No, it was the first book that Ian Fleming wrote in the James Bond series of books. It was filmed once in the sixties but was more of a comedy - this is the first time that they've filmed it as an action story.

Casino Royale was the original, the first, unknown, Bond movie. The more recent version is a remake.

A kind of throwback, yes.

With the introduction of a new actor playing Bond, I think they wanted to go back to a grass roots character that everyone could start over with. Daniel Craig did a great jon in his debut..and I can't wait until the next Bond movie comes out.
