NPR talks with Christopher Guest about his new flick, "For Your Consideration." And the New York Times has a review.
“For Your Consideration” is by far the broadest comedy Mr. Guest and company have made. Despite its merriment, it is also the flimsiest. Unlike Mr. Guest’s earlier films, the movie has no airs of being a fake documentary. As farce trumps satire, the humor’s subversive edge is lost, along with meaningful character development, with the brilliant exception of Ms. O’Hara’s Marilyn.

The BBC talks with "Casino Royale" screenwriters Robert Wade and Neal Purvis.
Though there's often been talk of going back to basics with Bond and making him more 'Flemingian' this was the best opportunity ever because we're starting again with the first novel.
It was published in 1953 and it's Bond at the beginning of his career. We still had to satisfy people's expectations and have a certain amount of humour -that's one of the biggest differences between the films and the books. But we tried to be as faithful to the novel as possible and keep it fairly dark.
