    Official ‘Casino Royale’ Teaser Poster

    As reported yesterday by CBn, the full Casino Royale trailer was released by Sony Pictures today. About half an hour ago, AOL Moviefone was the first online service to publish the official trailer. It can be viewed in a very good high quality version here.

    The trailer itself features a lot of scenes and sequences that have been discussed in pain-staking detail to date in the CBn Forum, and is a colourful mix of Bond’s new brutality, a deep romance and love story and the typical Bond elements. For the first time ever, a choral version of the James Bond Theme is used to underline the trailer’s climax.

    As a personal note I want to add that this is the best Bond trailer I have seen in several years. So be sure to check it out!

    Stay tuned to CBn for all the latest news on Casino Royale.

  2. Casino Royale Limited Collection From Turnbull & Asser

    By Devin Zydel on 2006-09-07

    To tie in with the release of the 21st official James Bond film, Casino Royale, Turnbull & Asser will be launching a limited edition shirt and tie collection.

    The full press release follows:

    James Bond, Casino Royale, Limited Collection Evening Shirt and Bow Tie

    Turnbull & Asser, the world renowned Jermyn Street shirt maker, is proud to be launching its first “Limited Collection” Shirt and Bow Tie combination to be featured in the new blockbuster film Casino Royale produced by Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli.

    It was back in 1962 that this, most charismatic of film icons, was born. His name was Bond, James Bond. From the outset, every actor to play the roll of James Bond has invariably worn shirts and ties made by Turnbull & Asser. It is, therefore, only natural, that Daniel Craig in his forthcoming debut, as the new James Bond in Casino Royale will be wearing shirts and ties by Turnbull & Asser.

    The “Limited Collection” shirt is made from a super fine, two fold, white-on-white cotton. Using a classic silhouette, the shirt has been designed with a unique collar, specifically designed by Turnbull & Asser, which is featured in the film. Further subtle details can be found including the mitred double cuffs and concealed front placket which, stylishly, hide the mother of pearl buttons underneath. The bow tie is made from raw Shantung silk, giving extra texture and a wonderful handle and tactility when touching the bow tie. The shirt and bow tie will add an air of sophistication to any gentleman’s wardrobe: it is a “must have” item; a piece of cinema history. Just like James Bond.

    Coming Soon reports that Sony Pictures will be releasing the new trailer for the 21st official James Bond film, Casino Royale on Thursday, 7 September 2006.

    It will premiere on AOL’s Moviefone at 10:30 PM (PST).

    The only previous Casino Royale trailer was released in early May.

    The Official Casino Royale Synopsis

    Casino Royale is based on Ian Fleming’s novel of the same name. Published in 1953, it was the first book in his James Bond series. EON Productions’ Casino Royale produced by Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli will mark the introduction of Daniel Craig (Munich / Layer Cake) as legendary secret agent, 007. Martin Campbell (GoldenEye / The Legend Of Zorro) is directing this film, the 21st in the 44 year franchise.

    Casino Royale introduces James Bond before he holds his licence to kill. But Bond is no less dangerous, and with two professional assassinations in quick succession, he is elevated to ’00’ status.

    Bond’s first 007 mission takes him to Madagascar where he is to spy on a terrorist, Mollaka (Sebastien Foucan). Not everything goes to plan and Bond decides to investigate, independently of MI6, in order to track down the rest of the terrorist cell. Following a lead to the Bahamas, he encounters Dimitrios (Simon Abkarian) and his girlfriend, Solange (Caterina Murino). He learns that Dimitrios is involved with Le Chiffre (Mads Mikkelsen), banker to the world’s terrorist organizations.

    Secret Service intelligence reveals that Le Chiffre is planning to raise money in a high-stakes poker game in Montenegro at Le Casino Royale. MI6 assigns 007 to play against him, knowing that if Le Chiffre loses, it will destroy his organisation.

    ‘M’ (Judi Dench) places Bond under the watchful eye of the beguiling Vesper Lynd (Eva Green). At first skeptical of what value Vesper can provide, Bond’s interest in her deepens as they brave danger together and even torture at the hands of Le Chiffre.

    In Montenegro, Bond allies himself with Mathis (Giancarlo Giannini) MI6’s local field agent, and Felix Leiter (Jeffrey Wright) who is representing the interests of the CIA. The marathon game proceeds with dirty tricks and violence, raising the stakes beyond blood money and reaching a terrifying climax.

  5. Eva Green Initially Reluctant Of Bond Girl Role In Casino Royale

    By Devin Zydel on 2006-09-05

    Eva Green

    Entertainment Wise reports that Eva Green (Vesper Lynd in Casino Royale) was initially reluctant in taking the role of the Bond girl in the new 007 film.

    ‘My first reaction was that it was a big action movie… it’s a Bond girl and I don’t want to do it,’ said Green. ‘But then producer Barbara Broccoli insisted that I read the script. I read it and thought it was quite unusual. I was very much surprised by the relationship Bond has with Vesper.’

    And why did Green choose to appear in the new James Bond film? ‘It’s beautiful love story. That’s why I wanted to do it. Not because it’s Bond.’

    ‘Casino Royale:’ Tough, but cool…

    Playing the role of James Bond in the upcoming Casino Royale is a tough, but cool job for Daniel Craig – reports Reuters.

    What does Craig respond when asked what was the coolest thing about taking on the role of 007 in the 21st James Bond film? ‘Finishing probably.’

    As tough as the job and as different as this new Bond film may be, Craig assures that Bond keeps his cool through the end. ‘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,”‘ he says.

  10. Positive Preview in 'Rolling Stone'

    Rolling Stone Cover: 7 September, 2006

    The latest issue (7 September, 2006) of Rolling Stone featuring Bob Dylan on the cover has a list of fifteen movies that “are primed to kick up an unusually exciting battle” during the fall/Oscar season.

    9 – Casino Royale

    Daniel Craig, Eva Green

    Sacha Baron Cohen, Daniel Craig, Beyonce, and Jack Nicholson

    Sacha Baron Cohen, Daniel Craig, Beyonce, and Jack Nicholson

    You must be up to your ears already reading about how Pierce Brosnan got pushed aside so that a younger actor (Daniel Craig, 38) could step into the role of James Bond. Internet geeks came down hard on Craig’s toned butt. I might have joined them if Craig didn’t have the acting chops to bust some new moves. He does. Check out Layer Cake or Road to Perdition if you don’t believe me. Plus, the idea of doing James Bond: The Early Years sounds promising. If Casino Royale turns out to be the stripped down, badass Bond they’re promising, it might be the best news since Sean Connery played it first and for the ages. Eva Green and Caterina Murino are on Bond-girl duty. Luckily, some things never change.

    A picture of Solange on top of Bond is next to the preview but the best part of the whole thing is the first page of the preview. It has caricatures of Sacha Baron Cohen, Daniel Craig, Beyonce, and Jack Nicholson as their respective characters. Bond is in black tie with a silenced gun in one hand and a cigarette in the other and black hair with the famous comma! The drawing is amazing and is a must have for every Bond fan.

    This issue also has a preview of Audioslave’s new album, Revelations, which will be released on 5 September, 2006.
