Flick Expo Reveals 20 Minute of New James Bond-age

by | June 30, 2006 | Comments

The European Cine Expo event closed with kind of a treat: Sony treated the attendees to a 20-minute chunk of James Bond’s next adventure, "Casino Royale."

From Variety: "The footage showed off (Daniel) Craig as a grittier Bond, with scenes of more intense, visceral hand-to-hand combat than 007 has tackled in recent pics. One black-and-white scene flashed back to Bond’s first ever (brutal and hard-to-pull-off) kill as an agent, as well as his (much more sleek and signature) second assassination.

Also introducing the pic was one of the new Bond girls, Caterina Murino, and the reel featured some sultry scenes between her and Craig. For any gearheads, Bond’s new ride also got some screen time, as did high-octane chase scenes, including one of Craig following a baddie up and down a construction site with aerial jumps and twists."

"Casino Royale" opens in November.
