Quantum of Solace – Bond 007
UK release 31st October 2008
US 7th November 2008.
The first trailer is now available.
Long awaited, the follow up in the latest James Bond series of 22 outstanding movies, Quantum of Solace, arrives at our screens, firstly in the UK late October, followed by Europe and the rest of the world the week after.
This is the second of the Daniel Craig 007 movies. Each different Bond has taken the film a different way. It will be interesting to see if this Bond maintains his quality start from Casino Royale.
Wikipedia informs us that the first 21 films have cost just over one billion dollars to make, have taken $4.3 billion at the box office, which when adjusted for inflation equals $11.6 million in today’s terms. The money looks well spent from both movie maker and movie supporter points of view. The profits look long to continue.
Die Another Day and Live and Let Die remain my favorites, with Roger Moore my favorite Bond. I do like the way John Cleese was brought in to take over Q’s mantle, even though he’ll be missing this time along with Moneypenny. Dame Judi Dench continues the real menace of ‘M’.
We know the effects will be great, the stunt work brilliant and we’ll get exactly what we expect. It’s just a shame they can’t make one every year.
Who will sing the song? It’s better than winning the Eurovision song content.
It’ll be worth the flight ticket to the UK to see it on opening night.
