Customer Reviews

Great Photo Documentaion
Sounds a bit OTT? Well just take a look at this great photo record of the filming of "Casino Royale" and you`ll see what I mean. Not only a behind the scenes record of parts of the movie but also stunning photos as well.
Now it is exactly what I`ve just said it is, a photo documentaion so don`t expect pages of literature. Just great photos.
I`m sure that as I write this review Greg Williams is busy at work on the next Bond movie "Quantum of Solace" so can`t wait for that book as well as the film.

OK for pictures, useless for anything else
I got this book expecting one in a similar vein to previous Bond 'making of's', which had successfully balanced excellent stills reproduction (including many excellent behind the scenes examples) with informative text which gave an insight into the film's production.

The first thing to note about this book is that there is NO text whatsoever, only stills, many of which I wonder why they bothered including (I really am not interested in looking at a grainy, full-page picture of Daniel Craig's forehead). Many pictures follow this vein, being nothing more than extremely murky close ups of the actors looking rather bored.

All in all, a rather over-rated collection, with a truly extortionate price tag. Get Stan Winston's new book instead- an absolute stunner in every department!

CASINO ROYALE WINNER FROM GREG WILLIAMS!

Beautifully produced record of the making of Casino Royale. It's rare to find such an intensely personal and sensitive collection, and an instant collectible for those with an eye for such things. With Greg Williams' unlimited access to the set, and his previous work with Daniel Craig [eg the outstanding photos accompanying the article "Oh Danny Boy!" for uk Marie Claire] the time is ripe for him to produce another book, and devoted entirely to Craig, the finest actor working today. The release of Casino Royale will hopefully encourage moviegoers to check Amazon DVDs for his previous films, to confirm this for themselves.
