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.

As befits a James Bond tale, mystery surrounds the survival of several unique and expensive pieces of film equipment caught up in the blaze that destroyed the 007 set at Pinewood Studios yesterday.
The fire in the corrugated metal warehouse-like stage wiped out three different sets that had been transformed into Venice for several final scenes in the new Bond film Casino Royale.
