Marking a new stage in venality, British Airways has
edited out appearances by Virgin Group chairman Sir
Richard Branson (and his Virgin Atlantic airline) from the
movie Casino Royale for display on BA flights.
Branson famously
negotiated a cameo for himself in the James Bond flick
-- he sets off an alarm while passing through an airport
metal detector -- by providing the production the use of one
of his planes. BA's explanation for cutting out the rival
tycoon: "Many films are edited in some way on board." They
should have just edited in BA CEO Willie Walsh as a security
guard ready to give Branson a solid "wanding."

Branson's Bond Cameo Was Bought
SIR RICHARD BRANSON landed cameo roles for himself and his son
in the new JAMES BOND movie after he helped to save movie
dollars by providing a plane at the last minute. A lifelong
Bond fan, Branson asked director MARTIN CAMPBELL if his
generosity would warrant a part in CASINO ROYALE.
Producer BARBARA BROCCOLI explains, "He was very supportive of us and he helped us out when we needed a plane in Prague. "He said, 'Can I just do a little cameo' and Martin said, 'Come to the airport and we'll stick you in the little security thing and you can set the bells off.' "He had a lot of fun and he was a trooper and it was a long night. He and his son were in the scene and they were great." Branson can be seen playing a frenzied passenger going through airport security in the new Bond film.
