New ‘Quantum of Solace’ Videos: Up Close with Bond

James Bond: Quantum of Solace

One of the films that is very high on my list for the rest of 2008 is the upcoming 22nd James Bond flick Quantum of Solace. And even though absolutely know one knows what the film’s title means, I am glad to see Daniel Craig back in action, chasing down Bond girls and doing all of those fancy stunts. This one appears to be another solid bond flick, much like Casino Royale, as evidence of the strong reaction to the recently released teaser trailer.

Along with the trailer, Sony has begun to release some of the behind the scenes footage that was gathered on location, as well as interviews with the cast and crew. Those of you with tricky internet skills may have seen these elsewhere, but this was my first time seeing them, so I thought that it can’t hurt to share. First up is the newest featurette, one that includes interview footage of stars Daniel Craig and Gemma Arterton talking about what it’s like to work with director Marc Forster:

We also have a second video to show you that focuses on new femme fatale Olga Kurylenko (Hitman) and the rigorous training program that she was put through in preparation for here role as Camille. Have a look for yourself below:

Quantum of Solace is directed, as I mentioned before, by Marc Forster, director of Stranger than Fiction and The Kite Runner. Returning to their roles from Casino Royale are Bond himself, Daniel Craig and Dame Judy Dench as M. Mathieu Amalric (The Diving Bell and the Butterfly) will play bad guy Dominic Greene, while Olga Kurylenko and Gemma Arterton will be Bond’s ladies.

The film hits theaters on November 7, 2008.

    Daymn Olga Kurylenko is fine.
  • The 007 trailer, aside from The Watchmen, is the only trailer that sends a chill up my spine every time I watch it. It happens right after the action builds up and the music drops out and you see the 007 fit into the title...gets me every time.

    I really like the videos, however I felt that in the first one, the line "Don't treat me like I'm...stupid" sounded terrible. Hopefully that'll sound differently in theaters.

    Daniel Craig is gangsta-no word of a lie...but Bond? WTF!? Why are people so willing to accept him as Bond? Especially a BLOND BOND?!?!?!?! At least they should of made dude dye his hair. Let him get down and gritty and come w/a spy or gangster franchise around him like Layer Cake-but from the moment they selected him to replace Pierce????!!!!! That made and still makes no bloody sense at all! So yeah, the new Bong girl ain't Halle or the fyne ass chick from Octopussy but she's still hot-but c'mon....we really have to sit through watching this dude painfully try to play a role he was never made for?....C'MON!!!! Have some Pepsi Max & "WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!!!" You'll quicker fit a square block in a star-shaped hole. Casino Royale was one of the most boring Bond movies ever and I'm sure w/DC as Bond still, this one will lag too.

    Big Word have you ever read the original Novels. In the early books Bond was nothing like the film versions after Sean Connery left the series. He was a gritty every man who was not a pretty boy but hard and cynical due to the life he had led to that point. Craig has that look and demeanor which in my opnion gives him more plausability than actors like Brosnan.

    On another note my one tech nerd complaint is why is Bond using a surpressed H&K MP5 when there are much better weapon systems on the market? Even the H&K G36 is a better weapon for what he is using the MP5 for.
  • There were James Bond books? Man, I've got to read those. I have seen every bond movie, including the old ones. I'm possibly going to see this one. Maybe Casino Royale was boring because it had too many special effects and not enough story or interaction between characters.
