Casino Royal (Quantum of Solace Video Game)
A Notable difference between the game and film is that The place where Bond takes out Dimitros is a front for a criminal organization or something like that. --Kennedy, 007 (talk) 08:50, 28 August 2010 (UTC)User:Kennedy,007

FA
Featured article of the day for 3 June 2011. Congrats. Derekbd (talk) 16:25, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

Possible FA review
The article was promoted to Featured Article status not long after the film came out, and I am not generally a fan of that kind of quick turnaround. Films are covered in-depth in books a few years after they are released, and searching through WorldCat.org, I can see numerous books that cover Casino Royale (in part or in full) like the following: This is also the kind of article where researchers never went outside Google. The majority of the references are online. While this is beneficial, there are numerous film periodicals that cover Casino Royale and do not necessarily make that coverage available online. One example I found is Cinefex. While American Cinematographer is used in the article, there is only one short paragraph based on it. I also found this via Google Scholar Search; this may also cover the film in part. There needs to be significantly more research in libraries as well as their electronic subscription-only databases. Without using at least some of the aforementioned sources, the article is not comprehensive enough for its current status. Erik (talk &#124; contribs) 11:45, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

 * Even if it doesn't have that many book cites, that doesn't mean it cannot be a featured article. As of today, it has 113 references, and while I agree that now some of these books have come out they would be positive additions if they have a lot to add, I don't agree with the proposal that this article be taken to featured article review as a way to force editors to add them; a featured article can still be improved while it remains a high quality article. After all, books aren't suddenly much better than web sources, and at least websites are more easily verifiable than book-only citations. Bob talk 17:06, 3 June 2011 (UTC)
 * A Featured Article needs to be comprehensive and well-researched. I think that books are important for a couple of reasons: 1) they analyze the film in retrospect, and 2) they analyze the film in depth. Some websites may review the film in retrospect, but it is usually not in-depth analysis. Websites make up the most of the sources; they were chosen because they were easy for the primary contributors to access. Online accessibility for non-editor readers was incidental. That indicates to me incomplete research. Because of the quick turnaround, it is not a situation where a Featured Article about a film has used multiple books, and a new book about the film was just released. That would be an example of a high-quality article where we can engage in incremental improvement. With the aforementioned sources, my concern is that the article will have to undergo drastic improvement, which is why I suggested that there may be grounds for a FA review.

No images
This article looks soooo boring without images, Horrible. And I wrote most of this article!♦ Dr. Blofeld  14:14, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

Cancelled video game
But, in early period of that year, Electronic Arts have lost the 007 rights to Activision and the video game project was cancelled, ended up with finishing 16% of the development, which was reported in early 2010 at Keeping The British End Up website with some screenshots of the Venice level.

This sentence does not make sense to me. May of verse (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 22:41, 3 June 2011 (UTC).


 * Edited some. It is better. But someone who knows more may want to improve. May of verse (talk) 22:59, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

Reboot
SummerPhD, I'm going with Mezigue on this one: although it does not specifically use the word "reboot", it does have the following exchange:


 * Q: Does it restart the franchise?
 * CAMPBELL: Yeah, I guess so

IMHO that pretty much covers the concept of the reboot--Schrodinger&#39;s cat is alive (talk) 15:29, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
 * While I agree with you, we're having a bit of a dust-up over at Reboot (fiction), so I was hoping to find something more explicit. If there's no problem, I'd like to reword it slightly to deliberately stick rather pedantically to what the source says. - Sum mer PhD  (talk) 19:13, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Sounds like a good way round it to me.--Schrodinger&#39;s cat is alive (talk) 20:16, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Done. "Casino Royale restarts the franchise..." Thanks. (BTW, I haven't checked, so I think the cat is equally dead.) - Sum mer PhD  (talk) 20:30, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

Have added in 'reboots' and a reliable source which describes it as a 'reboot'. BearAllen (talk) 22:53, 26 September 2011 (UTC)


 * I think we may need to expand on the rebooting of the series some more, within this article; possibly expand the Production section to include some more information on the decision to reboot the series through Casino Royale. GUtt01 (talk) 10:52, 8 October 2017 (UTC)

This movie is based on the Ian Fleming classic novel.
This movie is based on the Ian Fleming novel "Casino Royale". That's why I put it in the Inbox section of that page. AdamDeanHall (talk) 21:09, 10 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Well put that tiny, tiny piece of information in without reverting the seven other pieces of genuine text you're also reverting - SchroCat ( ^  •  @ ) 21:12, 10 April 2012 (UTC)

Filming location
Before arriving at the casino, we see Bond and Vesper Lynd arriving in the small town where the game takes place. Does anyone know where this place is? It was really beautiful. I thought it was in Montenegro, but according to the article no filming took place in Monenegro. --Oddeivind (talk) 11:19, 3 November 2012 (UTC)

Parkour in Casino Royale
Hi. I have recently been making improvements to James Bond-related articles and thought this might be an important topic. It is written and sourced under the Parkour article that Casino Royale (the 2006 version) sparked a renewed media interest in the sport of Parkour and "is credited with starting a new wave of Parkour-inspired stunts in Western film and television". I am well-knowledgeable on Parkour and its history (I chose to write an entire high school essay on it about a year ago) and I know that there are plenty of other sources across the Internet that can confirm the strong link between Parkour and Casino Royale. So to me it would seem reasonable and appropriate to write a small section about this link here under the Casino Royale article. Does anyone agree? If so, do you have any suggestions on exactly how and where I should incorporate it into the article without it getting reverted? I'm open to any suggestions. Thanks! 108.95.130.150 (talk) 03:26, 5 October 2013 (UTC)
 * I think it would be putting too much emphasis on the topic from the point of view of the film. We mention that there is a scene involving parkour and that's sufficient as far as the film article goes, in my opinion. Certainly the topic can be expanded upon in the parkour article! where the information would be more relevant. - SchroCat (talk) 07:16, 5 October 2013 (UTC)

Cast ordering
The cast list should be like this: ==Cast==


 * Daniel Craig as James Bond: A British SIS officer who, after being assigned 00-status, is sent on a mission to arrest a bomb-maker in Madagascar, where he stumbles upon Le Chiffre's terrorist cell and is then sent to defeat him in a high-stakes poker game at Casino Royale.
 * Eva Green as Vesper Lynd: An agent for HM Treasury assigned to supervise Bond and finance him in a high-stakes poker game.
 * Mads Mikkelsen as Le Chiffre: A banker who services many of the world's terrorists. He is a mathematical genius and expert chess player and uses these skills when playing poker.
 * Giancarlo Giannini as René Mathis: Bond's contact in Montenegro.
 * Caterina Murino as Solange Dimitrios: Dimitrios' wife, whom Bond seduces. She is killed by Le Chiffre for unintentionally revealing one of his plans to Bond.
 * Simon Abkarian as Alex Dimitrios: Another contractor in the international terrorist underworld and associate of Le Chiffre, based in the Bahamas.
 * Isaac de Bankolé as Steven Obanno: A leader of the Lord's Resistance Army, introduced to Le Chiffre by Mr. White to account his finances.
 * Jesper Christensen as Mr. White: A liaison for an unnamed criminal organisation.
 * Ivana Miličević as Valenka: Le Chiffre's girlfriend.
 * Tobias Menzies as Villiers: M's young secretary at MI6 Headquarters.
 * Claudio Santamaria as Carlos: A terrorist employed by Le Chiffre to blow up an aircraft.
 * Sébastien Foucan as Mollaka: A bomb-maker pursued by Bond through a construction site in Madagascar.
 * Jeffrey Wright as Felix Leiter: A CIA operative participating in the poker tournament while assisting Bond. This is the first Eon-produced Bond film in which Leiter is played by a black actor. (The only other black actor to portray Leiter was Bernie Casey in Never Say Never Again, which was not produced by Eon.)
 * Judi Dench as M: The head of MI6. Although she feels she has promoted Bond too soon and chides him for his rash actions, she acts as an important maternal figure in his life. Dench was the only cast member carried through from the Pierce Brosnan films.

Casino Royale includes a cameo by British entrepreneur Richard Branson (seen being frisked at Miami airport). The cameo was cut out of the in-flight versions shown on British Airways' in-flight entertainment systems, as was a shot of the Virgin Atlantic aircraft Branson supplied.
 * Tsai Chin as Madame Wu: A professional veteran poker player.
 * Ludger Pistor as Mendel: A Swiss banker responsible for all monetary transactions during and after the poker tournament.
 * Richard Sammel as Gettler: An assassin who works for an unnamed criminal organisation and contacts Vesper in Venice.
 * Clemens Schick as Kratt: Le Chiffre's bodyguard, who often accompanies his boss wherever he travels.
 * Joseph Millson as Carter: An MI6 agent who accompanies Bond in Madagascar.
 * Ben Cooke as Williams: An MI6 agent who debriefs Bond in London.
 * Malcolm Sinclair as Dryden: A corrupt MI6 Section Chief, and Bond's second official target.
 * Darwin Shaw as Fisher: Dryden's underground contact. M sends Bond to kill him, his first official target. Bond tracks him down, nearly drowns him, and then shoots him dead.
 * Diane Hartford as Card Player.

In the order of the opening credits Scream4man (talk) 01:06, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
 * No. We use the order of the end credits (I'm not saying this is in the order if the end credits, but that's the one that should be used). - SchroCat (talk) 06:12, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

@ Amccann421 Why change the Plot details that I added about Vesper refusing to be saved by Bond?
Just curious.
