First Reactions to Casino Royale

While I'm not the biggest James Bond fan, I've watched a ton of the films and often enjoy the suave, stylized action sequences (complete with cool, sexy dialogue) found in a good amount of the twenty Bond flicks currently available. After listening to all those Daniel Craig haters over the course of the past year, I was pumped to find the latest Casino Royale trailer to be, well, fantastic.
Add to that this very promising test screening review over at AICN, and folks -- we could be in store for one heck of a fun ride. According to the scooper, Casino Royale was recently screened in London under the top-secret title, Alkazan. (Remember that name folks, just in case you're asked to attend a similar screening.) Producers Michael Wilson and Barbara Broccoli were on hand to ask the audience (roughly 40 people) some questions afterward. What did they think? Says the scooper, "There was a huge round of applause after. And, believe me folks, this is London, you won't get a huge round of applause if you walked inside a toy shop and purchased a board-game called 'Huge Round Of Applause'. Our reviewer goes to on to call the film "fantastic" and even compares its setting to that of a Quentin Tarantino flick. What? Tarantino? You may have to just read it for yourself ...

Wow, it compares to a Tarantino flick? Imagine that! Considering the idea to make this film gritty and Tarantino-esque came from the minds of Quentin Tarantino AND Pierce Brosnan, not Barbara Broccoli! And what did they get for their idea? Rejection, each time it was brought up. That and never hiring Tarantino and firing Brosnan.
So, ethically speaking, "effff" this film and its producers.

Tarantino would not have been able to do Casino Royale, even if the producers wanted him, he is not a member of the DGA - so he cant work for Sony MGM
