`The Artist` was originally shot in colourOscar-winning silent movie 'The Artist' was originally shot in colour in case film bosses did not want to turn the image in black and white.

The film was the massive winner at Sunday night's Academy Awards, taking five prizes including the coveted Best Picture title in addition to Best Actor for its star Jean Dujardin and Best Director for Michel Hazanavicius.

The Best Picture win made 'The Artist' only the second one silent film ever to scoop the Academy's top prize after 'Wings' in 1929, reported Daily Star.

However, Mark Bridges, who won the most efficient Costume Design Oscar for his work at the movie, revealed the image was originally shot in colour before being converted to black and white.

"It was filmed in colour because there has been an opportunity in some markets it'd be shown in colour," Bridges said. Producer Thomas Langmann was later asked whether he has any plans to release colour footage, but he said, "No. Sorry, but no."
