'Old' Bond Is Back In 'Casino Royale'
The newest James Bond movie, "Casino Royale," marks a return to the James Bond who Ian Fleming wrote about. It is Bond before he was 007 — and explains many of the nuances Bond is so famous for today.
Nick Foulkes, luxury editor of GQ magazine and author of the 1996 book, "Dressed to Kill: James Bond: The Suited Hero," chatted with Dave Price on The Early Show plaza Thursday.
A Bentley, Bond's car of choice in the novels (not the movies) was on hand to showcase his true passion. Foulkes wore a Turnbull Asser shirt and brought one for Price to wear. It's the type of shirt Bond specifically wore in his novels. There was also a bartender on hand to make a James Bond martini and explain that it's shaken, not stirred.
The movie hits theaters Nov. 17. It's the 21st James Bond film.
To see the segment,
Foulkes, as Price put it, knows what makes Bond tick and is a true Bond historian.
What makes the Bond brand so huge — generations after the books were written?
"The guy is charming and he saves the world," Foulkes responded. "Who doesn't like a guy like that?"
