MONTEGO BAY, St James - Virgin Atlantic chairman, billionaire Sir Richard Branson and one of his planes are to appear in the new James Bond movie, Casino Royale, scheduled for release in the United Kingdom in November.

The announcement was made Tuesday at a press conference held at the Half Moon Hotel in Rose Hall by Paul Charles, the communication director for Virgin Atlantic.


Virgin Atlantic chairman Sir Richard Branson relaxes with actress Caterina Murino in Montego Bay. Both will appear in the upcoming James Bond movie.

The British billionaire, whose airline made its inaugural flight from London to Montego Bay on Monday, appears in the movie during a check-in sequence at the Miami International Airport, one of Virgin Atlantic's 27 destinations.

"I am happy that they have chosen Virgin," Branson said as he spoke to local and international reporters at the press conference.
"James Bond is original, cool and sophisticated and Virgin Atlantic is delighted to be a global partner of the new James Bond movie, Casino Royale, and I'm just a little excited to be playing a role in the movie".
As a global partner of the film, Virgin Atlantic will later this year launch a series of promotional and marketing initiatives connected with the movie, which was shot in The Bahamas, UK and in the Czech capital of Prague.

Casino Royale stars Daniel Craig as James Bond, Eve Green as Vesper, Mads Mikkelsen as Le Chiffre and Caterina Murino as Solange. Actress Murino, who was also present at yesterday's press briefing, said working on the set was a good experience.
"Working on the movie was a good experience and it taught me a lot," said Murino.
