Here's the new trailer for Casino Royale:

Looks good. I feel a little better about Craig being Bond after seeing it. I still think Clive Owen would've been better, especially after seeing him in Pink Panther.

Besides the fact that he is blonde, I have liked Daniel Craig in everything I have seen him in (although it has mostly been character roles). This movie looks good to me. It CANNOT be worse than the last one.

As usual, Dan is right on the money. That last Bond movie was right down there with View to a Kill and On Her Majesty's Secret Service.

I have high hopes for the new one. Fans will recall that there is an old black and white version of Casino Royale...techinically the first Bond movie ever made. It was also a good book (and Ian Fleming's first in the series).

Yes, the last Bond movie was pretty dang horrible, although I still think Brosnan was a very good 007.
Casino Royale does look good. Looks much better than that weird spoof that came out in the 60's, and I've never gotten my hands on the original. Wasn't it a BBC production? So I am excited to finally see Bond's first adventure.
As for the hair color issue, that really doesn't bother me. At first the looks of Daniel Craig didn't seem very James Bondish, but after seeing the trailer I have high hopes. November seems so far away! Oh well Superman comes out soon that might tide me over until then.
