Perhaps the secret mission of James Bond is to keep Surrealism, Expressionism and Psychedelia alive in the our imaginations via his opening credits. Daniel Kleinman created the titles for 2012′s ‘Skyfall’, as well as for the series reboot, ‘Casino Royale’ (2006) Here, Kleinman used the classic imagery of playing cards dealt into a stark, digitised environment.

The rest, as well as a rare interview with Daniel Kleinman himself, can be found on Neil Alcock‘s superb James Bond blog, The Incredible Suit. The Bond titles sequences were originated by designer Maurice Binder, and there’s more on Daniel Kleinman here. The finished ‘Casino Royale’ title sequence is here
