Quantum of Solace Trailer Unveiled

Posted Jul 3rd 2008 8:01AM by Jared Paul Stern

You've read about the Aston Martin mishaps and the Tom Ford tailoring; now Sony has released the trailer for Quantum of Solace, the new James Bond flick premiering this fall. Daniel Craig stylishly reprises his role as 007 in what looks to be an action-packed installment of the classic series, with Olga Kurylenko and Gemma Arterton doing the Bond Girl honors.

In the flick based on a 1959 Ian Fleming short story, Bond sets out to seek revenge for the death of Vesper Lynd (Eva Green) from Casino Royale. Craig has said filming Quantum was much more physically demanding that Casino, and he has suffered some injuries along the way. See the trailer here and check out the gallery for production pix.

Bond's Aston Martin Takes An Unplanned Plunge

Cars in James Bond movies often suffer a rough fate, facing spectacular crashes and extraordinary leaps but one of Bond's beloved Aston Martin's took a dunk this week before it even reached the movie set. An Aston Martin DBS was being driven to the set of Quantum Of Solace, the latest James Bond movie in Italy when the technician driving it went off the road and plunged into Lake Garda. The £134,000 Aston Martin's roof was smashed in but the driver luckily had only minor injuries. The car was to be used in a scene in which Daniel Craig speeds away from a crash scene and a truck ends up in the water. The Daily Mail has a few grisly snaps of the destroyed vehicle.

Who Are You Wearing, James Bond?

James Bond is famous for a few things, elegant cocktails, beautiful women, danger, and always being a sharp-dressed man. The honor of being the tailor that puts James Bond in his suits has gone to the Italian house of Brioni since Pierce Brosnan suited up for Goldeneye in 1995. But the London TImes reports that Brioni will no longer be dressing Mr. Bond. Instead he will be dressed by the one and only Tom Ford. Ford hasn't commented on this yet and no details have leaked out. I wonder what the more traditional James Bond fans will think when they get curious about Tom Ford and visit his website. Tom makes some pretty elegant suits but his flashy sexually suggestive persona seems a bit too metro for James Bond.

James Bond's New Ride

Gizmag reports that for the next James Bond, the new Bond, Daniel Craig will be driving an Aston Martin. In the classic movies such as "Thunderball" and "Goldfinger" Bond used to drive an Aston Martin DB5 which was tricked out with all sorts of goodies like a tire slasher and pop-up guns. Since then, Bond has driven all sorts of cars including the Lotus Esprit and the BMW Z3. The last Bond film "Die Another Day" used an Aston Martin V12 Vanquish but for the next film, "Casino Royale" a new top secret car known as the Aston Martin DBS is being developed. It might just be the one reason to go see the new Bond movie.
