POSTS: 4731 MEMBER SINCE: 2005-12-03 READ MY PROFILE ADD TO FRIENDS VOTE FOR ME E-MAIL ME POSTED Monday , December 18, 2006 12:17:03 AM [Copasted] Variety says that USA Network has acquired cable rights for Sony's Casino Royale for $20 million after spirited bidding by FX, Spike and TNT. USA takes title to Casino Royale in June 2009 for a five-year license term. Sony has carved out three separate two-month windows within the five years for sale to another cable and/or broadcast network. That should energize the profit participants of Casino Royale: Depending on the demand, those three windows could add another $5 million-plus to USA's $20 million outlay. Before Casino Royale winds up on USA, it will get a 15-month exclusive run on HBO beginning next December.

Eventually, the rights fell in to the hands of Charles K. Feldman who, not wishing to compete with the box office smash series, made this screen adaptation of Fleming's novel a humorous parody rather than a serious interpretation. It might have been good, if it wasn't directed by a committee -- there's an old saying, too many directors spoil the movie. This version of Casino Royale makes virtually no sense at all; things happen on screen that make zero sense and are never explained (not that they ever could), and many scenes drone on forever. Not to say it doesn't have its moments. The dialogue in one of the opening scenes, between 'M', his associates, and James Bond is funny and very well written; most of Woody Allen's material for his role as a Blofeld parody are hysterical, and the score to the film is catchy, silly, and fun. Furthermore, once you've seen it one or two times (if you can bring yourself to do that) and become accustomed to the deplorable storytelling and insidious happenings, it kind of grows on you. ------------------------- ------ mike55 [[URL= http://www.celebpoker.com /poker-promotions ] Edit Reply w/Quote matacron Member Jacksonville,FL POSTS: 5071 MEMBER SINCE: 2003-01-01 READ MY PROFILE ADD TO FRIENDS VOTE FOR ME E-MAIL ME REPLIED Wednesday, November 19, 2008 04:21:40 AM Well, now I know when I'll be watching it.
