Quantum of Solace

I'm a little bit too excited about the new Bond film. For starters, it's strikes out 30 minutes after the end of Casino Royal: Vesper is dead and James has just announced himself as "Bond...James Bond." Now I have a massive girl-crush on Eva Green, so I get that Bond is out for blood., and it's a brilliant way to continue Daniel Craig's reign as 007.

Next, we have Marc Foster (of Finding Neverland and Monster's Ball fame) at the helm. He's a savvy director, and I reckon he'll do great things with B22. Then Mathieu Amalric has signed up to bat more than his eyelids as the (very topically) rogue environmentalist Bond baddie, Dominic Greene.

And finally, of course, there are the cars. The V12 Aston Martin DBS has already taken a drink in an Italian lake during filming, but I'm not sure that will have stopped the stuntmen including at least one crazy-dangerous car chase.

The Australian release date is set for 27 November....until then, may we find solace in the trailer.
