Quantum of Solace

|
Release Date: Nov

Release Date: Nov. 14

Director: Marc Forster

Writer: Paul Haggis, Neal Purvis, Robert Wade

Starring: Daniel Craig, Olga Kurylenko, Mathieu Amalric, Judi Dench

Studio/Run Time: MGM/Columbia, 106 mins.


Purists complained when Daniel Craig was cast as 007 (A blonde Bond?!?), but the semi-reboot Casino Royale proved them wrong. Craig's take on Bond turned out to be lean and vicious. He's a far cry from any other version of the character, but no less magnetic. Apply Trainspotting's assessment of Sean Connery's Bond years: He's a muscular actor. Too bad the muscles are most of what Craig has to leverage in his second turn, Quantum of Solace.

The 22nd theme song for the 22nd James Bond movie, Quantum of Solace, won’t be like all the others. Sure, the title still mentions dying, and it’ll probably play over the opening credits like all the others, but this one will be special. It will be the franchise’s first duet.

Watch the new James Bond trailer online

|
James Bond trailers are sort of like a funny experiment in system overload. Bond films themselves are obviously action-packed, but also provide the added bonus of a plot so you can convince yourself you wouldn’t pay your $10 just to watch the recklessly charming Brit roll around on the floor (woman still in arms), finding a way to escape his staked-out hotel room through a hidden fire escape. But given the constraints of space, the Bond trailer has the daunting task of packing all the action of the jet ski chase, speedboat chase, motorcycle chase and classic bedroom chase into under two minutes. The fact that they even take the time to address a plot in these things is an achievement in itself.
