Bond film number 22 or as everyone knows by now the Quantum of Solace is due to be released starting in the UK on October 31st with a US date of November 7th. This next installment has been building a lot of buzz since the success of Casino Royale went world wide.
It picked up a big name director when in Marc Forster who is not know for these type of espionage spy action thrillers. Although he does have some big name credits to his name like the 2001 Oscar winner Monsters Ball and in 2004 Finding Neverland both of which were critically acclaimed.
Of course Daniel Craig has returned for a second go around as James Bond and has stated that Casino Royale was a walk in the park in terms of physical stunts and demands in comparison to Quantum of Solace which has stepped up the WoW factor in stunts big time.
The story has been verified to pick up a mere hour from where Casino Royale left off. With James Bond uncovering a secret organization that is posing as global environmentalist that have spies with in MI6 and the CIA. Bond will be traveling to world locations in Haiti, Austria and South America as well as the UK of course.
I am really enjoying the story line of this James Bond and seeing him develop in Casino Royale and continuing the character development right into the second movie. The idea of Quantum of Solace picking up right after the first movie is brilliant and has not been done in the Bond series before. There have been some carry over characters before but rolling the second movie’s story line to pick up an hour after the first is very exciting. Daniel Craig has really brought back the hard edge to James Bond that has not really been seen since the Sean Connery days.
Daniel Craig looks to have a busy three months of movie promoting as he has two big movies due for release in back to back months. Quantum of Solace starts opening on October 31st then on December 12th his WWII movie called Defiance both of which look fantastic! Check out the movie trailers for both below.

Ye, I didn’t think Craig could do it. But I find him to be more true to the Bond in the books. I am looking forward to the next installment.

I agree Gary. Daniel Craig has really brought James Bond back to the original writings and I love that the new movie is picking up right where Casino Royal left off. They also just pushed the movie release date back a week to take advantage of Harry Potter moving to the summer.
