Which Bond film from the past kind of resembles Casino Royale in your opinion? Like the style of Bond (Many claim Craig has the Connery Persona) and location (Dr. No?) suspense (Goldfinger type deal?)

I could be wrong, but isn't it kinda hard to compare a film which hasn't been totally shot yet and nowhere near being close to hitting the silver screen or even viewable for that matter to one that's already completed?

You have a point but... From the looks of things (like pictures on set, interviews, and so fourth) what movie do you see?

Right now, it looks like a train wreck in regards to all the tabloid nonsense. :tup:

But seriously, until I see a couple of trailers, I won't have an opinion. But of the few spoilers I've seen, it doesn't look too shabby. :D

Location-wise it's similar to

but not exactly if you catch my drift.

Too early to tell, and I'm not going to venture a guess this early on, because who knows how different this film will really be.

I always got a very LTK vibe from it. Vastly different from what we've had before, a take on Bond rarely seen in movies, and according to the press stills, a lot of 'tropical' locations.

To me CR sounds similar in style with OHMSS (after YOLT), FYEO (after MR) and TLD & LTK (after the whole Moore era). You see my point.

OHMSS comes to mind also because of Vesper (Bond falling in love with her like he did with Tracy) and the real-stunts-no-gadgets approach. (Plus Pierce Brosnan will return for Bond 22 like DAF.) :tup:

So far I sort of think Thunderball/Dr No, but that's probably due to to all the beach pictures I keep seeing.

Eight months to go... sigh.

God I hope not! As much as I liked brosnan, I don't want to relive all those old Bond jokes I had to live with in 1985.

Plus, even if CR is not very popular at the box office, I think EON will want to give Craig a second chance with a more typical bond film to "bond" with the audience (Sony may not be so kind).

To be honest I'm not getting a vibe from any of the other movies except TB b/c of the locations, I'm really getting the vibe I get when reading the Fleming novels from looking at the stills and behind the scenes footage. And that's a very good thing to me. :tup:
