Well, from what I understand, there's never been a "real" version of the book adapted for the movies. The one that came out previously in theatres was a satire, and the only other version I know of was a television version, done as an episode of some anthology series. I think it's just a happy coincidence that "Casino Royale" happens to be the first book published in the Bond series, so I guess it made sense to the producers to present it as a prequel, rather than as another ambiguous-in-the-timeline sequel.
