New trailer for QUANTUM OF SOLACE

Add comment September 10th, 2008

Here’s a link to a new trailer for the upcoming James Bond movie, due to hit theaters Nov. 14.

It’s the usual mix of snippets of plot development, glimpses of high tech equipment and tantalizing shots of over-the-top stunts. (The one where Bond and some badguy fall through a roof, then keep falling, is the most impressive.) Good to see Dame Judi Dench returning as M and Jeffrey Wright coming back as CIA agent Felix Leiter, and of course it’s a pleasure to have Daniel Craig starring as 007 once again. He brings a real intensity to the role, making the spy game seem like something genuinely dangerous and even a little spooky at times.

Remember when he played Paul Newman’s disappointing son in the 2002 film ROAD TO PERDITION, someone who seemed no match for Tom Hanks’ gangster character? Here’s the movie trailer to remind you. Craig shows up around the 47 second mark.

Times have changed, eh?
