One out of nine for Casino Royale

Monday, February 12th, 2007

Casino Royale failed to achieve any great success at the Baftas. Out of nine nominations, the James Bond movie won just one award, and that was for sound.

Actress Eva Green did though take an award home with her. The 26-year-old, who played Vesper Lynd in Casino Royale, was given ‘The Orange Rising Star’ award.

Daniel Craig was beaten to the Best Actor award by Forest Whitaker, for his portrayal of Idi Amin in The Last King Of Scotland.

Composer David Arnold missed out on the film music award to Babel director Gustavo Santaolalla.

Of course, Dame Judi Dench had no chance of snatching the best actress award from fellow Dame, Helen Mirren.

Amazingly two pirated versions of the newly released Casino Royale were already online days after the movie’s opening night. Reportedly there have already been 200,000 downloads.

Apparently one version was shot using a camcorder in a cinema and was of poor picture and sound quality.

Envisional’s head of piracy intelligence, Dr David Priceat, said: “There are now several million active digital pirates.”

Of course, those of you who want to experience the latest James Bond offering in all its glory can do so via your local cinema!
