Instead of the usual Aston Martin,
the new 007 pulled up in a black sedan, but the DBS was also
on show. The red carpet stretched
the complete length of the square, from the Sony tent to the
door of the cinema, totaling a run of 60 metres.
1200 guests were invited to the CineStar theatre, amongst which
was actor Diertmar Wunder, who provides Daniel Craig's voice
for the dubbed German-language version of the film.

The screening commenced at 20:30, with all men
over 18 dressing in the mandatory tuxedo and black tie uniform
of 00-agents.
Martin Campbell told reporters on the red carpet that filming
Casino Royale "was very exciting". When asked if it
is the best Bond film to date, Campbell replied "others
must decide that".
