Casino Royale (James Blond?)


The new James Bond movie, Casino Royale, looks like its going to be good. Pierce Brosnan is gone, and replaced by Daniel Craig who was great in Layer Cake. It looks like they're going for a more grittier, and realistic (for a Bond movie anyway) kind of action movie. More of a Bourne Identity kind of feel. Pierce Brosnan was good, but in the last couple of movies, the gadgets and sets were getting kinda ridiculous. I mean, an invisible car and a castle made out of ice? Come on...
I think it's a shame that they always try to rope these actors into a two or three movie deal. They should just mix it up all the time - have a different actor play Bond for each movie just to keep it fresh. Get someone like Clive Owen or Sean Bean.
In any case, you can view a great trailer for the movie here. The official website is here.
