Casino Royale screenwriter not thrilled with Bond Girl selection

Last week the long search for the latest Bond girl came to an end, with Eva Green joining the Casino cast. Producers Michael G Wilson and Barbara Broccoli said they were "thrilled that Eva has joined a first rate, international cast".

Someone who doesn’t seem so thrilled is Casino Royale script doctor Paul Haggis - reports Total Film.

After collecting his BAFTA on Sunday night, the Crash helmer, standing alongside Bond hopeful Thandie Newton, said of the casting: "I think we all know who I was rooting for" and nodded his head towards Newton. Thandie simply shrugged her shoulders and admitted: "That ship has sailed I’m afraid - it’s a shame."

Thanks to `Kanaga` for the alert.
