Visiting Casino Royale for the very first time :-)))))

Oh... my... God.

I just saw the teaser trailer for Casino Royale, and the movie looks... well, how should I put it... FANTASTIC!

It seems like a completely original Bond experience; at the same time, though, it looks like a throwback to the 60's films, as far as the gritty action and retro aspects go. Stylewise, based on what I saw, I would describe it as arthouse, with a hint of techno and a splash of mod.

The trailer can be found on the official site, www.sonypictures.com/movies/casinoroyale No official banners yet, but I am hoping for some when the site launches.

I am looking forward to seeing Daniel Craig as James Bond. The man is an awesome actor, as well as extremely handsome. I also love the choices for Bond girls and for the villain. Both Eva Green and Caterina Murino are stunning and I always hear good things about Green's acting. I guess I should have a date with The Dreamers very soon. Mads Mikkelsen, who plays Le Chiffre, has a very cool, otherworldly look to him, I find. Martin Campbell is directing, and he did an amazing job with GoldenEye. To sum it up, the movie looks unmissable.

A big thank you to tylerandjack, who posted the link on iMDB. :-)
