Thread: What if Timothy Dalton did Casino Royale?

As we all know, Casino Royale was adapted in 2006 as Bond's first mission in a reimagined continuity, in keeping with the fact that it was the first ever Bond novel and first ever Bond story. But what-if Timothy Dalton decided to round of his darker grimmer portrayal of Bond with a rendition of 007's first published adventure as his last mission at the end of the Cold War? This is a strictly imaginary version of 'what might...

This is good, however I don't think it's different enough from the actual film. Who would you cast in all of the roles, and who would you have direct/score/perform the title song?

It would have been great to have seen Dalton in this version of CR. However, EON would not have had the courage to do it "properly" back then. Let us not forget that MGW wanted TLD to be a reeboot, but Cubby over-rulled him in favour of more of the same.
