THE BACK OF THE BOX
WHAT THE STUDIO WANTS YOU TO KNOW

    Casino Royale introduces James Bond before he holds his license to kill. But Bond is no less dangerous, and with two professional assassinations in quick succession, he is elevated to "00". "M" (Judi Dench), head of the British Secret Service, sends the newly-promoted 007 on his first mission that takes him to Madagascar, the Bahamas and eventually leads him to Montenegro to face Le Chiffre, a ruthless financier under threat from his terrorist clientele, who is attempting to restore his funds in a high-stakes poker game at the Casino Royale. "M" places Bond under the watchful eye of the Treasury official Vesper Lynd. At first skeptical of what value Vesper can provide, Bond's interest in her deepens as they brave danger together. Le Chiffre's cunning and cruelty come to bear on them both in a way Bond could never imagine, and he learns his most important lesson: Trust no one.

THE GEEK BOX
TRIVIA TO IMPRESS YOUR EASILY IMPRESSED FRIENDS

• Back in 1999 Sony wanted to make a remake of Casino Royale as MGM owned the rights to all of the James Bond novels except Royale. However MGM sued Sony to stop the production as it had a copyright on James Bond itself. Sony stopped filming and was forced to pay 5 million to MGM. But just six years later in 2005 Sony bought MGM and the remake was up and rolling.
• Quentin Tarantino had also expressed interest in remaking Casino Royale and had teamed up with Pierce Brosnan to discuss the project. However when MGM announced it would not be bringing Brosnan back Tarantino publicly denounced MGM's decision and saying Brosnan was the only one he would work with and dropped off the project. However Tarantino was never actually hired by MGM or even in talks with him to direct the film.
• Although it is the first book in the series and has been represented in parody and a very early TV movie, this was the last book to be adapted from an Ian Fleming novel. EON studios has now used every book in the series written by Fleming, so future titles will now need to be original scripts or remakes of past Bond films.
• In the scene where Bond's Aston Martin rolls, a record was broken, no other car has been able to be rolled seven full times even when assisted by an air cannon, as was the case with this movie.
• This is the longest James bond film to date, beating out On Her Majesty's Secret Service by 4 minutes.
• This marks the first time in it's entire 44 year run that rain is seen in a James Bond movie.
• The historic Pinewood studios where Bond movies are usually filmed burned down shortly after filming wrapped. This is the second time it has burned down, it first burned down right before filming began in the 1985 Bond movie A View To A Kill.
• Daniel Craig is the youngest person to ever play James Bond, in fact he is the first actor to be younger than 40 to play the role, and gained 20 pounds of muscle for the role.
• Many other actors were considered for the role of James Bond, according to one source at EON productions, more than 200 actors were considered for the role, many of whom had no idea they were being considered, while others knew they had a shot but only found out they did not get the role when it was announced on TV that Daniel Craig had landed the role.
