Another look behind the scenes of QUANTUM OF SOLACE!!!
Hey folks, Harry here... I like these "Behind the Scenes" features that MGM has been giving us with QUANTUM OF SOLACE... not so much trailers as they are teasers that show us a glimpse of where in the world they're shooting, the look and feel of the James Bond universe - and I have to say... it's working, at least on me. That one overhead shot of the location in Panama feels otherworldly... and the idea of an old school prop plane dogfight... that's exhilarating. I love Bond going retro. Well... here... you take a look for yourself...

the the first one, hope this doesn't disappoint.

Keep it alive!

Marc Foster's scarf doesn't lead one to infer, "Hey, this is a director that understands Bond is manly," but...

Casino Royale sparked an otherwise non-interest in Bond for me... definitely looking forward to a bit of Solace.

You're looking mighty cardigan today. Myself, i feel a bit jock strap.

Yummy. I'll be taking my special popcorn bucket with the hole in the bottom to this one.

Thanks for the explanation. I have read every story I have come across concerning this film, and none have brought this up. It's good to know the title is based on something from the books (instead of some focus group finding those words cool).
-
bitch was everywhere in the last one, is she his field partner? And whats up with all the bond-girl equals too, and there's too much emotional drama in these movies. Barbara Broccoli is running the series into the ground.

All this over presentation. What other film needs to cuddle up to you this much? It's not even a mark against the film, it's just over-marketing...;-p

I wouldn't mind sweeping her chimney.

Most of the modern Bonds have taken little more than the title f
by 23GreatWoundsAllGotInBattle
The opening scene of Casino Royale was the best thing in a Bond movie in the last ten years. The rest...eh, not so much. I absolutely hated the scene where he sucked on the chick's fingers in the shower. That was so fuckin' creepy and not Bond-like at all. My interest in Bond kinda peaked with Goldeneye. I went back and watched all the old ones (Moore..blech!), read all the paperbacks, and then the one with Michelle Yeoh came out and it pretty much sucked. Series has been downhill since. I gotta see more of this upcoming one.
-
As in, compared to comparing something to "the pants", this comparison is "the bee's knees".
-
They had their chance to make Bond relevant for the 21st century in Csino Royale and they failed. Bond works best has an anti hero, and the movies dont deal with that. Meh. Bring on another Bourne movie please.
-
Flick was ace. Incidentally it's the Dog's Knees or the Bee's Bollocks. Get it right.

Bond enters a high stakes Connect Four game.

So this is all y'all got? Just a bunch of random, knee-jerk fanboy rantings? Safely anonymous hatings on a project, any project, just cause? This gets you off, does it? I'm so thrilled to be a part of such an important internet fan-based chat site where we can exchange bon mots about our favorite projects. You know... I'm all for the random dissenting opinion, but this hating for hating's sake is retarded. Keep talking your shit... you know as well as we that you'll be there opening day. In the mean time, keep your sad little 4-inch chubbies in check, cause you know this shit talk gets you off when you tell all your other "cooler-than-thou" buddies all about how you "totally slagged the new Bond movie on a fan-based website." Sigh. I'd recommend a hobby, but it sounds as if your local chapter of Magic the Gathering is sick of your shit already. The Bond franchise has been totally re-invigorated, re-imagined, given a whole new supply of plasma to the bloodstream, and kicks major ass upon anything since Connery first lit a cigarette and said, bored, "Bond... James Bond." And if you don't understand why it does than I'm not going to waste the time to eludicate to your narrow-minded viewpoint. To those of you who are in support of this continuing project: I don't think any true thanks is in order from the likes of me... you reward yourselves by enjoying this effort. And Trick_Ster... go back to school and actually stay awake during your 4th grade grammar class.

And naturally you'd prefer a ridiculously simplistic title like Casino Royale 2..? The title is excellent but you're not quite cultured enough to recognize that. In terms of the short story it is based on and the theme of the movie having Bond hell bent on systematically destroying the organization that killed his love; "Quantum of Solace" is perfect. It's because of the likes of you who simply can't understand the English Language beyond Phat, Dope, Bitches and Ho's, that they consider most Americans to be too stupid to understand titles of movies they've had to market under simplified new name like: Harry Potter and the "Sorcerers" Stone instead of "Philosophers" (yes they reckoned not enough of you Yanks understand what that means! Or License "To Kill" instead of License "Revoked" which was the original Bond film title and got changed to the complete opposite just because they didn't think anyone in the US knew what "Revoked" ment! Thus so many US films have unimaginative, basic titles with a number stuffed at the end just to make counting the series easy for them like being in kindergarten. Hopefully this excellent title will not go through that route and remain as it is despite the simpletons and halfwits of the world with popcorn for brains.

