond (there's bound to be one pun left) - looks a lot more "serious" than any other bond flick.

Checking the cast list there is no porn-pun characters either... Bonds finally grown up!

There wasnt any of that punnery in the novels was there?

Apparently not. I haven't read any of them, but I was chatting to a fella the other day who's got over 600 Bond books (there are only 14 stories!), including loads of first editions. A serious collection. He said that Fleming's novels are much, much darker than the films. I'm going to start reading them.

The trailer for Casino Royale looks excellent.

Its kind of like a return to the Dalton Bonds (no bad thing IMO as they were underrated)

Me too, in the films hes way too goody goody.

 

[elevendayempire]

It's got that scene from the book in. You know, the one where Bond gets his plums walloped with a carpet beater:

Yep, that's my impression. The Dalton films seemed to have a bit more grit to them.

Also, @ The Groke:

...and no one's mentioned Eva Green yet? <swoon>

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

Yep, that's my impression. The Dalton films seemed to have a bit more grit to them.

They've aged surprisingly well actually. Licence to Kill actually comes across as one of the better post-Connery films, if you watch them all now.

 

[Pie 1]

I really like the look of that scene with the Aston going tits up

 

[elevendayempire]

The theme's up on www.myspace.com/chriscornell.
