[QUOTE]Originally posted by B.J.: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Nim: [qb]The name "Casino Royale" is a bit worrisome, though. Anyone know the plot? [/qb][/QUOTE]It was the name of the first James Bond novel by Ian Fleming, first printed in 1953. From http://www.ianflemingcentre.com/index.cfm?page=bond : [QUOTE]"Introducing James Bond: charming, sophisticated, handsome; chillingly ruthless and very deadly. This, the first of Fleming's tales of agent 007, finds Bond on a mission to neutralise a lethal, high-rolling Russian operative called simply 'Le Chiffre' - by ruining him at the baccarat table and forcing his Soviet spymasters to 'retire' him. It seems that lady luck is taken with James - Le Chiffre has hit a losing streak. But some people just refuse to play by the rules, and Bond's attraction to a beautiful female agent leads him to disaster and an unexpected saviour."[/QUOTE]Doesn't sound much different than any other Bond movie. But I think one of the reasons they haven't done this one until now is because there was a Bond parody movie (in 1967) named "Casino Royale" based on this novel. B.J. [/QB][/QUOTE]
