  7. David Arnold On The Casino Royale Score

    By Devin Zydel on 2006-08-17

    News had been traveling through the 007 grapevine that sections of the famous On Her Majesty’s Secret Service theme would be featured in the score for Casino Royale.

    Thanks to an update on David Arnold’s official website, this rumour has been proved untrue. According to the update, Casino Royale is most similar to the On Her Majesty’s Secret Service score in that it doesn’t simply rely on the James Bond theme. Rather, new themes have been added. The On Her Majesty’s Secret Service is not included in the Casino Royale score.

    Additionally, Arnold has finished recording the title song ‘You Know My Name’ with Chris Cornell in London. It has since been remixed in LA.

  8. Fans Say "Good Luck Daniel Craig"

    By The CBn Team on 2006-08-16

    Bond fans are angry at the press certain negative sites have garnered, and seek to redress the balance. After reactionary sites were launched following the announcement of Daniel Craig as the sixth official incarnation of James Bond, the general consensus has been that fans are appalled by EON Productions/Sony Pictures’ choice. However, CommanderBond.net has founded DanielCraigIsBond.com in an effort to allow true fans of Her Majesty’s Secret Servant to express their delight at the casting of Craig.

    “We were aware through comments made by Daniel Craig and the worldwide press recently that the opinion was the fans were upset by his casting”, said CommanderBond.net/DanielCraigIsBond.com founder David Winter “however the majority of our community at CBn are excited by the prospect of a reinvented 007. We just wanted to give them a voice.”

    DanielCraigIsBond.com was set up in reaction to the ten month battery Casino Royale has received in the press since “CraigNotBond.com” was launched by those disgruntled by the dismissal of Pierce Brosnan as Bond, ordering fans to boycott the film, “but CommanderBond.net has always had a ‘let’s wait and see’ policy”, Winter professes, “and we are now getting increasingly thrilled by what we are seeing”.

    DanielCraigIsBond.com was launched on Friday 11th August and has already received a lot of attention from fans wishing to express their excitement for Casino Royale, the 21st James Bond film by producers Eon Productions. The web site has had messages of support for Daniel Craig from people all around the world; Argentina, Asia, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Cayman Islands, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Malaysia, Norway, Portugal, Switzerland, Trinidad, the UK and the US.

    The official Casino Royale website blog has been updated by ‘Yarborough.’ Coverage this time centers on the train sequence in the film and Bond girl Eva Green.

    The Pendolino, the train which is featured in the film, will be the location of the introduction to the leading lady of the film: Vesper Lynd (Eva Green). According to the report, the train will be traveling to the Casino Royale in Montenegro in the film and will be the site of several ‘verbal sparring matches’ between Green’s Vesper and Daniel Craig’s James Bond.

    ‘Barbara Broccoli and Michael Wilson really helped me with the character. They talked me through the story, which is quite complicated on the first reading…’ says Green of the role. ‘She’s [Vesper] quite complex and it’s difficult to see through her. That’s why I think James Bond gets attracted to her, because he can’t really see through her.’
