"Casino Royale" was also a major influence behind the resurgence of Canadian online casinos including the "Lucky Nugget Casino".
Currently, high-profile actors including "Mad Max: Fury Road" star Tom Hardy and Oscar-nominee Michael Fassbender are front-runners to land the '007' role, although some fans are also rooting for "Thor" actors Idris Alba and Tom Hiddleston.
