Casino Royale Cast
Based on the 1953 novel Casino Royale by Ian Fleming, it is the first Bond film to take its title from an Ian Fleming novel or short story since 1987’s The Living Daylights, and the first based directly on any of Fleming’s writing since 1989’s License to Kill (although that several tentpole films, such as its predecessor Die Kale Day, have included parts of Fleming’s story). It is also considered the first more or less faithful adaptation of a full Fleming novel since 1973’s Live and Let Die as all adaptations used only selected elements from Fleming’s books, being based on short stories. (requiring major expansion), or were original works. This film marks the third screen adaptation of Casino Royale, which was originally a 1954 TV episode and a 1967 movie; However, according to EON Productions, the 2006 version is the only “official” adaptation of the Fleming story.
Daniel Craig Workout: His Routine For James Bond, From Casino Royale To No Time To Die
In the film, Bond must defeat criminal banker Le Chiffre in a witty game of poker to stop his syndicate from financing terrorism. He was assisted by CIA agent Felix Leiter and Treasury coordinator Vesper Lind.
In Prague, Czech Republic, James Bond tracks down the head of MI6, Dryden, who is selling secrets to the enemy for profit. They talk about what it takes to be a Double-O agent (one requirement is to do two murders) and Bond casually tells Dryden that his spy liaison, Fisher is dead, and “he’s no good”. The dialogue is interspersed with black and white shots of Bond and Dryden fighting in the men’s room. Bond finally pushes the man’s face into a blunt plate and holds him there until he falls to the ground, apparently dead. Dryden points a gun at Bond. “Shame. We barely knew each other.” He pulls the trigger, but James fires the weapon. “I know where you keep your gun. I think that’s a thing.” Dryden continues to insult Bond, asking him if he feels any remorse or guilt for killing Fisher. Link remains unemotional, his face expressionless. Dryden tells Bond “Not to worry, the second it is-” and Bond kills Dryden. Bond puts the gun away, saying, “Yes, very big.” (Though not explicitly stated, Bond finds Dryden’s murder, the second such murder, “much easier” than the first.) In a flashback, Fisher recovers from Bond’s attempt to drown him and retrieve his gun. The body instantly transitions into the iconic “barrel” chain. Bond wanders off and shoots the man. Blood flows down the frame, triggering the opening titles.
The scene shifts to Uganda, where the terrorist group known as the Lord’s Resistance Army meets Le Chiffre, a private bank that works for terrorist groups around the world. The broker of the transaction is mr. White, who invest their money and deal with stocks to get 100% return on investment. The LRA, represented by a man named Stephen Obano, agreed to loan Le Chiffre for his own nefarious purposes.
In Madagascar, Bond works with another MI6 agent, Carter, on the terrorist Mulaka, who bets on a fight between a cobra and a mongoose. Carter, inexperienced, is exposed after Malacca finds the cell phone the terrorists took from the scene. Bond chases Molaka, an experienced “free runner”, who leads Bond through a building, through several elevators, and finally to the Nambuto Embassy where he seeks asylum. Bail was charged to the embassy, in direct violation of international law and orders, and they arrested Malacca. Bond was fighting in the halls of the embassy and found himself surrounded by armed guards. The ambassador appears and orders Bond to let Mollaka go. Bond shoots Malaga and a nearby gas tank and survives the explosion. He also stole the bag that Mola was carrying. Searching his bag, he finds a cell phone and a bomb. Bond briefly scans the man’s messages, and notices one with an American phone number and the word “ellipsis”. Bond grabs the phone.
Casino Royale’ Turns 10, Part 3: In Praise Of The Love Story That Unfolds Between James Bond And Vesper Lynd
Back at MI6, M is enraged that 007’s violence has been caught on tape at the Nambutu Embassy. Bond later infiltrates M’s house and hacks into her high-level pass to trace the source of the cell phone call. When M enters, she is shocked and suggests appropriate protocol and behaviour. She thinks it wrong to give her the status of 00. Bond assures him that “00’s life is short, so your mistakes will be short”. M told him that “pride and self-awareness rarely go hand in hand” and wanted him to remove himself from the equation when he’s on a mission. She also tells him to go on a short vacation until she decides how best to deal with him. When Bond leaves, M tells Bond never to break into her house again (something he would do again in Skyfall).
Bond finds out that Mollaka’s call is from the Bahamas, so he goes there to investigate who called and why. He ends up finding a middleman, Alex Demetrius, who was working for Le Chiffre and is hired to find someone who can carry out Le Chiffre’s job. Bond meets Dmitrios and plays poker with him, winning an Aston Martin DB5 in the process. Bond uses Aston to lure him into a romantic evening with Demetrius’ scorned wife, Solange, to obtain information on her husband. She tells Bond that Demetrius is going to Miami.
Bond follows him as he confronts Demetrius, after seeing him leave a bag for someone to pick up later. Bond kills Demetrius when she grabs him with a knife; However, the briefcase goes missing and Bond follows the man, Carlos Nikolic, who has been assigned to work for Mollaka. Bond follows Carlos to Miami International Airport, where he takes a security suit from his bag and puts it on. He sneaks into the airport’s security area, and Bond follows, realizing that the “ellipsis” is the gate’s security code. M contacts Bond to tell Le Chiffre that Carlos is going to destroy the Skyfleet prototype. This type is the largest passenger aircraft in the world and will be canceled by Skyfleet Aeronautics. Carlos sets off the building’s emergency sprinkler system to cause a diversion, forcing everyone off the field and onto the sidewalk. Carlos puts an explosive device in the wrench of a fuel tanker and begins pushing it towards the plane. However, Bond manages to jump onto the tanker. The two men got into a heated fight on the runway while being chased by Miami-Dade police. Finally, Carlos jumps out of the car and Bond is barely able to stop the tanker from crashing into the plane. Carlos smiles as Bond is arrested and the trial begins. However, Bond finds Carlos with a small explosive device and ties it to Carlos’ belt during the scuffle, and Carlos ends up killing himself by accident.
Back in Nassau, Bond learns that Solange has been murdered, when MI6 find her body engulfed in a fishing net. M. explains that Le Chiffre tortured and killed her because she was left alone to live, and he assumes she spoke. Le Chiffre’s plan was to “short sell” the hundreds of millions of dollars in the Skyfleet market and, by destroying its brand, cause its stock to plummet and drive it into bankruptcy. Thanks to Bond, Le Chiffre lost more than $101 million. Now a high-profile man, Le Chiffre must find another way to make money so his investors won’t kill him. He sets up a game of poker in Montenegro for 10 players, with a buy-in of $10 million each plus a $5 million buy-back if they lose all their money. M informs Bond about the poker game at Casino Royale, in Montenegro, and agrees to let Bond continue the activity because he is the best player in the service. M also attaches a homing device to Bond’s left arm to track him anywhere.
Vesper Lynd (eva Green)
The British government put money on it and sent Vesper Lynd, an under-secretary of the British Treasury, to watch over the bond and pay it, not to go if it lost money. They talk to each other on the train, and Vesper comments on his account
