| Sony has provided us with the first pictures of several members of the cast of the new Bond film Quantum of Solace (we're actually starting to like that now) in character. You can click the pics below for a closer look.
Bond (Daniel Craig) looks as he always does, suave and a bit narked.
Judi Dench's M looks businesslike.
Gemma Arterton's Agent Fields has the rather pure, buttoned up look that Rosamund Pike had in Die Another Day, and we all know what happened to her. So maybe we can expect prim facade (or at least the wig-looking 'do) to fall away and reveal something darker. We already know she has love scenes with Bond. Olga Kuryenko, as Camille, looks rather pouty and very young. Perhaps her already-announced revenge mission is because someone stole her lollipop.
Mathieu Amalric, as the villain Dominic Greene, is clearly your more refined Bond villain. No futuristic Blofeld style get ups for him. He could almost be Bond with madder eyes. Giancarlo Giannini, as the ambiguous Rene Mathis, looks perturbed - possibly he's worried that Bond still suspects him of treachery after the events of the first film. Jeffrey Wright, as Felix Leiter, looks debonair but unsettled. Perhaps he too is alarmed at the way the stakes ramped up towards the end of the last film.
Sure, these aren't the most action-packed shots, but it's early days. What do you want, blood? Actually, you probably do want blood.
We also now have the full official synopsis, which is as follows:
"QUANTUM OF SOLACE continues the high octane adventures of James Bond (DANIEL CRAIG) in CASINO ROYALE.
Betrayed by Vesper, the woman he loved, 007 fights the urge to make his latest mission personal. Pursuing his determination to uncover the truth, Bond and M (JUDI DENCH) interrogate Mr White (JESPER CHRISTENSEN) who reveals the organisation which blackmailed Vesper is far more complex and dangerous than anyone had imagined.
Forensic intelligence links an Mi6 traitor to a bank account in Haiti where a case of mistaken identity introduces Bond to the beautiful but feisty Camille (OLGA KURYLENKO), a woman who has her own vendetta. Camille leads Bond straight to Dominic Greene (MATHIEU AMALRIC), a ruthless business man and major force within the mysterious organisation.
On a mission that leads him to Austria, Italy and South America, Bond discovers that Greene, conspiring to take total control of one of the world’s most important natural resources, is forging a deal with the exiled General Medrano (JOAQUIN COSIO). Using his associates in the organisation, and manipulating his powerful contacts within the CIA and the British government, Greene promises to overthrow the existing regime in a Latin American country, giving the General control of the country in exchange for a seemingly barren piece of land.
In a minefield of treachery, murder and deceit, Bond allies with old friends in a battle to uncover the truth. As he gets closer to finding the man responsible for the betrayal of Vesper, 007 must keep one step ahead of the CIA, the terrorists and even M, to unravel Greene’s sinister plan and stop his organisation."
