You may be aware that GSN is the only U.S. television network dedicated to game-related programming and interactive game playing, and that 'High Stakes Poker' is GSN's exclusive cash game TV poker series. What you may not know is that High Stakes Poker has scheduled a special four show marathon beginning Monday, November 13 (8:00 PM to 12:00 PM ET) sponsored by Casino Royale, which is the upcoming James Bond film from Columbia Pictures and MGM. The four show marathon will include interviews with the Casino Royale actors as well as behind the scenes footage from Casino Royale throughout the evening. Daniel Craig stars as the new "007" James Bond, the smoothest, sexiest, most lethal agent on Her Majesty's Secret Service in the Casino Royale film. Based on the first Bond book written by Ian Fleming, the story recounts the making of the world's greatest secret agent. Martin Campbell is directing the 21st adventure in the 44-year-old franchise, from a screenplay by Neal Purvis & Robert Wade and Paul Haggis. You can see the entire film when it is released in theaters everywhere on November 17, 2006.
