I didn’t realise – until I saw this on BBC - that `Casino Royale’ is the first Bond film to be shown in China. Previous 007 films fell foul of censors, but the new flick will get a run at more than 100 cinemas. Sony Pictures, the film’s distributor, said `Casino Royale’ will be screened unedited in the country as its gets the widest release of any foreign film. Daniel Craig, Eva Green and director Martin Campbell were at Monday’s Beijing premiere, to be followed by a similar event in Shanghai. We’re told, too, that pirated DVD copies of the film are doing the rounds for 15 yuan, or less than a quid.PLAYING THEIR CARDS RIGHT: According to the Associated Press, the producers of `Casino Royale’ hired local experts to ensure the Chinese-language dubbing of its gambling scenes sounded authentic.
