Abstract
James Bond was created by Ian Fleming on the pages of Casino Royale , a 1962 spy thriller, who since has been adapted in various media: film, television, radio, comics and computer games. However the 2006 Casino Royale film adaptation stands out, because, as a reboot of the series, it balances between honoring the literary original and staying true to the James Bond film formula, at the same time reinvigorating and refreshing the whole franchise for a new movie-going audience. The Author of this article aims at answering the question: what does it really mean that James Bond is going back to its roots? As a result, the real redefinition of the James Bond paradigm can be seen on a structural level in reference to mechanism of tension building. Suspense may be seen as a key to adapting Casino Royale , which opens up modifications in the way the protagonist and the antagonist are characterized, as well as making the narrative conflicts and stakes more real and meaningful.
