I stopped at Casino Royale, some of the James Bond "traditions" that had been handed down from one actor to another seemed to die there. There is a scene where Craig is at a bar, and asked if he "wanted his Martini shaken or stirred"? Craig replied "I don't care". Also gone was the signature Walther PPK.:( The History Channel did a "Tales of the Gun" show on automatic pistols. According to the narrator, the Walther PPK is the most recognized hand gun in the world due to the James Bond movies.

The P99 has been with us since "Tomorrow Never Dies." That's almost 15 years and 5 movies. A walther P5 was used in a couple of movies, but, it looks similar enough to a PPK that few people noticed.

I thought the Craig Bond films were suppose to be prequels in the series. So maybe they are waiting to tell a story about how he decided to go with "shaken, not stirred."

Actually, he sort of tells the story of the cocktail he likes, which is a Gin and Vodka martinin like thing in the Book Casino Royalt.

Exactly. The whole point was to show him before he had his signature "shaken not stirred" drink.

No, the line isn't "I don't care" - it was more along the lines of, "Do I look like I give a shit?" (He doesn't sweatr but, the tone isn't, "I don't care") after he had just lost a couple bajillion dollars gambling. The point is to show that he's too pissed off to even care if the waiter stirs it with his dick.

Oh, and Taos, Fleming didn't like the choice of Connery until he saw the result of Dr. No, thus he like the portrayal.

End of the day, at least we still have Walther as the maker... no one is bitching that he doesn't still drive an Aston Martin DB5. We've been through Lotus, BMW, Bentley, more Aston Martins, and Jaguars... no big deal.

It's a financial windfall for the producers. The James Bond films make millions on "product placement" advertising:

New James Bond Film, 'Bond 23' To Get $45 Million From Product Placement

James Bond's only loyalty is to the Queen, and being a badass: for 50 years, no temptress or evil Communist villain could lure him. Turns out, what those double agents and cackling evil doers were lacking were watches and some Chinese electronics.
The Australian reports that producer MGM and distributor Sony will work to procure $45 million in product placement advertising in the new James Bond film, shattering the previous record of $20 million in "Minority Report." Sony will be sending out brand ambassadors to a number of companies, including Chinese tech empires.
Of course, corporate influence in 007's adventures is nothing new; he raced around the worldwide in a name-dropped Aston Martin for years before deliberately switching over to a BMW.

The second unit is still in Adana, southern Turkey, completing work on the pretitles sequence. They are expected to finish by the end of this week, bringing to a close the longest shoot for a 007 adventure since "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" back in 1969.
