Looks like they have yet another new Bond. It is difficult to tell much, but it seems to be a prequel to the entire series (Casino Royale was the first book). It makes me wonder why they are using Judi Dench as M =P

The actor they have seems seems to be very close to Connery, and the trailer makes it look like this movie is going back to the roots of the series; gambling, bitches, killing, and style! I don't know if I am right on this, but I hope I am. My favourite movies in the series tend to be older ones: OHMSS, From Rusia With Love, Live and Let Die; though I do count The Living Daylights among my favourites as well (80's). One thing for certain, this guy does look better than Brosnan, though this new guy I guess is getting a lot of hate already (possibly because of his hair colour which is lighter than what Bond is supposed to have); I am not really sure, I have only heard about the criticism. Personally, I think he looks to be an improvement over Brosnan who just didn't seem to have the right kind of presence for the role; in my opinion.

My understanding is that it's going to basically be Bond: Year One. So it might not be quite the Bond you like so much.

I've read the book =)

Casino Royale is actually among my favourites in the book series.

It looks like they're staying true to the story. I figure they would have adapted it into the current storyline; most Bond movies based on books are relatively changed up from the original story. Right now, I am going to guess that if they stay close enough to the book that they're going to have a winner in my book. But like most movies we haven't seen yet, it's a wait and see approach.

The new Bond is a bloke by the name of Daniel Craig. Watch Layer Cake or Munich, or one of the Tomb Raider movies, I think he's in there.