Oh and "Pants" is northern English slang for something that's not very good i.e Crap or Rubbish!
-
James Bond goes Commando.
-
instantly boinkable
-
Classy and sophisticated. What do you want? Tomorrow Never Dies? Die Another Day? Jeez.
-
Brilliant posts. Seriously.
-
Adding to the "Pants" discussion, and therefore throwing this Bond talkback off on even more of a tangent, as well as the North of England I think it's been a term for something that's not very good all over the UK (certainly here in Wales) since I was a kid, so at least 15 years. So "Daniel Craig's Face is Pants!" is an insult, not a compliment.
-
In British English pants only ever means 'underpants'. In recent years it's often been used as a term of mild abuse, eg 'National Treasure: Book of Secrets is pants'. Clearly, Daniel Craig's face isn't pants. Tom Cruise's acting is.
-
along with Iron Man, Dark Knight, Wall-E, Pineapple Express and Tropic Thunder. Oh, for a Delorean!
-
Yet another reason why I'd rather put in a DVD than watch a TV drama. Alias would show "Cairo", then a stock-footage establishing shot, then suddenly you're in a temporarily de-touristed EPCOT showcase. Or when X-Files showed what was ostensibly a forest in the FL panhandle, and we had a curious number of evergreen trees everywhere that screamed ACTUALLY VANCOUVER. Shoot on site! Money is no object to me!
-
I'm hoping that the new Bond is 2 for 2. And that was pretty fucking cool how low that plane flew to the ground. <p>Oh, and count me in the "Gemma boinkable club".
-
can't wait
-
I thought that was one of the film's more moving moments, myself. Bond showing a vulerable side he hasn't displayed since OHMSS. But I guess real Bond fans just want him delivering smirking "I have to keep the old t TIP up...you know, I have the THRUST of things..." innuendoes.

God Craig's run needs to be over, wanna know who will follow
by donwillymo
-
We haven't seen James Bond since 2002's Die Another Day. I wonder when 007 will return, if ever. No more over-the-top plots involving megalomaniacs bent on world domination, no more outrageous gadgets, no Q, no Moneypenny...I miss you, Mr. Bond. Please come back soon!
-
he thinks his choice of locations are just as important as the work of the movie's actors.

wowzers

...and you 'my friend' are too stupid and lacking in basic grammar skills to finish with the other end of your parenthesis. Maybe movie companies and publishing houses need to rethink the titles of movies and books for you Limeys who like to use run-on sentences and who can't fathom how to use a pair of brackets, especially round brackets, ( and ), used to enclose parenthetical material in a text.
-
I thought that was just a utter shit movie. Don't worry Sithdan, you have plenty of your over-the-top Bond movies to watch over and over again. Hey, I enjoyed most of those movies too, but I really like Casino Royale and am very hopeful this one will follow in the same vain.
-
Seriously, Casino Royale was like the perfect movie. I'm sure this won't disappoint. And so what if Forster looks/sounds gay? If there were no gay (or effeminate) guys in hollywood, kiss goodbye to many, many of the movies you've loved. My PCR reaction is done, I need to stop typing. New Bond rules, talkbackers suck.
-
I hope its in the trailer!

If ya'll refuse to cover this, at least explain how this is not cool news. </p> Here is John Carter news from ERBzine. </p> [Pixar Plans for John Carter of Mars Jim Hill Media ~ March 17, 2008 Pixar Animation Studios may be preparing its first live-action movie: Edgar Rice Burroughs' John Carter of Mars and Wall-E director Andrew Stanton may direct, sources are claiming. Disney/Pixar grabbed up a raft of domain names last Friday, including johncarterandthegodsofmars.com , johncarterandthewarlordofmars. com, godsofmarsmovie.com and warlordofmars-movie.com. Last August, Disney registered johncarterofmars-movie.com and some variants, plus childrenofmars.com in November. "Insiders" claim Ratatouille screenwriter Mark Andrews has completed his first draft of a John Carter script. And both Disney and Pixar insiders are excited by the draft, and eager to put it into production. The movie could come out as soon as 2011 or 2012. Part of the urgency for a John Carter franchise comes from the fact that Disney is losing enthusiasm for the Narnia movies.

Yeah, and I guess that "No Country for Old Men" was one of those stupid 'Yank' movies that you hated because it was just so amateurish and moronic. The simpletons and halfwits of the world with popcorn for brains have spoken and here's what they say: REVOKE: (Revoked) as in, Great Britain's status as a world power has been REVOKED. Now, they must resort to squabbling over a few rocky islands half a world away just to ensure themselves that 'the sun never sets on the British Empire,' and following an American preisdent around the world like a little lost puppy. Gosh Ceejay, for a country full of idiots who can't seem to fathom any films unless they have numbers at the end, your nation sure does emulate us! The sad thing is, I actually started to agree with what you were talking about until you started to flame my nation of origin. Who the fuck cares, really? Stay over there in your little cesspool of an island, with your bad teeth and your high taxes. Enjoy your self-described high-brow nature and continue to write long and completely uninteresting titles for books and movies. I'm glad that I was born where I was born. Are you?

