New Casino Royale trailer up

Uh...exactly how is this supposed to be different than the last few crappy Bond flicks? You could cut and paste Pierce Brosnan and Halle Berry's heads in there and claim it was a preview of Die Another Day.

I'm looking forward to this one... Daniel Craig is awesome... reminds me of Steve McQueen...

Then why don't we ever see a scene like this when he runs into old archenemies:
"Who the hell are you?"
"I'm the new James Bond. MI6 retooled the name."
"Oh . . What happened to the other guy? Did I kill him with the laser?"
"No. He broke his wrist. He's out on disability."
"Terrible."
"Right. Can happen to anyone in this business. Running up a stair case, tumbling with the ladies. You just never know what's going to get you. Still, his bad luck turned out good for me."
"I guess. So- do you want to come in again and we start over, or what?"

Funny, I never thought of "James Bond" as a position or granted name. It's just... movie logic. Nothing else makes sense in the world of James Bond anymore, why should his agelessness? I just accept that Britain's top agent has been chasing bad guys and bedding the ladies nonstop since the 60's.

It should be noted that Casino Royale is the original Bond story. Expect much more retro-sixties Connery-like fistfighting, fewer gadgets, and an overall vintage vibe. I'm a Bondophile and like Daniel Craig in the role. He puts a little Jack Bauer into the role for me.

I had Blofeld in mind. He's also played by a bunch of different actors. As is Felix Leiter. Seems easier to just take Quintin's route and put it up to movie magic.

Looks hot. Of course, I've loved every Bond movie ever made. Even the ones that have stunk. Because ... well, one has to, hasn't one?
I agree that the new, edgier bond shows promise. It is, after all, the original flavor of the character from the books, and also the direction in which Timothy Dalton tried to take the character. He just wasn't a very good actor. This new chap seems to have the chops though.

Sounds good. This will be my first return trip to the theater since X-Men 3 ruined me on movie theaters.

I hate going to theaters. Hate, hate, hate. The last movie I saw at the theater was Silent Hill and I swore off going to a theater ever again because of that little experience. But I caved in and saw Casino Royale today. It was completely worth it. An excellent flick and Daniel Craig is an excellent James Bond.
I dunno. This Bond seems a bit more ruthless. I kind of like it.

*EDIT* Evidently I have been out of the loop as a Bond fan, it seems I am not the only one put off by the blonde locks.

Looks cool, and I want to be James Bond again. That girl, whoever it was, was hot.

With some effort, I got it working.
I'm still looking forward to it, blonde haired bonde or not. Who cares what color his hair is? This still looks like a better movie than the last few have been.
The chick is Eva Green. She played the Queen of Jerusalem in Kingdom of Heaven.
The bad guy, while mostly an unkown here in the US, is Mads Mikkelsen. I believe he's big sh*t over in Denmark, or one of the other various European countries. He did play the only cool character in that version of King Arthur that had Clive Owen in it. The only reason I remember his name is because.. hey, that's my last name too! Not too often you see it spelled our way if you see it at all

I think it looks excellent, the series could use a good shake-up.
Certis beat me to it. - Elysium
The first trailer left me feeling pretty cold about the change in direction of the Bond franchise and this one sort of leaves me with mixed feelings. It "looks" cool, and that theme always gets me jazzed up, but the Bond movies of the past twenty or so years just seem to be generic action-movie scripts with Bond character names thrown in. There's a certain panache that has been missing since Timothy Dalton was misguidedly cast.

I am looking forward to it as well, and will be there opening day (as I was for last 8 or so Bond flicks). I guess my thought is that would it of been so hard to dye his hair black?
/Sarcasm = 1
I am not looking forward to the Super Special Edition where they have ILM to digitally change his hair color (and add a minority sidekick) to allow continuity in the Bond Universe just because of fanboy outcry.

Continuity? Hahahaha. Me, I don't care a bit about the color of his hair. I haven't watched the trailer yet.

Indeed.

Song of the Week: ...on Facebook...
Prediction: There will be zero change in the Bond franchise. They went a shade darker in one of the Brosnan movies, but there they stopped. And then went back to being completely, utterly over the top silly in the very next movie (a korean who turns into an englishman using . . . science! Give me a break).
I'll watch this one, but I doubt we'll see anything truly new.
It looks great to me and I look forward to seeing if it's as gritty as the trailer. Daniel Craig seems like an inspired choice. Definitely a return to the Connery style Bond. I had doubts about a blonde Bond but the guy's hair is pretty dark for blonde and you don't notice it at all after a couple minutes.
I'm still right here
Giving blood, keeping faith
What continuity? Maybe it's because I'm not a big... bondophile? into bondage? whatever... but I never thought we were supposed to think it was the same person. I always thought that the name, like the designation, was assigned.

Sorry, I thought the sarcasm was implied. I edited the post.
