The name's Bond...James Bond!

James Bond is back in the news again. They are giving the movie royal treatment. In this one, Bond's enemy is none other than Prince Harry. If you don't remember, Harry is the anti-semitic one that does not deserve to be called prince anything.
The 21st James Bond film has a title: "Casino Royale," which also was the title of Ian Fleming's first James Bond novel, published in 1953.

The novel was adapted into a 1954 television show and Columbia Pictures' unofficial 1967 spy spoof "Casino Royale," which starred Peter Sellers, Woody Allen and David Niven. In 1999, MGM acquired the title and rights in a settlement with Columbia's Sony Pictures parent. MGM is now in the process of being acquired by a Sony-led investor group.
No word yet as to whether Pierce Brosnan is coming to the big screen as Agent 007.