Us queers have been producing Bond for years what's the problem?
by Smashing
If you want Bond made by straight people go rent XXX and then come and tell me you don't want us making your movies better. We could be doing the Oz sequels you know instead of wasting our time with a one trick character.
-
Might be a good time for a trip to jolly old England! I loved Casino Royale and this looks like it's in good hands so far, so, fingers crossed! (and the title's growing on me, more and more!)
-
The British girl is excellently hot, and in a young Moneypenny sort of way.
-
where do I sign up? This movie looks great. Casino Royale was the best Bond film ever, and I can't wait for this one.
-
Or is she standing on the curb?
-
First!
-
Wow, some of you are very sensitive about this. To be honest i thought that CeejayNightwing wasn't implying that Americans are dumb, but that Hollywood studios assume that Americans are dumb. He's saying that the Studios underestimate their countrymen incredibly with these patronizing dumbed-down name changes. I agree with him - you should be pissed at the studios, rather than someone for pointing this out! And it ain't just you guys that are getting the 'nanny-treatment' - i was annoyed at 'Live Free Or Die Hard' being released here as Die Hard 4.0, as though the studio thinks we Brits are too dumb to work out that LFODH is a Die Hard movie. As it turned out DH4 was pretty dumb, so i guess the Brit title was a better fit after all.
-
The film industry believes most people ARE dumb, and the ones who arent dumb are ripping them off by downloading movies. Another example is Harry Potter & the Philosophers Stone (book & movie) being renamed 'Sorcerer' because we Americans have no fucking idea what a Philosopher is. s'My take.

I like to see motorcycles explode. AWESOME!!!

Gemma is not taller than Craig....she's standing on a curb..
by Forestal
I'm pretty sure he's a few inches taller at least.
-
They've got an incredible crew - the best of the best bond film guys are working on this, plus some great locations - and airplanes. I look forward to seeing an old-fashioned dogfight with a DC-3. And to you naysayers, you're so pants.
-
We haven't seen James Bond since 2002's Die Another Day. ARE YOU SERIOUS ? WE HAVEN'T SEEN HIM SINCE OHMSS AND NOW HE IS BACK !
-
Something lackluster about the females in this. They seem very pedestrian as actresses. I know, there isn't much to see her other than a line or reaction or two ... but they seem very Carey Lowell/Talisa Soto'esque. A bit of step down from Eva Green's on screen presence.
-
Yes, I AM serious. I LOVED Die Another Day. I saw it four times in the theaters. I've only seen Casino Royale once...As I sauntered out of the theater, I was trying to digest what I had seen. It was another damn Jason Bourne flick. Too realistic. James Bond is NOT supposed to realistic. We need villains like Blofeld attempting to take over the world, wacky gadgets and TONS of special effects. BTW, I enjoyed OHMSS, too.
-
Typical Bourne Movie scene - Hello, it's Bourne. I'm in the next room!
-
When I asked yesterday what the slang "pants" meant in that context, I asked only because I was unfamiliar with the colloquialism, not that I don't understand English, or at least American English. Of course, I wouldn't expect all English-speaking peoples to understand every bit of slang used in this area of the country and I certainly wouldn't accuse any of you of being ignorant for not knowing. So therefore, sheesh and suck haole-boy!
-
damn my luck!
-
Can be seen in a short-skirted school uniform in the recent pale remake of the classic St. Trinian's film. Haven't seen the film, but it did prompt me to buy the originals on DVD, but I expect she'll be wearing stockings too.
-
Fuck Duke.<p>snappy, we can only hope she appears in another short-skirted school uniform in this one. I don't care how, just work it into the script.
-
Casino Royale had an awesome cast compared to this.
-
OHMSS was released in what, '68? And it took them almost 40 YEARS to make another great Bond film. And I thought the 25 year gulf between Empire and Sith was bad...
-
I just wonder how many times Bond had to whack it to a copy of Hitman before he could go on set without pitching a tent in his suit pants?
-
you tards...they reinvented Bond perfectly with Craig grow the fuck up
-
Casino Royale isn't fit to lick the shit from OHMSS/FRWL's shoes, they are classics. Casino Royale is a convolutaed schizoid trying to be everything to all movie fans and ending up a clusterfuck. I agree with Bond movies not being realistic, Casino Royale was the pits, Bond movies are supposed to be FUN, you want realism go watch a documentary on the CIA/MI6 and enjoy that. they're fucking FANTASY the way Fleming intended them, chug liquor, smoke like a chimney, fuck women, and beat the shit ouf of crazy assholes while trading witty remarks with one another, not some guy with an imploding face and sucking on lemons in post-modernistic slick-hollywoodized bourne/bauer-flavored twaddle screeching out "I DONT GIVE A DAMN" (the teen crowd got a kick out of that i'm sure) and peeling-back-the-layers nauseum like "my armor is all gone you've stripped it from me" "whatever i am, i'm yours", did George Lucas help write these?
-
Man, you said it perfectly.
-
i want daniel craig in mine. that's right, you heard me.
-
Is there some sort of mod who can tidy up when people start insulting/making generalisations about entire countries? I hate that crap. Regarding Quantum Of Solace, I bow to no man in my complete nerd appreciation for all things James Bond...but Eon are so far up their own arse now it's almost vomit inducing. You'd think casino Royale was Chinatown or something. The fun of Bond has been lost.
