James Bond's first "007" mission leads him to Le Chiffre (Mads Mikkelsen), banker to the world's terrorists. In order to stop him, and bring down the terrorist network, Bond must beat Le Chiffre in a high-stakes poker game at Casino Royale. Bond is initially annoyed when a beautiful British Treasury official, Vesper Lynd (Eva Green), is assigned to deliver his stake for the game and watch over the government's money. But, as Bond and Vesper survive a series of lethal attacks by Le Chiffre and his henchmen, a mutual attraction develops leading them both into further danger and events that will shape Bond's life forever.

The story of Adam & Eve is so prevalent, it's shocking that a romantic comedy featuring them hasn't been made. Disney, it seems, is intent on changing that. You see, a pre-PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN Disney wouldn't think a romcom featuring mankind's Biblical...

March 19, 2007: Kung Fu remake?:
Talk of yet another TV show being remade into a feature film is enough to induce anyone's gag reflex but hearing David Carradine discuss the possibility of a "Kung Fu" remake is, at least to me, strangely compelling. He recently told Dan Epstein over at...

May 30, 2006: Bond 22 news already?:
You know, I expected a deluge of rumors concerning the 22nd James Bond film following the release of CASINO ROYALE or perhaps even just preceding the film's release but to have

April 20, 2006: Craig's post-Bond role:
For what seems like years now, we've been talking about Daniel Craig becoming the first blonde James Bond (his hair being one of many things we've all
discussed about Craig assuming the role after Pierce Brosnan) in the upcoming CASINO ROYALE . But...
April 20, 2006: First Le Chiffre pic:
I don't know too much about Mads Mikkelsen, who plays James Bond's main villain Le Chiffre in the upcoming CASINO ROYALE , but word on the street is that he's one bad ass mofo and a
damn good actor to boot. Not only that but one or two ladies have...

is returning to supernatural horror with a starring role in Dan Myrick's (BLAIR WITCH PROJECT...
March 29, 2006: New Royale footage:
Update: I've been informed that the footage is probably from Jonathan Ross' movie review show "Film 2006" and not his late night talk show. Thanks to Nas for the heads up.

March 3, 2006: Hottie Recap:
The keywords this week were "nipples", "playboy" and "lawsuit". They didn't happen in that order but they pertain to particular news items that sent the interweb into a
frenzy. Unfortunately, there wasn't too movement on the "lezzie" front but, like the...
March 3, 2006: New Royale pics:
Thanks to cool dude ACB who alerted us to some new CASINO
ROYALE pics at some site named "20 Min". They're nothing special, really, just new 007 Daniel Craig and hottie Caterina Murino getting out of Bond's patented
Aston Martin presumably at the...
February 17, 2006: And the Bond girl is..:

far, so bad on the James Bond front. First of all, it took the
studio for-f*ckin-ever to come out with the announcement of who the
new Bond would be, and now, even though the movie has already...

February 10, 2006: Casino script review:
You can categorize me as one of those people who really couldn't give a crap about CASINO ROYALE. I'm sorry but that whole "who's gonna replace Brosnan" ongoing saga just exhausted me. And now the ongoing drama about who will play the Bond girl.... Enough...
February 2, 2006: New Royale pics:
James Bond's latest adventure, CASINO ROYALE , has been filming for a couple
of days now so this new pic of Daniel Craig on set is a little late. From the looks of it, he's either on his way to film a scene, on his way back from filming a scene, in the...
February 1, 2006: Bond still w/ no girl:
Filming has begun on CASINO ROYALE and despite what you may have heard around the web, the Bond girl has yet to be cast. Rumors on the internet last week had Rose Byrne (TROY) signed, sealed and delivered in the role but the studio is still screen-testing...
January 27, 2006: Hottie Update!!:
Watching SMOKEY AND THE BANDIT yesterday on AMC, it struck me that there was a time when a large portion of the heterosexual male populace (and a similar faction
of the female persuasion, I'm sure - you know, lesbians) considered Sally Field a bonafide...

Rose Byrne. At least that's the word on the street. And by "word on the street", I mean a report over on Mi6.co.uk . According to their report, it was "Rose's performance as Trojan priestess Briseis in the 2004 epic
Troy, where she had a series of...

There's two things you can do if you'd like to know more about James Bond's escapades in the upcoming CASINO ROYALE . Option one involves reading the book it's based on by Ian
Fleming. If you'd prefer to ix-nay that option, however, option two involves...
January 11, 2006: Who's the Bond girl?:
Let's get this straight right outta the box to hopefully stop the myriad e-mails I get on just this topic: Charlize Theron and Angelina Jolie will not be Bond girls in CASINO ROYALE . Not happening. Move on. According to an article today in Variety, both...

December 30, 2005: Hottie Update!!:
Despite the disturbing paucity of hottie-related movie news this week, I still managed to scrounge up what I hope is a satisfactory number of items. Surprisingly enough, no
one correctly identified last week's mystery hottie. Some of the guesses included...
December 23, 2005: Hottie Update!!:
This week's update will be special not only because it features the usual bevy of nubile ingenues making the movie magic we love so much but also because at the end I'll
be revealing a secret regarding a little movie called X-MEN 3 . Oh and kudos to...
November 8, 2005: Piper is Bond girl?:
