CASINO ROYALE
NAME OF SONG: YOU KNOW MY NAME
FILM: CASINO ROYALE
YEAR: 2006
SUNG BY: CHRIS CORNELL
COMPOSED BY: CHRIS CORNELL/DAVID ARNOLD
FILM PLOT OUTLINE:
STARRING: Daniel Craig as James Bond
MEMORABLE BECAUSE: A total U-turn from the recent Bond films which were
leaning more and more towards CGI. Almost every scene in the film is
refreshingly believable and shot for real.
QUOTE “You’re not my type” “Intelligent?” “Single”
GADGETS None
INTERESTING MUSICAL FACTS: The song for this film was a very deliberate
attempt to move away from previous Bond music and therefore it doesn’t contain
any Bond quotes either in the song or in the score of the film. The film is
about Bond becoming 007 and we don’t even get to hear the Bond Theme until the
very end of the film.
INTERESTING FILM FACTS: For the first time ever, there is no Miss Moneypenny,
no gadgets or Q branch, and no James Bond Theme for most of the movie. Daniel
Craig was absolutely slated from the minute he took on the role of 007, but when
he finally made his appearance on screen he rammed it all back down the critic’s
throats.
