First official shot of Craig's second Bond movie.
The film is currently undergoing protests from animal rights activists due to the nature of a climatic chase through the Sienna Aquaducts and a vast horse stampede.

Sweet! Casino Royale was really good I thought. I was a bit surprised by the romance but after she died it all made sense. Craig is one of the best Bond's IMO. Should be a good movie
I thought Casino Royale was unreal, and that Craig beats out just about every bond actor. Minus Connery, of course.
I'm always excited for a new Bond film. :D

I remember reading on RT awhile back they wanted to tone Bond down again already and make it more 'family friendly" again. I thought Casino Royale was one of the best Bond movies in awhile so I'd hope not but I'll wait and see.

Man, I've been a fan of the Bond films since the age of nine or ten, and I wish the producers the best of luck in producing #22. But with Casino Royale making huge coin, blowing people's minds and converting even non-fans into Bond junkies, they've certainly got a tough act to follow.
I mean, damn...I hope they're up to the challenge.

aw man nice! I haven't see this yet, but I loved Casino Royale and this whole revamp the Bond films are taking. I know Daniel Craig was up against actors like Clive Owen for the role but I think it turned out well
Where the romance is concerned they did a really good job showing the set up for the personality of future Bond

I wouldn't be at all surprised. Damn studio bigshots...

Bond 22 Less Serious, More Comedic; Bond 23 Set for 2010
After the overtly gritty and serious Casino Royale, I personally predicted that after a few dark Bond movies they'd try to pump in goofy humor again. Turns out they are, and could actually start as early as the next Bond.
Yeah that kinda threw me off. But funny isn't bad I just wish that didn't mean it still couldn't be serious and gritty.

Exactly how I felt. Poor James:cry:

I'll admit I was one of the non-bond fans. Goldeneye being the only exception and that was mostly because I loved the n64 game. Now, I will undoubtably pay to see this next Bond film and purchase it if it's any good.
Where they went with Royale was the good choice. Family friendly bond... no. I want an even better Bond movie this time around.

That is really not what I wanted to hear!

Yeah Casino Royale was a really good movie. My only real complaint was that it took place in the present. That really didn't make any sense considering how long the movies have been being made. If it was supposed to be a prequel then it should've at least taken place in the 90s or something. Looking foward to this one though.

I think it was ment to be a re-birth in a sense for a totally new Bond series. I mean it was a re-make in a sense. Even if the first movie was totally different.

Casino Royale rebooted the franchise, the other moves don't count

Yeah, I found that a bit irksome at first, too. But then I realized all the other Bond movies have been set in the present, too -- which doesn't make much sense, considering Bond ran around in what was clearly the early 60s and is still running around in the present day, forty years later.
So continuity has never been a real big priority in the Bond flicks. I just sit back and enjoy the ride.

Wow, so you also did'nt realize that this film was a smegging reboot like every other sane fan?

I can understand where you're coming from but frankly, I didn't care. I thought the movie more than compensated for that bit of confusion. And I forgot about it not 5 minutes in.
And Like Zarius said, it was a reboot and I thought it worked well.

Honestly, I would put Craig over Connery. I just loved the movie that much. Reinvented the series for me.

And Moore would school both their asses in a back-alley brawl. 'Nuff said.
