Here are some more pictures of Casino Royale’s Daniel Craig’s stay in China.

Daniel Craig and girlfriend producer Satsuki Mitchell are out and about in Beijing, China today for the premiere of his 007 film Casino Royale. Craig was excited to be in China saying, “It’s been an ambition of mine to get here, and I wish I had more time.”

Casino Royale director Martin Campbell (pictured below) was disappointed Monday to find pirated DVDs of “Ling ling qi” — Chinese for 007 — on the streets of Beijing, hours before the film’s China premiere and called such fakes a huge problem for the industry.

Daniel Craig on copyright piracy: “It hasn’t premiered here yet, but I think it’s been seen here. Someone tried to sell me a copy last night. I was wearing a hat and glasses so they didn’t recognize me. I understand the reality of the situation and it saddens me, not just because of the effect it has on the movie industry but because going to the cinema is a great experience. You’re missing out by watching a bad copy of a DVD with no sound and bad picture quality. As far as I’m concerned cinema is a collective experience and you get 50 percent more by going to the cinema.”

Not surprisingly, The British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) just nominated Daniel Craig for Best Actor for his performance in the new Bond film, Casino Royale. He is up against Leonardo DiCaprio(The Departed), Richard Griffiths (The History Boys), Forest Whitaker (The Last King Of Scotland) and Peter O’Toole (Venus).

Casino Royale scooped up a total of nine BAFTA awards while British royal drama The Queen led the pack with ten. Both were nominated for “Best Film of the Year” alongside The Departed, The Last King of Scotland, and Little Miss Sunshine.

Daniel Craig and producer girlfriend Satsuki Mitchell attended the premiere of Infamous‘ together at the Courthouse Kempinski Hotel earlier today in London. Infamous is another film about writer Truman Capote (played by Toby Jones). Daniel plays killer, Perry Smith, who shares a kiss with Capote. With regards to Toby and Daniel kissing, Toby joked, “”I never dreamed I would kiss James Bond.”

The film also co-stars Gwyneth Paltrow, Sandra Bullock, and Sigourney Weaver. Infamous opened in the US in limited release earlier this year and opens Jan. 19 in the UK.

A recent quote by Daniel Craig could land him a role in some Star Trek film or TV series: “I would love a stint in the TV show or in a film. It’s been a secret ambition of mine for years.”
