Casino Royale 2006 Intro
2. No, I’m Just Looking
Daniel Craig remains one of the most controversial casting choices for the role of James Bond, continuing to divide audiences and die-hard fans alike. His casting in Casino Royale created such a stir that the paparazzi descended on the production whenever possible.

Starring Daniel Craig, Daud Shah as Fisher and Malcolm Sinclair as Dryden. Full pretitles scene from Casino Royale - Bond Gets His Double O Status; includes. Casino Royale is part of a series of films that centers on the charismatic fictional character, James Bond. The character was created by the late English author Ian Fleming and his legacy continues even after his death.The James Bond character and Casino Royale story were solely patterned in Ian Fleming’s novel which was only the third novel adapted for the movie. About the Soundtrack: This is quite literally a movie soundtrack, meaning it features the background music from the film ' Casino Royale (2-Disc Widescreen Edition)'.The tracks on this 74 minute album are in the same sequence as the tracks appeared in the film. However, as Daniel Craig took up the role with a new adaptation of Casino Royale (2006), the character’s history was formally restarted, establishing him definitively as a post-Cold War hero born in 1968.
Craig’s emergence from the crystal blue sea on New Providence Island was deliberately meant to recall Ursula Andress’s entrance as Honey Ryder in Dr. No (1962) and Halle Berry’s introduction as Jinx in Die Another Day.
However, out of shot, the crew were fending off the press who were trying to snap images of the new Bond - even taking to the water in boats - threatening to interfere with filming.
Additionally, Bond was to have been swimming when he first saw Solange on the beach, but Craig had to stand up when he hit a sandbank underwater. The “mistake” transformed the actor into an international sex symbol after it became a key marketing image for the film.

Casino Royale Movie 2006
After the conceptual bloat of the late Pierce Brosnan films, the coming of Daniel Craig was supposed to be a return to basics: a post-bubble austerity program for a franchise struggling with its longstanding reliance on subprime special effects and gimmicks.

And the intro sequence here is extremely basic. Gone are the massive action set-pieces, the mind-boggling stunts, the beautiful women, the cars, the gadgets. Instead, we watch, in flashback, the story of how Bond first earned his “00” status — his license to kill.
But what it lacks in flash, it makes up for in film-school artsiness. The whole sequence — in which a crooked MI6 station chief arrives at his Prague office to find Bond waiting for him — is shot in hi-contrast black and white, with Hitchcockian camera angles and stark, shallow-focus closeups. It’s quite beautiful, really. But we didn’t come here for a master class in building cinematic tension; we want to see Bond kick some ass. Which he does, satisfyingly, in a flashback-within-the-flashback—but again, it’s a stripped down fight scene, two guys going mano a mano in a dingy restroom.
The intro manages the nice trick of highlighting that this is not only a new Bond movie but that this is a new Bond, one we haven’t seen before. Pierce Brosnan’s 007 had a family motto, while Roger Moore’s drank espresso and had an exclusive bootmaker. This Bond, however, seems to have no such upper-class pretensions. He’s a cold-eyed killer: tougher, meaner and a lot more rough around the edges.
