I forgot about LTK actually, and you're right, it was a financial flop as well, unfortunately. OHMSS and TMWTGG were just the first two to come to mind for examples!
But it didn't deserve to be!
Yeah I know, that was the most depressing factor, just knowing that it was so grand epic, yet the audience thought otherwise! Shame on them....
I'm here to share my wealth of knowledge. :)
I'm actually reading this book called History's Monsters. I had a general knowledge of Duvalier before, but the book went in a little more depth on him. Long story short, Duvalier bankrupted his country, chased off the educated people of Haiti, had the cult of personality thing going and his decisions were heavily influenced by voodoo.
I've always thought the GF PTS to be based in Mexico, but Cuba would certainly make sense. The only reason why I don't think it's Cuba is because I don't believe there have been any direct flights from Cuba to Miami for quite some time.
Afterthought: Bond could have snuck his way back on Gitmo. Didn't think of that before.
I don't believe there are any other fictional countries in the Bond franchise.
After LTK bombed at the box office (through no fault of the film), EON was wise to move the release dates away from the summer blockbuster timeframe.
Even if it does fail, Bond 24 has been slated and we will still have DC for at least one more film.
None of them are flops because all three made ATLEAST triple their money back. Look it up. Im not sure what qualifies as a flop to some people but each and every Bond film made a healthy profit. With all due respect to you gents ofcourse. :)
Real box office flops include the likes of Speed Racer, Green Lantern, Battlefield Earth, and most recently John Carter.

Agree
I guess I am being harsh. I don't rate her that highly as an actress but she is not awful. Frost was however an awful chracter and RP did not put in a great performance IMO.
Eva Green was a key factor in the magical ride that was Casino Royale. Traditional, yet modern. Passionate, yet resistant. Strong yet fragile. The role of Vesper was hardly one-dimensional and required several personality factors. Eva pulled it off brilliantly. IMHO, very few of Eva's predecessors could have pulled off the Vesper successfully, but Eva certainly did.
Eva Green was amazing. The best thing in CR
Rosamund Pike could have done the same job probably.
Second thing is and mabey that's also why i don't understand the first thing be Daniel Craig & Eva Green be behind the movie showing there don't give a dam about promotion the movie and there be not happy visit my country. So DC and Eva Green look like more a match together then Bond and Vesper on screen.
Mabey it help a litle bit if there take another (and by prefer not again a France) actres. Some people sugest Olivia Wilde, iam not sjure or she have been a better Vesper ,but it help already i think she is better in interviews. But both actres are mabey to young for the part of Vesper in specialy because DC be 38 years old and Olivia be American 22 years old in 2006, whyle Green be 26. Mabey it also be a litle bit inporten to tell how old i whas in 2006, My age in 2006 whas 26 too, iam 25 days younger then Eva Green.
Because of Vesper's name mean ''Wesp'' (male ''Bee'') in Dutch i don't think a blond girl should play her. For what it is worth, Pike whas 27 years old in 2006.
Many think there was more for Vesper, but there was more Vesper in the CR film than the actual novel, so I say mission successful CR2006.
Thesis is incorrect again
Agreed, @Kerim, but the question is not whether Rosamund would have been better than Eva. I was merely asking whether she would have been a fine Vesper. ;-)
