Aces! Spades! Clubs! Hearts! Diamonds! Death! And James Bond’s OO status revealed all in the Pre-Title sequence of CASINO ROYALE! Of course we are talking about the 2006 version of CASINO ROYALE.

Join us today as we take a gamble getting Daniel Craig’s first outing as Bond as we look at the pre-title and title sequence of CASINO ROYALE!

We will dive into both the pre-title sequence and the title sequence for CASINO ROYALE because they are inextricably connected – with the pre-title being a flashback, and the title sequence really a clever foreshadowing of what will happen in this mission.

In this podcast, we examine the following from the pre-title and title sequences of CASINO ROYALE (2006):

The impact of the black & white presentation of the pre-title sequence
What floor does the main pre-title action occur?
The cool demeanor of both Bond and Dryden
Does Dryden’s gun have a clip in it?
The fight in the men’s room
Did Dryden know about the first kill?
The influence of the three real faces seen in the title sequence
How gambling and casino games are portrayed in the title sequence
The gunbarrel sequence and are there two dots?
Why Bond’s face gets changed from Daniel Craig’s to a black silhouette.
and more…
