Decade's Best: Casino Royale

Barbara Broccoli talks us through Bond's reboot...

TF: Casino Royale introduces the Quantum organization.

Is that kind of a modern-day replacement for SPECTRE, a more insidious ‘big bad’ that we might see in future Bond films?

MW: It’s really hard to tell. It was an interesting idea and it fits with the timing of the film.

But what, when and how we might use it again is not clear to us.

TF: OK, what about Bond himself?

Now you’ve reintroduced the character with more layers, is that likely to be a constant thread for the foreseeable future?

BB: I hope so, that’s what we’re aiming for.

I think Daniel’s such a superb actor and I think his portrayal of the character is one where he explores his vulnerabilities.

And I think that part of the excitement is about not just having Bond go through the physical challenges, but the emotional ones as well.

Next: Bond 23... and Bond 3D?

      Right guys, I'm getting a little fed up of paying a significant monthly amount on a magazine that is then reproducing the articles within it for free on the website. can you please stop doing this for the people who pay for the magazine, otherwise you're shooting yourselves in the foot as people like me will stop buying it as it is losing value.

      in response to eadie2009, i say "keep it up, TF!" give subscribers perforated posters or something, keep the news here. as much as i love magazines (a subscriber to many), i don't mind less materials being used to get my information fix.
