I prefer to see Casino Royale as a completely fresh start for Bond, and that the Bond played by Connery, Moore et al. Another reason, Bond will look even more idiotic getting all weepy over Elektra in The World is not Enough.įor me, the James Bond in Casino Royale cannot be the same manifestation of the character as in the previous twenty films in the same way that the James Bond in Fleming's stories is not the same as Sean Connery in Dr. Vesper will haunt 007 the rest of his life. Now, I will believe this in the film version as well. According to the Fleming novels, the casino Bond meets Tracy at in On Her Majesty's Secret Service is Royale and he had had Vesper on his mind when he first saw Tracy because he was visiting Vesper's grave. Saves Christmas Jones in TWINE, in the submarineĪnd from now on, when I watch these scenes, I will imagine that he has flashbacks of Vesper. He also saves women from drowning in the following situations:. In particular, I now see the speed with which he runs to save Tracy in the PTS of OHMSS in a new light.
Therefore, I think, that whenever Bond sees a woman drowning, he will get flashbacks of Vesper.
And to me, that means that the other actors who played Bond, and their adventures all followed the events of this one.
