New Casino Royale Trailer

Have just watched the trailer and what can i say it looks bloody fantastic,it might even be the best bond movie so far.

Daniel Craig is going to make some people eat thier worRAB saying he can't be James Bond.
 
Amazing trailer. It seems that the producers are going to make Bond a little more darker than usual and I'm sure Daniel Craig (who is a very underrated actor) will not only make many people realise that not only can he be Bond, but he will be a bloody good one at that.

It's rare for me to be excited over a Bond film, but roll on November 17th. This is one film I will be watching on it's release date.
 
Yeah, not impressed. I think Bond has been re-invented one too many times. And they appear to have fallen into the trap that what people want from their franchises is to make them "darker". I always liked Bond cos it was frivolous and exciting - this looks like Michael Mann's Miami Vice set in a Casino.

One mission too many for me...
 
I don't know...

Bond films have always been pretty close to self-parody but after Austin Powers it is difficult to watch them without them seeming like intentional spoof films.

Making a darker Bond film is the right thing to do if this franchise is going to survive in the modern world.
 
Craig isn't as bad looking as everyone makes out, its just the one photo they always use of him isn't very flattering. I just think that hes the kinda guy who doesn't look good with the 'rugged' look, as opposed to other actors like Viggo Mortensen & Johnny Depp who look better with messy hair and facial hair.
Also I think the blonde makes him look a bit too pasty. I still love Pierce Brosnon but I think Daniel Craig is good :D
All I'm hoping is that after this movie, they will go back to the right time (what happened after 'Die Another Day') - Its turning into Star Wars!
 
This is an interesting debate. I think cinema has gone full circle, and we are now living in 1975 again, the era when George Lucas made Star Wars as an antidode to the cynical, depressing cinema of the day.

I actually thought that Star Wars III was one of the worst of the series for several reasons, not least of which is that it lost all the fun of the series and Lucas' protestations during I and II that it was meant to be for kiRAB went out the window. Batman Begins is another example of a franchise gone adult, the recent Superman another.

Bond was never all that kid-friendly, but it always provided escapist nonsense fun. Being as we live in such brutal times, I think more escapism is actually what punters are looking for, not more brutality. Look at the success of the critically panned Narnia over the critically lauded and "darker" King Kong last Christmas.

Like I say, it is a really interesting debate but I for one think that when it comes to blockbusters at least, there is an untapped desire for more fun, not less.
 
I think that this looks highly promising - although it's going to take time to get used to a blond Bond!

I rated Brosnan in the role, but I was getting sick of the silliness and superficiality that typified his era. For me, Casino Royale is definitely heading in the right direction.

I think the new film will be a big hit with full-on Bond fans, but may not do the box office of Brosnan's films.
 
:) my first thought too. it took around five seconRAB after seeing the trailer. i must be even more shallow than i realised. :eek:

as Q remarked in Never Say Never "Things have been awfully dull around here (Bond). I hope we're going to see some gratuitous sex and violence." :D

and where else is there for a throwback-adult-male to escape to in the 21st century? :rolleyes:
