   Essential Book of the Filming of CASINO ROYALE, August 6, 2011

   This review is from: Bond on Set: Filming 007 Casino Royale (Hardcover)

   This collection of images from CASINO ROYALE is an essential companion to the 2006 James Bond film just as “Bond on Set: 007 Filming Die Another Day” was for that film. “Bond on Set: 007 Filming Die Another Day” evoked visual memories of James Bond somewhere between Ian Fleming’s literary vision and those created from the cinematic version. That book was rather thought provoking and delves deep into Fleming’s literary world.

   “Bond on Set: Filming Casino Royale” seems to evoke much more of Ian Fleming’s feel and atmosphere for James Bond in a true artistic format. The photographs in themselves are admirable and this book is destined to age over time like a fine wine giving one the opportunity to return and savor the moment. Incidentally that is the photo of Bond on the cover that they use for the new gun barrel opening used in CASINO ROYALE. That is a nice touch. This is one of the best books to come out on the James Bond films.

   This review is from: Bond on Set: Filming 007 Casino Royale (Hardcover)

   It’s tiny, almost exactly the L/W/D of two VHS tapes laid side-by side. But the pictures are cool, and I got it for a penny (plus $3.99 s/h) so it’s really hard to complain.

   However, because of the size, it’s hard to open this book up all the way to admire the entire photo on a given page; a fifth of the image is usually lost in shadow.

   Casino Royale is one of my top 5 films, but I wouldn’t consider this a necessary addendum to my library. I flipped through it once upon arrival, and once since then.

   This book was awesome. I love Mr. Williams’ photography, but I had previously bought the Skyfall book which was huge, with big old fat pictures. The Casino Royale was a little baby book in comparison. Of Daniel Craig’s Bond, Casino was my favorite and the book is great filled with awesome pictures. I guess I should’ve read the dimensions of the book.
