 Stunning Stillness - Kinetic Force November 14, 2008
Bond On Set: Filming " Casino Royale " by Greg Williams is a sumptuous picture book filled with top of the line art by Greg Williams. The photographs are stunning, some for their stillness and others for their kinetic force.
Mr. Williams gets right in under the belly of the machine as "Casino Royale" was filmed and grabs shots that a Bond fan can only dream of. Fine hard work has paid off in his dedication to the chronicling of this film.
Of very special interest are the comments made by star Daniel Craig about each photograph and what memories they bring up. It is obvious that star and photographer understand each other's strengths and needs in working so closely together under what must have been incredible pressure.
The volume thin though it may be is indeed a small treasure of the meeting of a photo-journalist and artist and the huge cinematic charisma that is Daniel Craig.

I like it but it takes only one hour to finish it.
IN combination with the blu ray movie, it should be better.
If you loved the DVD, this is a nice addition. August 24, 2007
A wonderful compliment to the DVD. I loved the movie and was not disappointed by the extremely candid photography taken on the set of Casino Royale. Greg Williams captured the film set beautifully. My only request would have been to include more photos of the entire cast. Otherwise, this is a true example of professional photography at its' best.
 Nice but could have been more. May 14, 2007

I liked the book,but it's a little thin on imagery. I would have loved more photo's of the characters and scene's. A stronger narrative of the movie. And the ladies,what a missed opprotunity!
COOL BOOK - GREAT PRICE April 3, 2007
This is a COOL BOOK! Mainly just pictures - no distracting graphics, text, etc... except for some candid thoughts here and there. Eva Green being funny, smoking at the piano between takes... And you see how Daniel Craig really put himself into the physical side of the film: nursing a black eye with an ice pack, busting through a wall of sheetrock (it's really him), wearing bandaids on a swollen hand (cover picture).
The color and black/white photos are large, close-up and feel almost vintage/period. A favorite already is one of Bond resting between takes through the window of his stunt car... all black/white/silver looking. Very cool.
As others have also commented, I was unsure of this new Bond until I saw the film - now it's my favorite. This book is definitely worth more than the Amazon price - I added it on a whim to my order of the soundtrack - and am glad I did.
