Casino Royale ITV premiere scheduled for 19 September

Daniel Craig's debut 007 adventure begins at 9:00pm

I've just seen a cool TV Spot for Casino Royale over on ITV1. It's on next saturday, around 9ish for anyone who's interested. It'll be interesting to see what will be omitted.

Good news, thanks for the info.

[DamnCoffee]

Not a problem! Always here to help!

2 hours and 20 minutes of footage I reckon.

Probably nothing, if it's being shown after the nine o'clock "watershed".

However, it'll be mildly interesting to see it in pan-and-scan, assuming they're not showing in it widescreen. No pan-and-scan version has ever been made available in this country, unless I'm very much mistaken.

Not that I'm a pan-and-scan man. Heck, I now consider anything other than Blu-ray to be slumming it. Still, it'd undeniably be a curiosity. I mean, if you're gonna watch CASINO ROYALE for the billionth time, it might as well be in slightly different form.

I thought they'd save this for nearer Christmas as it's a guaranteed ratings win. Still, I suppose they need the money wherever they can get it.

[sthgilyadgnivileht]

Yeah nearer christmas would have made some sense, but its good ITV are showing it, as that is the traditional home for Bond on TV in the UK. (DIdn't channel four make a hefty bid for the TV rights of this film?).
A pan and scan viewing will indeed be interesting.

When I was younger it was such a big deal when any Bond film was on telly, before my parents bought a VCR it was such a treat that subsequent generations will never understand,(hell ITV2, 3 show them about every other week these days). Then VHS video recorders allowed you to tape the films and watch them at your leisure but when the selling of original copies came about I was more bothered about buying them and having the proper films without adverts. The idea of Bond

Now with DVD and also more recently Blu ray I don't see the big deal, really CR sold bucket load on DVD, you can pick it up for under £3 in some places. Premiering films on terrestrial be it Bond or not is about as eventful as the opening of an envelope.

Thing are just too easy to obtain now, when it was just TV and Bond films were 1 or 2 a year maybe it would be something to get exited about but now on old fashioned UK TV not really.

Well it won't be pan and scan in the old sense as the tellies are widescreen now and films are transmitted with black bars even then. It'll be only a very slight cropping.

Even so, people loved the film (I think that's why it's so cheap on DVD now- I think most people already have a copy so it's hard to sell them! ) and it'll get very good ratings.

There may not be any cropping at all. Casino Royale was shot in Super35 so there may be an open matte version which would give extra image above and below the 2.35 original aspect ratio

[Vauxhall]

Dammit, I'll be at Coldplay at Wembley. Oh well, I can just watch the DVD instead.

Ah, yes. Forgot about that.

so there may be an open matte version which would give extra image above and below the 2.35 original aspect ratio

Which was presumably used for the U.S. "fullscreen" DVD (even though there would still be black bars above and below when played via an old-fashioned, non-widescreen TV set).

It was shot in super35 but for some odd reason they hard matted (probably the special effects were only done within the 2.35:1 frame) so the fullscreen version over here is a panned and scanned version and the parts that I saw of it in this form looked pretty good. If its shown in HD then it probably will be slightly cropped to fit the HD TV aspect ratio.

Me = Wildly jealous!!!

[Aris007]

You're so bloody lucky! I hate you!

[The Shark]

Damn. I feel sorry for you.

[Royal Dalton]

If the trailers are anything to go by, it's been cropped down from 2:40:1 to 1.85:1, rather than being an unmasked version.

[DamnCoffee]

Just a reminder that this is on tonight guys, incase anyone forgot.

[DAN LIGHTER]

And apart from the ad breaks It's all good. He really is my favorite Bond. Looks like pan and scan, but it takes nothing away from the film. Just at the bit where you can see the film crew in Mathis sunglasses

Dammit, I'll be at Coldplay at Wembley.

Damn. I feel sorry for you.

I 2nd that, but each to their own

I've been flicking between it and Match Of The Day/Football League Show on BBC.

[DAN LIGHTER]

You have been flicking between channels when a Bond film is on? How very Dare You!

But of course I have seen it over 10 times, cant say I have been glued to the chair myself.

I think they speeded up the end credits a tad?

Haha! I'm quite ashamed of myself, even more so given that Match Of The Day wasn't particularly outstanding this weekend!

I thought it looked rather fab: to be honest I think I preferred it filling the screen than watching with black bars. On a widescreen TV you're not missing much.

[DaveBond21]

I'm surprised it took so long to get onto UK television. I think it has been on Aussie TV two or three times.

[marktmurphy]

It's been on cable (last Christmas I think) but this is the first on terrestrial.

[zerominus]

The UK terrestrial premiere may not have created much of a stir (understandably as already discussed above), but my first viewing on the big screen will live for a long long time in the memory.
