Welcome to one of the World's oldest and most comprehensive James Bond & Ian Fleming sites dedicated to the global 007 phenomenon. Over 9,000 pages of content in English. Launched in 2004 by Sweden's foremost James Bond expert, Anders Frejdh, who manages 007 actor George Lazenby since 2013.
Casino Royale (2006) rebooted the James Bond franchise by changing the actor, but not only that. The film also changed the game in the series’ most famous card duel. In Ian Fleming’s 1953 novel, Bond plays baccarat, specifically the chemin de fer variant, which is 007’s favourite game. In the 2006 film, however, he sits down at a table to play Texas Hold’em.
