Casino Royale Hits Losing Streak

The new James Bond film "Casino Royale," starring new Bond Daniel Craig ("Road to Perdition") began production in Prague this Friday: it's only problem is that there's no Bond villain, and no trademark Bond girl. While many films have survived the first few months of production without major leads, this is the first time a franchise such as Bond has taken such a risk. Rumors of Rachel McAdams ("The Notebook") and Thandie Newton ("Mission Impossible: II") have abounded with no avail, while no speculations of the villain have arisen.
