"We're going back to Fleming. This film will be darker, grittier, more down-to-earth, more intelligent, more adult, and more character-driven than any of the recent ones. We're taking Bond back to basics, with fewer explosions, special effects and over-the-top action scenes. Mind you, we're doing this only because the studio slashed our budget after such a colossal amount was spent on DIE ANOTHER DAY - if it were up to us, we'd happily make another silly sci-fi fantasy epic with face-swapping villains, outer space death rays, and invisible cars."
"Why are we rebooting the franchise with a young James Bond and CASINO ROYALE? Well, actually, what we really wanted to do was make SILVERFIN, but unfortunately Charlie didn't quite get the book finished on time for Neal and Rob to adapt it as the script for the Bond film of November 2006, so...."
"Much of the script is taken from Neal and Rob's screenplay for the Jinx film that got cancelled. In fact, it's pretty much the same script, with the lead character changed to James Bond, the title changed to CASINO ROYALE, and a few such minor modifications."
"We're targeting the pink pound with a vengeance this time round."

"In this next chapter of the 007 saga, we will find Bond showing an affectionate love for fried chicken..."
"We've decided that our target audience must include teenage girls as well, in order to avoid discrimintation of that societal group and guarantee we'll make a [censored]load of money. Therefore, Bond's Aston Martin V8 Vantage will be pink and the headlights will have Roxy stickers on them."
-("Reporter"): "John Connershmith, The London Timeshh. What ish the poshhibiliteh of bringing back the firsht Jamesh Bond, Shhhawn Connereh? You know, he'shh been workin' out. And he'sh alsho mishing out on shleeping with all thosh fine leddiesh."
"Since our fanbase has repeatedly expressed disgust at the writngs of Neal Purvis and Robert Wade, we've decided to hire a new writer. Tom Clancy will be writing the draft for Casino Royale, where NSA stealth agent James Bond will covertly infiltrate a casino without getting caught. And since we've already got a writer, we figured, well, ladies and gentlemen, please meet your new James Bond...Michael Ironside."

"Casino Royale will feature John Leguizamo as Le Chiffre..."
"Mariah Carey will not only perform the theme song to Casino Royale, she will also act as the main Bond girl, solely because of Sean Connery's creative input in this film, and his suggestion that the next Bond girl have, quote, 'A truly gigantic rack.'"

Casino Royale is actually a planet that's off in deep deep dark space, the other side of the unknown universe. To get there James Bond has to travel thru a circular device called a "Star-gate" But the problem is that he can't get back and he has to play Baccarat and defeat LeChiffre, who speaks some kind of ancient egyptian and has glowing eyes, to get home.
I think this will be the biggesty Bond movie to date. All thanks to the superb writing of Purvis and Wade.

"Bond's new sidekick will be Yub-Yub, a hamster...with attitude."
"Bond infiltrates the ghetto disguised as Eazy-Fresh, a wack-
"We've decided to show that Bond does have a life outside of saving the world and getting laid, therefore the film will show some of his hobbies, like scuba-diving in the Thames, playing croquet in his posh flat, and dissecting pigeons found in London's Piccadilly."
"In Casino Royale we learn that through a mystic ceremony Bond's body has been taken over by the soul of a deceased ten-year-old boy, therefore Bond will have to fight the urge for ice cream, cotton candy, early bedtime, and Saturday morning cartoons all while saving the world...we really think it has a strong comedic potential."
"As a name tie-in for Casino Royale we've been able to secure an endorsement from the Royale toilet paper company. There will be numerous shots in the film of Bond, and of other characters, wiping themselves during bathroom breaks and smiling at the same time, awed by the comfort each roll provides. In fact, the paper will save Bond's life in one particular sequence where assassin T.P. Whypes is strangled by an extra-tensile length as he manages to climb underneath Bond's stall."

We next hired Rikki Lee Travolta to play Bond in our second attempt at Casino Royale in order to appeal to women but he proved too irresistable and impregnated every girl on the set including our newest Bond girl Britney Spears. Out appologies to Spears' husband Kevin Federline, but the baby is not yours. Thankfully all is not lost with this second attempt at Casino Royale, we have managed to capitalize on the Travolta/Spears affair by releasing footage of them as an adult feature under the title James Bondage 0069. Paris Hilton makes a guest appearance.
We still have hopes for a successful adaptation of our vision of Casino Royale. We are hoping that three times is the charm.
We are proud to introduce our Newest New James Bond, Julian McMahon and returning as his co-star Paris Hilton....Has anyone seen Julian and Paris?....Oh no, not again!

"Bond 21 has been shelved and we're just going to skip ahead to Bond 22 and do Bond 21 in an alternate dimension where Die Another Day has only just come out. God, these mushrooms are making my head spin!"
"Well, Bond's gadgets will be a fondue fork, a needle and thread and some chewing gum that inflates into a BMW."
