"Bourne Ultimatum" wins award
LONDON (Reuters) - The public chose "The Bourne Ultimatum", starring Matt Damon as amnesiac assassin Jason Bourne, as film of the year in a vote held by the Richard Attenborough Film Awards.
The national vote was coordinated via 25 regional British media outlets, and several thousand people responded, organisers said on Thursday.
"The Bourne Ultimatum" was selected from a shortlist of 30 critical and commercial hits selected by industry insiders.
"We shot most of the sequences in ’The Bourne Ultimatum’ in London and at the UK’s Pinewood Studios with a primarily British crew, so I’m particularly excited that this award has been voted for by the Brits themselves," Damon said in a statement.
The public vote was the seventh and final award made in this year’s Richard Attenborough Film Awards, named after the acclaimed actor and director.
