Here's a new article on the upcoming James Bond movie.  Oh by the way be a good chap and visit our James Bond Posters section after you read the article of course.

Casino Royale, the 21st James Bond film, is due to start shooting shortly and is to be released November 2006. It is already a hot topic amongst fans of the 007 franchise, with the new Bond, Daniel Craig, generating much debate amongst fans.

Fans of the original Ian Fleming books will be hoping for a more authentic
portrayal of both the character and the book. The producers seem to have been
reluctant to take a risk with the formula in the past, presumably for purely
financial reasons. The time has come now were they, perhaps, have no choice
other than to bring in a new era.

We hope to see a more realistic and gritty film, less gadgets and explosions,
more dialogue and less of the quips. Something of an opportunity was lost when
the very real possibility of a Tarantino/Brosnan collaboration fell through. The
director of Goldeneye has returned and is charged with delivering us a new Bond.
His work on Goldeneye resurrected the franchise so he has the qualifications to
do it again. Speculation is, as ever, rife as to leading ladies and Bond girls.
The character of Vesper Lynd will be the most crucial female role and we expect
it to go either to a very big name or a complete unknown.

Time will tell whether they have the courage to make a film worthy of the
original creation of Ian Fleming - let's hope they do.

Movieguys's take on article
Very interesting and I respect Mr. Collins view , but me personally I like all the gadgets. I've never known a James Bond movie without it, and while it's intriguing to think of what Tarantino might have done. I'm not quite sure I'd want Bond to go all bloody and gory. Give me high tech gadgets, the cool Bond theme, awesome cars, and those funny one liners any day over blood and guts.
