Ok, as a Bond Fan I wish to tell you all the tale of Casino Royale, and its orginal production(not with Woody Allen).
So, back in 1954, Ian Fleming (the author of James Bond) sold the rights to CBS for about a $1000 and they made a 3 part TV play of it staring Barry Nelson, amoung others. It changed the story a bit, yet it was similar (that is using it kindly) to the story. I highly recomend getting a copy for any Bond fan or a lover of obqure movies. This redo on tape is becoming rare since there is only one orginal of the film left and it was made into this tape.
Also, according to the USA Today, the new movie will not exacly follow the book, but will explain several orgins of Bond, which sounds cool.
