Fight night

Two New Zealanders have been nominated for the 2007 Taurus World Stunt Awards. Ben Cooke (pictured) and Kirk Maxwell are both up for Best Fight, for their work in Casino Royale and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest respectively.

The awards take place in Los Angeles on May 20, and will be televised in 90 countries.
