Now he's just a product-placement whore.

Only just caught on have you?]]>Aug 29th 2006 12:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/29/james-bonds-new-gadgets-in-casino-royale-unveiled/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/29/james-bonds-new-gadgets-in-casino-royale-unveiled/
I'm probably one of the few people who welcome Bond's return to his roots. As long as he isn't bringing down an interstellar mothership with his Vaio.]]>Aug 29th 2006 12:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/29/james-bonds-new-gadgets-in-casino-royale-unveiled/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/29/james-bonds-new-gadgets-in-casino-royale-unveiled/Aug 29th 2006 1:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/29/james-bonds-new-gadgets-in-casino-royale-unveiled/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/29/james-bonds-new-gadgets-in-casino-royale-unveiled/Aug 29th 2006 1:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/29/james-bonds-new-gadgets-in-casino-royale-unveiled/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/29/james-bonds-new-gadgets-in-casino-royale-unveiled/http://www.danielcraigisnotbond.com
And then they have the gall to not include the third most important feature in a Bond movie (the gadgets). If you have to ask what the 2nd one is, you're not a Bond fan.]]>Aug 29th 2006 1:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/29/james-bonds-new-gadgets-in-casino-royale-unveiled/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/29/james-bonds-new-gadgets-in-casino-royale-unveiled/Aug 29th 2006 1:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/29/james-bonds-new-gadgets-in-casino-royale-unveiled/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/29/james-bonds-new-gadgets-in-casino-royale-unveiled/
They could still have R. I liked him.]]>Aug 29th 2006 1:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/29/james-bonds-new-gadgets-in-casino-royale-unveiled/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/29/james-bonds-new-gadgets-in-casino-royale-unveiled/Aug 29th 2006 1:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/29/james-bonds-new-gadgets-in-casino-royale-unveiled/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/29/james-bonds-new-gadgets-in-casino-royale-unveiled/Aug 29th 2006 1:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/29/james-bonds-new-gadgets-in-casino-royale-unveiled/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/29/james-bonds-new-gadgets-in-casino-royale-unveiled/
They can't have R in the movie and have it follow the correct storyline because R was Q's replacement. This movie is supposed to be the first Bond movie, before Bond had his license to kill, so if anything, they'd have to have a young Q.

I do wonder how they're going to handle "M", though, because Judi Dench is still playing M and she's getting a bit, well, aged. :)

Q wasn't in every Bond movie prior to Desmond's passing.

I agree on the M point though. They really, really shouldn't have kept Dench as M. I feel it's only going to cause confusion among some people, whereas a new actor could have helped them cope with the reboot.]]>Aug 29th 2006 1:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/29/james-bonds-new-gadgets-in-casino-royale-unveiled/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/29/james-bonds-new-gadgets-in-casino-royale-unveiled/
1) Q is called Q because he is the Quartermaster the whole "If you're Q then does that make him R" was a bad joke by bond. When Cleese took over from Lewellyn he became the new Quartermaster and hence Q

2) The grappling hook watch first appeared in Goldeneye and not TWINE

3) Casino Royale is a prequal to all the other bond films so JB is becoming 007 and therefore wont have all the random gadgets that he has been accustomed to

4) Daniel Craig will make a good, gritty bond - he was awesome in Layer Cake and in the TV series Archangel. Give him a chance - Roger Moore was hardly dark haired!

5) If you want to look at product placement check out X3 when they are in their plane one of the passenger seats is clearly seen to be labelled PS3.]]>Aug 29th 2006 2:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/29/james-bonds-new-gadgets-in-casino-royale-unveiled/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/29/james-bonds-new-gadgets-in-casino-royale-unveiled/
Also, if you recall, Q and Bond first meet in a prior film so having Q in this film would destroy continuity.]]>Aug 29th 2006 2:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/29/james-bonds-new-gadgets-in-casino-royale-unveiled/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/29/james-bonds-new-gadgets-in-casino-royale-unveiled/Aug 29th 2006 2:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/29/james-bonds-new-gadgets-in-casino-royale-unveiled/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/29/james-bonds-new-gadgets-in-casino-royale-unveiled/

I wouldn't call 5'11 short. There are gadgets in the film (not mentioned in the article) which include a defibrillator, a 3D GPS tracking device, a pinhole microphone and bug.

and rumoured to be the DBS? It's been official for about a year, even more so when you think the DBS was designed especially for Casino Royale.]]>Aug 29th 2006 8:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/29/james-bonds-new-gadgets-in-casino-royale-unveiled/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/29/james-bonds-new-gadgets-in-casino-royale-unveiled/-----

BTW... if there were a succession of Q for Quartermaster to R for Redux, then the next letter would be S for Sony. So, there's your continuity.]]>Nov 24th 2006 6:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/29/james-bonds-new-gadgets-in-casino-royale-unveiled/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/29/james-bonds-new-gadgets-in-casino-royale-unveiled/Nov 20th 2006 10:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/29/james-bonds-new-gadgets-in-casino-royale-unveiled/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/29/james-bonds-new-gadgets-in-casino-royale-unveiled/Nov 20th 2006 10:22AM
