Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: MGM, Sony, Action, Adaptation, Drama, Sequels, Trailers, Upcoming Releases,
Back in June, the Quantum of Solace producers gave us our first glimpse of the next 007 installment. Several months later, our interest is renewed.
This new clip moves past the original trailer’s dark and emotional tone and dives right into the series’ nuts and bolts: the bad guys and the Bond women.
Quantum of Solace - originally scheduled to open on November 7 - will now debut one week later (Nov. 14).

Who knew Harry Potter’s departure would have such repercussions?
When Entertainment Weekly produced last week’s Fall Movie Preview edition (the one with that bespectacled wizard on the front), I don’t think they anticipated having such outdated information. Unfortunately, Warner Bros.’ decision to move Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince to July 2009 has set off a series of schedule changes.

Quantum of Solace Trailer
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: MGM, Sony, Action, Adaptation, Drama, Sequels, Trailers, Upcoming Releases,
Of all the sequels releasing in 2008, there are only two that really have me excited: The Dark Knight and Quantum of Solace.
In this new trailer, we see that Bond (Daniel Craig) is still quite raw after the death of Vesper Lynd. In fact, the movie (according to co-producer Michael Wilson) picks up “literally an hour” after where Casino Royale left off.
Quantum - also starring Judi Dench, Gemma Arterton, Mathieu Amalric and Olga Kurylenko - is scheduled to open on November 7th.
Bond Mobile Takes Accidental Plunge
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: MGM, Action, Sequels,
Although we’ve grown accustomed to seeing James Bond do flashy things with his vehicle, I don’t think his iconic car was intended for this.
This past Saturday, an Aston Martin being used on Quantum of Solace took a dive into Lake Garda while en route to the set. Wet weather forced the vehicle - and its driver - to plunge into the waters in northern Italy.
Surprisingly, the person behind the wheel reportedly escaped with only minor injuries. I don’t think the same could be said for the car.

New ‘Bond’ Title Announced
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: MGM, Sony, Action, Sequels, Casting, Upcoming Releases,
Up until now, the 22nd installment in the Bond franchise had simply been known as Bond 22. Now the latest Daniel Craig outing officially has a name: Quantum of Solace.
Solace, which is scheduled for a Nov. 7th release, will pick up where Casino Royale left off. British actress Gemma Arterton joins Craig on this latest mission as Agent Fields while Mathieu Amalric (The Diving Bell and the Butterfly) will assume the role of the nemesis. Meanwhile, Olga Kurylenko has the honor of replacing Eva Green as the latest Bond girl.
Now’s your time to vote. Which 2008 sequel currently has the worst title: Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull or Quantum of Solace?

Next Bond Girl and Villain Cast
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Columbia Pictures, MGM, Action, Sequels, Casting, Upcoming Releases,
Production on the 22nd Bond film started yesterday with two relative newcomers (at least to American audiences) filling lead roles.
British actress Gemma Arterton will star as ‘Fields’, the latest woman to give James Bond a run for his money. No other details have been released about her role in this installment, which will pick up where Casino Royale ended. Based on her photo alone, I’m guessing James won’t be mourning Vesper Lynd for long.
Meanwhile, Mathieu Amalric, who can currently be seen as a paralyzed man in The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, has been cast as Daniel Craig’s next nemesis. Fun Optical Fact: Amalric’s Diving character communicates with others by blinking with his left eye. Now he’s following up Royale’s Le Chiffre - the man who was known for weeping blood from his eyes. (Yes, I know that was random. Sue me.)
The next installment, directed by Marc Forster (The Kite Runner), is scheduled for release on November 7th.

Deborah Kerr: An Actress to Remember
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Classics, Obituaries,
Best known for her roles in 1957’s An Affair to Remember (opposite Cary Grant) and 1953’s From Here to Eternity (opposite the one and only Burt Lancaster in the famous beach scene), legendary actress Deborah Kerr has passed away at age 86. Kerr won the Golden Globe and received an Academy Award nomination during her lengthy Hollywood career, which included more than forty films.
Born in Scotland, Kerr blazed on the screen with her red hair and powerful voice. It was that same voice which helped Kerr land the role of a lifetime – Anna in The King and I. She starred opposite Yul Brenner, the sexiest bald man in the history of Hollywood (you wish, Telly Savales), making film history in the musical with classic songs like ‘Getting to Know You’. Kerr became a Bond girl at age 46 in the film Casino Royale.

Daniel Craig, New Director Attached to Latest Bond Film
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Action, Sequels, Thrillers, Casting, Upcoming Releases,
I sometimes forget how lucky I am. I have food, shelter, family, friends….and now the opportunity to see the sexy Daniel Craig buttoned up in another suit. Life is good.
It should come as no surprise that Craig was recently confirmed for the next 007 film. His turn as the legendary James Bond helped bring Casino Royale amazing reviews and impressive box office numbers—and made this girl care about the series once again.
Of particular note was the name tapped for the helm of this latest venture: Marc Forster. The acclaimed director—known for his work on Finding Neverland, Monster’s Ball and Stranger Than Fiction—will be taking over the reins from Royale director, Martin Campbell. Oscar-award winning screenwriter Paul Haggis (Crash) will once again return to help adapt the screenplay. He also contributed to the Casino script.
Forster recently wrapped work on the film adaptation of a best-selling novel, The Kite Runner. Production on ‘Bond 22’ is set to begin at the end of this year in hopes of a November 2008 release.

FilmCrunch 029: James Bond: Casino Royale Review
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Columbia Pictures, Action, Adaptation, Adventure, Sequels, Short FilmCrunch, Theatrical Reviews, Videocasts,
Veronica Santiago and Neil Estep review the theatrical release of Casino Royal, the latest James Bond flick.
James Bond’s first 007 mission takes him to Madagascar, where he is to spy on a terrorist Mollaka. Not everything goes as planned and Bond decides to investigate, independently of the MI6 agency, in order to track down the rest of the terrorist cell. Following a lead to the Bahamas, he encounters Dimitrios and his girlfriend, Solange. He learns that Dimitrios is involved with Le Chiffre, banker to the world’s terrorist organizations. Secret Service intelligence reveals that Le Chiffre is planning to raise money in a high-stakes poker game in Montenegro at Le Casino Royale. MI6 assigns 007 to play against him, knowing that if Le Chiffre loses, it will destroy his organization. ‘M’ places Bond under the watchful eye of the beguiling Vesper Lynd. At first skeptical of what value Vesper can provide, Bond’s interest in her deepens as they brave danger together—and even torture at the hands of Le Chiffre. In Montenegro, Bond allies himself with Matthis, MI6’s local field agent, and Felix Leiter, who is representing the interests of the CIA. The marathon game proceeds with dirty tricks and violence, raising the stakes beyond blood money and reaching a terrifying climax.
