In any event, EON itself uses the term unofficial in referring to the 19 Casino Royales and NSNA. Morwen - Talk 12:41, 18 December 2005 (UTC) I've never seen "unofficial" used in that context. K1Bond007 21:15, 14 October 2005 (UTC) It is, however, problematic usage, because "unofficial" in this context would usually refer to unlicenced hence illegal adaptions, which none of these "unofficial" adaptions were. This Casino Royale being the only official adaptation is undisputed. See Casino Royale, Thunderball, and James Bond. Never Say Never Again was made due to legal wranglings over Thunderball and Casino Royale wasn't acquired by United Artists/MGM until 1999 (Fleming sold the rights well before EON got to it). It's always been referred to as the official series vs the 19 unofficial films. Who exactly is it that is declaring this to be the official version? EON Productions itself? - Kwekubo 20:48, 14 October 2005 (UTC) EON Productions is the official film series because they own the film rights to Fleming's novels (at the time with the only exception being Casino Royale). This film marks the third screen-adaptation of Ian Fleming's novel Casino Royale, which was previously a 1954 television episode and a 1967 film spoof however, the 2006 release will be the only official adaptation of Fleming's novel.
