Quantum of Solace Teaser Trailer

The upcoming James Bond film, "Quantum of Solace", may be ridiculously titled, but it's highly anticipated after the last Bond film, starring Daniel Craig, blew the doors off the box office.

I didn't enjoy the last film that much. Sure, it had some decent action scenes, but much of the movie felt forced and unimaginative; as if they were trying very hard to reinvent James Bond, but fell short of the mark. I was also disappointed that they managed to make Euro-actress Eva Green look much more trashy than she deserves. Still, between the parkour scenes and Craig's surly demeanor, the film was successful enough for the Earth to guarantee that we'll eventually see "Bond 2^8".

While I'm not really anticipating "Quantum of Solace", I am interested in seeing new Bond Girl, Ukrainian beauty Olga Kurylenko, flex her stuff and possibly push Craig down a mountainside. No?

\Film reports that the teaser trailer has been released and will be shown before "Hancock", which is opening this week. I've been a James Bond fan since I was a kid, and, though I enjoy the movies less now, it still summons a nostaglic sense of globe-trotting adventure.



Is it just me, or does anyone else think that this new film seems remarkably similar to "The Bourne Identity"? Also, I will admit that the trailer did nothing for me - until the final 20 seconds, where that James Bond theme starts playing and things blow up. Apparently, I'm easily bought.

The Bourne Identity would never have happened without James Bond, or more importantly, without James Bond running out of steam in the 90's. That J.B. is now looking to J.B. for inspiration is a little pathetic. Recycle something often enough and it's bound to lose its form.

That said. I'm there.

JB on JB... even the initials match.

I think the producers of James Bond have definitely made a concious decision to update Bond for the new generation.
