The lucky gits at Amsterdam’s Cinema Expo event have been shown 20 minutes of footage from Casino Royale.
Variety was there and has this to say about the screening: “The footage showed off 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.”
The trade mag also pointed out that while Daniel Craig himself wasn’t present to make nice to the exhibitor viewers at the Expo, “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 gear heads, 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.”
Sounds like a lot of the things we’ve seen in the trailer, but it also bodes well for the movie, which arrives on 17 November.
