IT'S HERE

Rejoice 007 fans and moviegoers, as from today you can get your first good look at Quantum of Solace, the highly anticipated 22nd James Bond adventure, with the superb first teaser trailer.

Running for 1 minute 30 seconds and available in 13 languages, the trailer picks up from the end of Casino Royale with Mr White’s interrogation and also includes key action scenes including an snippet of the Aston Martin DBS car chase from the pre-titles sequence, a boat chase filmed in Panama, and a fight in an Italian art gallery.

Unofficially, the trailer was available on Youtube until earlier today. But now, for some inexplicable reason, the trailer is now only officially available online for two hours from 5pm BST (12 noon EST, 9am PST) until 7pm BST (2pm EST, 11am PST) via the following sites:

• View Online (MSN.com) – UK
• View Online (AOL.com) – USA

Don’t ask why. It makes no sense, really. If you fancy downloading a higher resolution version of the Quantum of Solace teaser trailer to your computer (and what Bond geek wouldn’t?), then there’s a nice compendium of different video qualities here thanks to themoviebox.net.

If you’d rather experience the Quantum of Solace teaser trailer in the cinema, the trailer will be attached to prints of Hancock, which is due to be released on July 2nd. But let’s face it, you’d only go to watch Hancock for the Bond trailer, wouldn’t you?

MK12 Slated For 'Quantum of Solace' Main Titles

Design company MK12 has been signed up to handle the main title sequence for the 22nd James Bond adventure, Quantum of Solace, according to recent reports.

The Kansas City design group, represented by The Ebeling Group, previously designed the intricate title sequences for Marc Forster’s two most recent films, 2007’s The Kite Runner and 2006’s Stranger Than Fiction.

Following up these two successful working collaborations, the Quantum of Solace director invited the group to come on board for the latest Bond film.

What is unclear at this point is the level of involvement series regular Daniel Kleinman will have with the title sequence. It may be that MK12 will be acting as the digital intermediate on the sequence (like company Framestore CFC was for 2006’s Casino Royale) and that Kleinman will still be handling the design of the titles.

Kleinman first became associated with the 007 series through his work on the Gladys Knight music video for 1989’s Licence to Kill. He then took over from Maurice Binder as main title designer and has contributed to all four of the Pierce Brosnan Bond films as well as Craig’s debut in Casino Royale.

Visit the official MK12 website for a closer look at the design company and their work.

Marc Forster: A Different Style For James Bond

Director Marc Forster

Quantum of Solace director Marc Forster has just given a new interview to MSN Movies UK, where he discusses editing, action sequences, on-set accidents, the upcoming teaser trailer and a new style for the 22nd James Bond adventure.

‘We wrapped the film around a week ago and now I’m in post-production and have started the editing process,’ Forster said. ‘We have four weeks to cut the film, then we have a preview, and then two more weeks and then we lock pictures. It’s a very tight schedule’.

As previously stated, Forster is aiming for a leaner 007 film by having Quantum of Solace run at ‘just under two hours’. In the past, Tomorrow Never Dies was the first Bond film since the 1960’s to have a run time under the two-hour mark. On the flip side, Daniel Craig’s debut in
