I enjoyed the fact that the James Bond books get to the plot and don’t waste pages on describing a tree. In something of a first for the long-running franchise, 'Casino Royale,' appropriately named and loosely adapted from author Ian Flemings first 'James Bond' novel, gave Bond a proper origin story. That is because the movie creates a stunning setting that the book does not do because the book is short. Produced by Martin Campbell, the movie went on to be a blockbuster hit.Ĭompare that to the novel which is brilliant in its own right but lacks the detail of the movie. The acting, script, and auro the movie gave was unlike anything else. Like many people, when I hear or read Casino Royale, I think of the iconic movie with Daniel Craig. Can Bond stop Le Chiffre from winning and will he be able to survive against Le Chiffre’s cunning? Commentary It is more than just a game and a lot of moving parts behind the scenes. In the 2006 film version of Casino Royale, Vesper Lynd is a foreign liaison agent from the HM Treasurys Financial Action Task Force assigned to make sure that. The game gets intense fast and Bonds doesn’t realize what he signed up for. Other countries are also participating in this game of baccarat in order to stop Le Chiffre including the United States and the French. Bond is assigned a female companion named Vesper Lynd who is the personal assistant to the Head of Section S of the Soviet Union.
