Sony Previews 'Quantum of Solace' Footage At Cinema Expo

10 minutes of action-packed footage from 22nd James Bond film shown

Tonight Sony showed about 10 minutes of QOS footage at CinemaExpo in Amsterdam. Introduced by M.G. Wilson and Olga Kurylenko, footage focussed on the globetrotting aspect of the film and showed bits from practically every location. Sienna sequence looked spectacular. Great Aston Martin mountain chase. A lot of running like in opening sequence of CR :-) Bits of scenes with both Bond girls, M, Leiter, Mathis, Mr. White... EXCELLENT, can't wait to see the complete film.
Afterwards spoke briefly to Wilson and Olga during the QOS themed dinner party and evening was made complete with a fantastic QoS-logoed box/case containing a cocktail set (in order to get that one had to attend Sony's Pineapple Express).

Cool! Any interesting dialogue you can remember?

Very nice to hear that JJ!

Just a request, to all posters on this thread: please, as this thread isn't in the spoiler section, but is potentially highly spoilerific, use the spoiler tag when you post sensitive information here.

I guess some of the highlights of these ten minutes will be in the teaser trailer. For some reason Sony decided not to show any trailers tonight, hence no premiere of the Bond teaser that I'd hoped for... Got confirmation that yes there will be a traditional Gunbarrel sequence for QOS.
As has been posted before this is a true sequel in the sense that it starts one hour after CR.

Sounds rather good.

Yippee!!! Sorry, I'm avoiding the spoiler threads.

Wow!

Nice work if you can get it, JJ!

Tchonge Jonge!

Sounds terrific! My lord, I want to see this teaser....

Great news! Thanks for sharing, J J!

Sony's international distribution president Mark Zucker began his presentation with the usual claim that the studio's upcoming releases represented one of its best slates ever. Expectations were whetted even more when exhibs were asked to cough up all cell phones and BlackBerrys before the first peek at Sony's "Quantum of Solace," the 22nd James Bond film.

Michael Wilson, the film's producer along with Barbara Broccoli, and latest Bond girl Olga Kurylenko were on hand to introduce 10 minutes of footage from the recently wrapped Daniel Craig starrer. With director Marc Forster ("The Kite Runner") now overseeing postproduction, the segment featured a temporary soundtrack, but the audience responded well to scenes from London, Italy and Bolivia. "Quantum" unspools in the U.K. in late October and the rest of the world the first weekend of November.

Not to be outdone, Sony Pictures Releasing Intl. treated Cinema Expo auds to extended exclusive footage from latest Bond pic "Quantum of Solace," which finished shooting Thursday.

High-octane 007 action sequences set in London, Haiti, Austria, Italy and Bolivia were introduced by producer Michael G. Wilson and Bond girl Olga Kurylenko.

Wilson cleared up some misunderstanding about the pic's unusual title, explaining it's the name of an Ian Fleming short story and means measure of comfort. He also quipped that it's what Craig needed after the rough and tumble of "Casino Royale."
