21, Ben Campbell's Burgundy Shirt

original movie costume

This item was used in the production of the movie "21" in 2008. Ben Campbell was played by Jim Sturgess in the movie. This item is a "J. Crew" burgundy cotton shirt. This shirt is an adult medium for men and is in good condition, except for some wrinkles from post production storage. This shirt comes with an official COA from Columbia Pictures.

This item is in two major scenes in the movie, one toward the middle and one toward the end of the movie. The first scene is the night after the MIT team arrives in Las Vegas with Ben Campbell for the first time. The team proceeds to check into the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, and then card counts at the Blackjack tables all night long. The next morning Professor Micky Rosa (Kevin Spacey) gives a team meeting and gives pointers to all of the team members involved. Micky tells Choi (Aaron Yoo) to stop stealing, he tells Jimmy Fisher (Jacob Pitts) that the only thing worse than a loser is someone who will not admit that they played badly and messed up, and he tells the rest of the team other various stuff. Micky Rosa says to Ben, "And Ben, good work. You came out of that chute like a pro. Keep it up." This is the point when Fisher starts to become jealous of Ben and his hate escalates during the whole course of the movie. The second scene is after Ben Campbell gets into a huge fight with Micky about how he chose not to listen to his team members while playing Blackjack. Ben decided to gamble a little and lost a large sum of money for the team. Micky decides to abandon the team and Ben becomes the new leader of the team. The team goes to the Riviera Casino to play Blackjack and Micky finds the team at the casino. Since Micky is undercover he turns Ben into Cole Williams (Laurence Fishburne). Then Cole arrives at the Blackjack table and tells Ben that he needs to talk with him privately, so Ben leaves with Cole after feeling intimidated. But before they leave together Cole says to Ben, "Come on, kid. See if we can't get you that chicken dinner." Cole beats Ben up and gives him an ultimatum. This shirt can be seen in these scenes for a large portion of the movie that ranges from 10 to 15 minutes in time duration.
