The worldwide box office for Casino Royale currently exceeds an estimated $224 million ($128.2 million foreign; $94.2 US) and many box-office gurus are predicting that Daniel Craig’s debut as 007 will become the most successful Bond film yet, with estimates exceeding $575 million worldwide.
Bond is back. And so are many of the brands that have been featured in previous James Bond features, some going as far back as the first film, 1962's "Dr. No."
Along with their prominent placement in "Casino Royale," six brands -- Heineken, Ford, Smirnoff Vodka, Sony Electronics, Sony Ericsson and Omega watches -- have spent more than $100 million on media and other promotional support for the movie, which opened Friday with British actor Daniel Craig in his maiden voyage as agent 007.

Campbell also said he "wasn't totally convinced" Craig, 38, would match up to previous Bonds. The admission is the latest in a...

Here you have the final theatrical trailer for the upcoming James Bond film "Casino Royale"!
Daniel Craig will star in two new James Bond films.
The 38-year-old actor has agreed to reprise his role as the suave spy but is being paid far less than his predecessor Pierce Brosnan, it has been reported.

A FILE revealing the new James Bond movie’s most secret scene has been found — in a pub.
A film hand on £65million Casino Royale is believed to have left it there by mistake.
The 19-page storyboard and script for the scene in the eagerly-awaited movie shows how Bond — played by Daniel Craig — battles to stop villain Carlos ramming a fuel tanker into a jumbo jet.
If the astonishing sequence had fallen into the wrong hands and been put on the internet, it would have destroyed the impact of one of the film’s biggest...
