In the 2006 movie, Bond actually becomes 007 in the opening scenes, by dispatching corrupt MI6 section chief Dryden and his 'contact.' As Dryden says before being shot, 'your file shows no kills, and it takes -' before Bond interrupts with 'two.' Much like the rest of the film, Casino Royale obviously takes its cues from the books when it comes to Bond's 007 backstory, but switches things up for a more dramatic opening sequence. In Fleming's Casino Royale, Bond - a former Naval commander now working for MI6 - gives a full account of how he became 007, explaining that he'd 'killed two villains' in the years prior, for which he was 'awarded a Double O number in the Service.' According to Bond, these on-duty kills occurred on two separate occasions: one in New York and one in Stockholm.

In the movies, 2006's Casino Royale was the first time audiences were given an on-screen Bond origin story, even if it did differ from the books. Related: James Bond: Every Time 007 Quit The Secret Service (And Why)
