To be honest with you, I’m not entirely sure if I want to see this new Bond movie. “Casino Royale” introduces the world to the latest Bond in the long line of neverending Bonds (I think they churn these guys out of a British basement somewhere), this time the blonde, surly Daniel Craig. If you’ve seen Craig on TV, you know this guy has none of the charm of Sean Connery or Pierce Brosnan. Dude’s got a stick up his ass, actually. But here he is, the new Bond, and the latest flick (#551 I think) is called “Casino Royale”.
James Bond’s first 007 mission takes him to Madagascar, where he is to spy on a terrorist Mollaka. Not everything goes as planned and Bond decides to investigate, independently of the M16 agency, in order to track down the rest of the terrorist cell. Following a lead to the Bahamas, he encounters Dimitrios and his girlfriend, Solange. He learns that Dimitrios is involved with Le Chiffre, 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. M16 assigns 007 to play against him, knowing that if Le Chiffre loses, it will destroy his organization. ‘M’ places Bond under the watchful eye of the beguiling Vesper Lynd. 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 Matthis, M16’s local field agent, and Felix Leiter, 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.
Check out the new Bond on November 17th, 2006. But before that, take a gander at the pics below, then check out the trailer here.
