Leave it to sony to really mess things up... again. If you go onto the official website for casino royale, you can select Dossier. This is where you can find a link to see Bond's biography. IT SAYS HE WAS BORN IN 1968! THE SERIES WAS 3 FILMS DEEP IN 1968!!! Also, it says he was never married. Let us go back to OHMSS when Lazenby married.
This should be some film.

Also, of course he needs to have been born in 68. If he was born so he could make the movies up to 68, he'd be Connery's age, and that is too old for 007 to be.
Yeah,all signs suggest that Casino Royale will indeed be quite a film.About those changes you noticed-What Eon's done is decide that Casino Royale is a complete reboot of the franchise, and is the first film in what is now a second series of James Bond movies.
They're assuming that the previous 20 movies(made from 1962-2002) don't exist in this particular iteration.Casino Royale is neither a general series prequel, nor is it a sequel to Die Another Day.
As a result,the Daniel Craig version of 007 could very easily have been born in 1968 and definitely not have been married in 2006.He doesn't share the exact same history as the Connery/Lazenby/Moore/Dalton/Brosnan versions of 007.
At any rate,Eon's always played fast and loose with Bond's birth year-continually altering it to suit each of the previous five 007 actors and their disparate ages.If they hadn't done that, then 007 would at least be well into his late eighties by now.That men of varying ages can all be the same character is called dramatic license.Although,like you,I'd like to see a series of Bond films set in the 1960s,Eon determined a long time ago that the 007 films will always be set in the present day because they believe that general filmgoers have come to expect to see the latest technology,cars,fashions and music appear in each James Bond movie.
bond was 38 for CR, 12 years later he was 38 for YOLT
in the first stories, it was important that he'd had lots of topsecret missions during WWII before being promoted to 00 status
by YOLT it was claimed Bond had lied about his age to enlist just before the war was all over
theres confusion about exactly when he bought his first Bentley too
looks like he's still precisely 38, so this is fact perfect continuity
Right, and hiring Roger when his in his 40's works somehow.
Connery an Lazenby are clearly the same Bond (Connery avenging Lazenby's dead wife), both have some sort of relation with Moore (in FYEO pre-titles sequence we see tracy`s tombstone dated in 1969)
In the other hand, Dalton and Brosnan seems to have a relation: in GE, M says that he is a Cold War dinosaur (so he had served in the cold war period) and warnes him that don`t take Oumurov as a personal vendetta, like in LTK.
Yet Dalton is related directly with a previous Bond, in LTK Leiter talks Della about Bond's dead wife.
Conclusion: All five Bonds have been related, making it hard to follow, unless you accept that Bond made all his assignments in months rather than years...
Bond 2.0 (Craig) is very different, yet he must have similar experiences, Craig or the one who replace him has to marry (at least in a pre-titles sequence) according this, it came the rumor about making again all the books in order.
And, Does the biography gives a date? I hope is in august, between the 22th and the 24th
PB, TD are the other two I think that were in their 40s. Mid 30s to early 40s is a good age for Bond up on the screen I feel.
