By the way, the other guy is the baddy, Mathieu Amalric and the other girl is Gemma Arterton, another agent in the film. I think it's safe to say Bond will get it on with both of them... uh, the girls that is.

i like the title.

still haven't gotten around to watching Casino Royale because I was that pissed off with the one before that, Die Another Day, with the invisible car and the sun laser and Madonna cameo and the guy with the robot arm of electricity and james bond surfing in Iceland?! what a load of bullshit that flick was!

So by 'twice the action' do they mean 'half the plot and character development'?

that chick is hot.

Ha, I've just noticed they've managed to get '007' into the title again - must be a requirement when they come up with these names... There has to be at least two 'O's!

Goo goo Gaah gaah

QoS?

Sounds like an old BBC game show

Photoshop Challenge??

that new bond girl is hotttt!!!

Red Tops today say Amy may be back in the seat to 'sing the theme toon' if she keeps in Rehab

Awful title. Quantum of Solace? That's like saying the chair of table.

Not a great title but I'm confident that it will be great. Did Marc Forster direct Casino Royale?

a local radio station recently asked its listeners for locations that might be pitched to the makers of the new Bond movie. during the segment, the DJ mentioned the Marine Pub in the seaside town of Littlehampton, West Sussex. the 3rd Assault Unit (marines) were once based the pub and Ian Flemming developed his original Bond character while also living there.

fuck! i go to LA (the name used by my Mother-in-Law for Littlehampton) nearly every day.

Should have called it 'Morsel of Comfort' instead.

It's a Fleming title (although an obscure one...)

For Your Eyes Only is a collection of James Bond short stories by Ian Fleming. It was first published by Jonathan Cape on April 11, 1960. It marked a change of pace for Ian Fleming, who previously had written only full-length novels featuring James Bond.

The collection contains five short stories ''From a View to a Kill'', ''For Your Eyes Only'', ''Quantum of Solace'', ''Risico'' and ''The Hildebrand Rarity''.

Coming soon

James Bond will return in The Hildebrand Rarity

James Bond - Pandora Tommorow

My brother found this on a Police forum. I don't know if it's for real or not.

Since February 16th, and until May 1st, the tour of The Police is on break. What do they make therefore during all this time, will you ask ? Revelations were made this morning on BBC: they're shooting a film!!! And what a film : the last scenes of forthcoming James Bond. They will not play good or evil, they will simply play their own role, the final scene of the film being a mad running chase publicly taking place in a concert in California. Three weeks of filming are necessary for this only scene. Thousands of extras were hired to feature the public (to keep the secret of filming, no information was made on the official The Police site : this it is definitely a pity !) The source points out that ''Daniel Craig, alias James Bond follows the nasty villain across the crowd during a concert. In spite of gunshots, and panic in the public, the group goes on playing on stage. This group, it is the famous trio which made its come back in 2007: The Police''.

So Sting is going to do the theme then? Ouch.

'Risico' is a pretty cool title.

Like Macy Gray in Spiderman...

Do you reckon they'll dumb down the title for americans?

Like with Harry Potter and the Sorceror's (Philosopher) Stone

Loved the touch in Casino Royale of Bond driving the car from Goldfinger

I have the Corgi version

yep i prefer the lack oif the stupid humour that the Moore bond brought in....

Criag isn't the suave Bond but much more of a hard ass bond.... definitely no compatible with stupid pun humour like Moore or Brosnan.

BEST MOVIE EVAH!!!

But Fez Casino Royale had humour in it and that worked fine, Quantum had about two jokes in the whole film.

Plus I agree that License to Kill was a cracking Bond film, that one was quite similar to the two latest Bond films in that it was showing a darker, more serious Bond (and I totally disagree that the humour in the Dalton films undermined them).

i heart bond, looking forward to this

My stupid colleague is trying to get tickets to it tonight even though she's never seen Casino Royale and thought that Brosnan was still Bond.

tell her she shouldn't see it till she's seen casino royale as she won't have any idea what's going on - unlike other bond movies this is not a standalone film but instead is a sequel to casino royal - it starts exactly where casino royale finished (actually maybe about 30mins of real tiem after the last scene in casino royale)

there is aboslutely no point seeing this without seeing casino royale.

I was going to, but she's being a fuckhead, so I'm quite happy to keep quiet and let her waste her money. I hate when people go and see Bond just because they think they should, when they have no idea what it's all about and just think it'll be a good action film.

As long as he quits before he gets too old...
unlike Roger Moore

Casino Royale had humour in it? Where?

I'll wait for DVD I think.

Fantastic. Great action sequences, brilliantly shot, not much dialogue but no real unnecessary diatribes either, which is good... Mathieu Almaric fantastic as the villain of the piece (or one of), and Daniel Craig really owning the Bond role.

A bit disjointed in parts, but a worthy follow-on from Casino Royale

(and I totally disagree that the humour in the Dalton films undermined them).

I saw The Living Daylights again last night and was surprised how small the amount of one-liners were in it. It was a lot more wry than I thought; though the obvious one-liners (''I gave him the boot'') appear to be a bit painful for Dalton to say. I think his Bond was definitely a transitional one - unfortunately the producers opted for more Moore-like safeness with films after his, at least until Craig.

there is aboslutely no point seeing this without seeing casino royale.

It works by itself - but some of it isn't explained for those that came in late. Mind you, the series of films has done that before: references are made throughout to Bond's marriage (at least, before the Craig reboot) in other films. Though I guess it hasn't been as integral to the other films as knowing what happened in CR is to this one.

have to re-watch casino now cause i'd forgotten a lot of it and felt slightly lost dring quantum. was good though, and i love the title sequence but i think the character of greene could have been more sadistic. he was good considering what he had to work with. the scene with the oily girl looked cool.

luv it.

from those crazy b3ta folks

I liked it
Especially the opera sequence
They took it to a different place, then reigned it back

Lots of nods to what has gone before
Fields's fate was a Goldfinger rework, and the whole Bond on the lam was 'Licence To Kill'
It is very much along the lines of what they tried to do with Dalton

Unlike the Moore/Brosnan era, the travel made some sense too

The only worry is that they've taken two films to Year Zero the character
But do they know what to do with him?

But do they know what to do with him?

The smart thing to do from here would be to re-make On Her Majesty's Secret Service. The storyline's a natural fit.
