Quantum Of Solace Teaser Poster
Bond is coming...

Quantum Of Solace Teaser Poster
Moviefone has secured the first teaser poster for Quantum of Solace, the 22nd Bond movie.

It's a very simple image, but an effective one, being nothing more than a looming shadow of 007 with, what we believe is referred to as, a big fuck off gun. It says vengeance to us and that seems to be the theme of the movie, which follows Bond as he searches for answers about the death of lost love Vesper Lynd.

And what does that parched earth symbolise? Is it the hardened outer service of Bond, which has become blank and unyielding from heartbreak and killing? Is the stretched shadow representative of his growing dark side? Please have 10,000 words on 'My Wanky James Bond 22 Theories' on our desk by tomorrow. Class dismissed.

Nice, simple, effective...
I'm excited already. Oh, and not to nit-pick, but the "BFG" he's holding is actually a fairly light and compact submachine gun. For the more anally-inclined amongst us, it's a Heckler & Koch UMP9 fitted with a suppressor. G*d, I need to get out more... ... Read More

Moonraker Part Duex
Hummm that "parched earth" reminds me of of the lunar surface and with a title like Quantum Of Solace could it possibly be Moonraker 2????? I kid I kid, but seriously it does seem to symbolises a darker theme..Can't wait love the Bond films and Craig was excellent in CR. ... Read More

I think its fine. I really couldnt stand another Bond poster, with Bond pursing his lips, with his Walter PPK resting on his lapel. Its perfect for a teaser poster. Dont understand why it has attracted some negative attention to be honest ... Read More

I think the books are really overrated...the manner in which they're written is so cold and stilted. I think it's amazing what they did with CR, so I'm really looking forward to this one - seeing what they come up with. Sadly, no Eva G. Superb. Oh well. :( ... Read More

RE: Is it me...
The films and the books are two wildly different mediums. The film Bond has evolved into an entirely different beast and the lo-fi Bond approach doesn't really set him aside from the competitors. There should be a sense of fun, even the Dalton films had them, that needs to return to the next Bond film - which Craig has indicated is the case, without going the whole way and ending up like the later Brosnan films. Craig is possibly the best actor to play the role to date, with the exception ... Read More
