Casino Royale 2006 Plot

Casino Royale was the first James Bond Book that Ian Fleming got published in 1953. The first attempt at turning the story into a film came about in 1954 which was an American version of it. James Bond became Jimmy Bond C.I.A. agent and Felix Leiter became a British Intelligence officer. The plot still revolved around bringing down Le Chiffre in a high stakes poker game.

The film starts in black and white, the EON Production that features black and white footage. The scenes show how James Bond got his licence; he had to kill two people. The first was a MI6 section chief who was accused of selling secrets to a hostile organisation and the organisation's contact.

Casino Royale is based on Ian Fleming’s book by the same name. This 2006 rendition wasn’t the first of its kind and it certainly won’t be the last. This movie took a slightly different approach than the 1967 version, keying in more on the depth of Bond’s character and focusing less on the actual events that took place.
