1. Directed by William H. With William Lundigan, Barry Nelson, Peter Lorre, Linda Christian. American spy James Bond must outsmart card wiz and crime boss Le Chiffre while monitoring his actions.
2. James Bond: The name is Bond. Vesper Lynd: So, as charming as you are Mr. Bond, I will be keeping my eye on our government's.

Casino Royale is my favorite James Bond movie and even though, at the time of purchasing this blu - ray, I already had it on DVD, I just had to get it in high - definition to complete my collection as I had the other Daniel Craig Bonds on blu - ray. The movie looks fantastic. The color saturation is incredible, especially upon my first watch.

Casino Royale needs no introduction. It is a pure example of what makes a successful reboot, building upon the foundations of its source material and improving the long running and classic criteria of its predecessors. It excels as an action movie and an origin story for one of England's most notable icons even though this origin tale was released 44 years prior to Bond's first appearance in 1962.

This was because, as mentioned previously, Casino Royale was a reboot; a reimagining of the series which had been following a similar and accustomed narrative structure known as the ‘Bond Formula’ by many viewers.

Before Casino Royale’s conception as a movie, there was a long withstanding discussion as to whether the series should revert to a more grounded and realistic tone. Of course, the movie delivered on this with both financial success and overwhelmingly positive reception.

This leads onto the subject of the movie’s purpose. Why did this reboot of Ian Fleming’s first novel but last to be adapted movie need to be produced in the first place?

6. The Need For A Reboot...

Pierce Brosnan’s portrayal as James Bond was widely accepted as very admirable. He did a fairly good job of merging both the intimidating and suave Sean Connery but the comedic and campy Roger Moore into his own performances. Despite this well-rounded performance as the character of Bond and the financial success of his four movies, Die Another Day acted as a wakeup call for producers, Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson.

The movie grossed $432 million on a $142 million budget, ensuring that there would most definitely be another entry into the adventures of James Bond. But the movie was received relatively poorly due to its overuse of CGI and sloppy writing for its villains and story.

It’s become quite well acknowledged that during an actor’s reign as Bond, there is a time in which the series breaks certain boundaries and the suspension of disbelief that a viewer must maintain is snapped beyond recognition. With Connery, this moment was luckily his last in Diamonds Are Forever, a movie which was compacted with bad humour and campy jokes. This was unique for Connery, who had always been accustomed to dropping a one-liner after disposing of a henchman but always perpetuated his cold and charismatic demeanour. George Lazenby? No. Roger Moore’s movies were always comedic but charming in their own ways.

Yet, the release of Moonraker in 1979 during the midpoint of Moore’s career as Bond proved to be too much to bear for viewers. Unfortunately, Timothy Dalton never progressed too far in his stint as Bond and never made it past his two movies which, at the time, were the closest productions to what a traditional Fleming novel may have looked like if adapted into a movie.

When pressed with these problems, different measures were taken in order to re-stabilise the series. In the case of Connery, he retired from the role and the torch was passed onto Moore who delivered a good performance in the also good Live and Let Die, continuing in the role for another six movies. Moonraker resulted in the adaption of For Your Eyes Only; a title taken from one of Fleming’s short story collections which brought with it a more violent and darker story revolving around The Cold War.

Finally, Brosnan’s performance led us to Casino Royale. But why did Brosnan leave? Why was it necessary?

The Grandhotel Pupp is an historic 228-room luxury hotel originally built between 1896 and 1907 by the Viennese architects Ferdinand Fellner and Hermann Helmer. Though Bond has never visited Karlovy Vary in any of his movies, this hotel poses extensively in 2006 Bond film Casino Royale as the Hotel Splendide in Montenegro where the film’s high-stakes Hold’em game takes place.

  The address of the Vaclav Havel Airport Prague is K letišti 1019/6, Praha-Ruzyně, Praha 6, approximately a 25-minute ride north-west from the city centre. International code of the airport is PRG. Czech government decided to change the name of Prague Ruzyne airport to Václav Havel Airport Prague on October 5, 2012, the anniversary of the birthday of Vaclav Havel. The Czech name Letiste Vaclava Havla Praha.

  Czech Republic
  Most of Casino Royale was shot in the beautiful and relatively inexpensive Czech Republic -- primarily in Prague’s fabled Barrandov Studios, known as the 'Hollywood of the East' for its use in films including Mission Impossible, the Bourne Identity and Amadeus. However there are only a few opportunities every year to tour the studio and its costumes department.

  A more accessible location is Prague’s open-to-the-public Strahov Monastery library, which stands in for an interior committee room of London’s Parliament in a scene with M, played by Judi Dench. The city's international airport, Ruzyne, (and the Nassau airport in the Bahamas) features in the film as the airport in Miami, Florida. The exterior of Prague’s Ministry of Transport and the interior of Vitkov Monument’s history museum in Vitkov Park were the shooting locations of the film’s Miami Body Worlds exhibit. And the lobby of the Venetian hotel where 007 and Bond girl Vesper Lynd stay is actually Prague's National Museum on Wenceslas Square, currently closed for reconstruction and scheduled to reopen in June 2016.

  About a two hour drive west of Prague -- faster if you are a fictional British secret agent -- is the picturesque Bohemian spa-town of Karlovy Vary, which takes on the role of the small European country of Montenegro, part of Yugoslavia in Ian Fleming’s day. The city’s most historic and beautiful spa, the-closed-to-the-public Lázně I (or Spa 1, formerly known as Kaiserbad), located on Mírové náměstí, was used as the exterior of the titled Casino Royale. The outside is all a traveller is likely to see of it now; except for rare occasions, it has been closed for the last decade awaiting funds for renovation. Just a few hundred metres away is the high-end Grandhotel Pupp, which served as Bond and Lynd’s Hotel Splendide in the film. If you had your heart set on actually going to Montenegro, there is a real Hotel Splendid in the coastal town of Becici, with posh rooms overlooking the Adriatic Sea.
