"I think you're so blinded by inconsolable rage that you don't care who you hurt. When you can't tell your friends from your enemies, it's time to go." — M (Judi Dench)
The James Bond in this latest installment seems darker, wearier, and more grizzled than we've seen him. The brand-new trailer for Quantum of Solace, the next Bond movie due to hit theaters November 7, is totally intriguing. It's slow to rev up, with allusions to how rage-filled Bond is now, and only uses the signature horn-blasting 007 theme music toward the very end. There's something somber and very dark about the atmosphere of this movie, and while watching it I can't help but think of all the trouble this production has had.
I am insanely anxious to see the full movie and it's strangely relieving to see Daniel Craig's Bond back in action. I've missed him! Are you as psyched as I am for Quantum of Solace? To check out the trailer, read more.

I love that they're getting back to the original direction of the Bond series by getting "personal" with his character. They're getting deeper and more intimate than they ever have before lately and forgoing much of the flashy special effects. I hope this doesn't deter other current fans of the series, because the way I see it, you can get the crazy special effects on pretty much any Hollywood film these days. I welcome the chance to develop even more of a "bond" with the 007 series this way.
