BOND IN ACTION – CASINO ROYALE

INTRODUCTION

Casino Royale is the twenty-first movie of Eon production and debuted movie for the star where he first played the character of Mi6 agent. This film is based on Ian Fleming’s first spy movie. Most of the 007 fans didn’t aware that this Eon production movie is the third adaptation of the novel, it was first adopted in the same TV show in 1954 and then in a comedy spy movie in 1967. This is the first film after 10 years not starring Pierce Brosnan, lots of criticism had been made on the Daniel Craig selection as James Bond in Casino Royale, but he stunned everyone through his performance in his first appearance as Bond. He also made the movie to rock at the box office and it becomes the highest-earning movie of the franchise with the grossing of $599 Million, and remain until the release of Skyfall.
