1) First off: Casino Royale might get a publicity problem, if the press is going to call it "the/a remake"
2) What do you think of leaving Pinewood? Justified/Unjustified? Where to go?

1) The danger of this had been mentioned before, but the standard respons has always been: "C'mon, 90% of the general audience isn't aware of the two previous versions...". But it was clear from the beginning that the press would jump on this. It gives them something to write and to prove themselves as wisecrackers. Be sure that we'll get to hear enough of the two other Casinos before the release of CR06. (mark my words, Tim, we'll get to see CR54 on German television. My prediction is a "Themenabend" on "arte"...

). But it's right, EON has to be aware of that (I'm sure they are) and will have to deal with it.
2) Nothing new, they went away for MR and GE as well (LTK too?). At the end of the day, it's all a question of money, and if they can save some bucks with that... well, deep inside, everyone's a Ferengi.
Where to go? There has been the Prague discussion, of course.
And, Tim, you should remember that story about the Wowereit/Sony talks for a future Bond shooting at the Berlin Babelsberg studios from
November 2002
Another option would be Bavaria Studios in Munich. But I don't expect that shooting at a German studio would come that much cheaper.
