Casino Royale – Official Website Report #19

The official Casino Royale website blog has been updated by ‘Yarborough.’ Coverage this time centers on executive producer Anthony Waye and the tricks of of setting up a helicopter shoot in one of Casino Royale‘s scenes.

Dealing with customs problems and bad weather, Anthony Waye had to deal with the task of setting up the helicopter shot of Bond’s yacht in the film arriving in Venice.

‘Everything has to go by boat or you walk. So you’ve got to first of all train the crew how to get to their location each day. Very complicated. We’ve had maps drawn of how to get to the location. But I think they make things even more complicated.’

Read the entire report here on the official James Bond website.

'James Bond and Philosophy' Pushed To October

James Bond and Philosophy, edited by James B. South and Jacob M. Held has been pushed to a 28 October 2006 release date.

Originally slated to be released on the 28th of September, this new 007 book can currently be pre-ordered at a discounted price from both amazon.com and amazon.co.uk.

This new Bond book is made up of 15 essays covering the ‘hidden issues in Bond’s world’ as PGW reports. At 320 pages in length, the book will be published by the Open Court Publishing Company. The description blurb follows:

“Bond. James Bond.” Since Sean Connery first uttered that iconic phrase in Dr. No, more than one quarter of the world’s population has seen a 007 film. Witty and urbane, Bond seduces and kills with equal ease–often, it seems, with equal enthusiasm. This enthusiasm, coupled with his freedom to do what is forbidden to everyone else, evokes fascinating philosophical questions. Here, 15 witty, thought-provoking essays discuss hidden issues in Bond’s world, from his carnal pleasures to his license to kill. Among the lively topics explored are Bond’s relation to existentialism, including his graduation “beyond good and evil”; his objectification of women; the paradox of breaking the law in order to ultimately uphold it like any “stupid policeman”; the personality of 007 in terms of Plato’s moral psychology; and the Hegelian quest for recognition evinced by Bond villains. A reference guide to all the Bond movies rounds out the book’s many pleasures.
