Casino Royale (2006) is the twenty-first film in the British James Bond series; it was directed by Martin Campbell and the first to star Daniel Craig as MI6 agent James Bond and the first of the newly rebooted Bond timeline. Based on the 1953 novel of the same name by Ian Fleming, it was adapted by screenwriters Neal Purvis, Robert Wade, and Paul Haggis. It is the third screen adaptation of the Casino Royale novel, which was previously produced as a 1954 television episode and a 1967 satirical film. The film is set at the beginning of James Bond's career as Agent 007, just as he is earning his licence to kill. After preventing a terrorist attack at Miami International Airport, Bond falls for Vesper Lynd, the treasury agent assigned to provide the money he needs to foil a high-stakes poker tournament organised by Le Chiffre. The film's story arc continues in the 22nd James Bond film, Quantum of Solace. The 2006 film is the only EON Productions adaptation of Fleming's novel. It is a reboot of the Bond franchise, establishing a new timeline and narrative framework not meant to be preceded by (or serve as a prequel to) any previous film. This not only frees the Bond franchise from more than forty years of continuity, but allows the film to show a less experienced and more vulnerable Bond. Casino Royale was released on 16 November 2006. The casting for the movie involved a widespread search for a new actor to portray James Bond, and significant controversy over Daniel Craig, when he was eventually selected. Some Pierce Brosnan fans threatened to boycott the film in protest. Despite this, the film, and Daniel Craig's performance in particular, earned critical acclaim. Casino Royale was produced by EON Productions for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and Columbia Pictures, marking the first official Bond film to be co-produced by the latter studio, which had produced and originally distributed the 1967 non-canonical film version. The 2006 version is the highest-grossing Bond film, without adjusting for inflation, making $594,239,066 worldwide. From Wikipedia under the

Would they replace Bond's gun in future movie posters with a feather duster and a trashcan? Asked by Tornado H - Mon Sep 15 14:08:30 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. NO NEVER. Bond is not that type of guy. He isn't even a one woman man. Answered by NewDreams - Wed Sep 17 02:51:39 2008 What is the internal chronological order of the James Bond films? Q. What I mean by internal chronology is the order of the plot within the movies, NOT the order of the year they were released. As far as I know, and if I'm not mistaken, Casino Royale (2006) should be first on the list. Asked by 22charactersinthisname - Fri Nov 14 21:26:54 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. Well it's the order Ian Fleming wrote the books which you can see on his wikipedia entry.. but it's worth noting that the latest Casino Royale was basically a reboot of the franchise so it doesn't really have anything to do with the previous films plot wise. Answered by John L - Fri Nov 14 21:37:03 2008 Do you agree with my movie choices for 2006?
Q. Here are my choices for the top 5 movies of 2006: 5. Casino Royale -- This had to make the list somewhere, for all you die hard Bond fans. This really was one of the best Bond films to date, in my opinion. Full of action 4. The Illusionist -- I know a lot of you will disagree with ths one, but I watched it and really really enjoyed it. I was entranced throughout the whole movie and didn't even see the ending coming. Plus I really like Edward Norton. Watch it, if you haven't seen it already. 3. Superman Returns -- Ordinarily, I'm not a big fan of remakes, but I really liked Superman Returns. It had a theme similar to the older Superman movies. I think Christopher Reeve would be proud. 2. The Da Vinci Code -- I'm a big fan of Tom Hanks,… [cont.] Asked by icemanind - Sun Jan 7 03:27:49 2007 - - 11 Answers - 0 Comments A. My top 5 of 2006 are: 1. X-Men: The Last Stand 2.
