I wonder which story they'll remake this time.

Other Fleming short story titles now being rumored to be the basis for future Bond films include "The Property of a Lady" (previously filmed as part of "Octopussy"), and "Quantum of Solace".

And that it's also continuing off of Casino Royale, where Bond seeks revenge for the death of Vesper.

Cool BBC Article talking about the film and the symbolism of the title.

Producer Barbara Broccoli said the film, directed by Marc Forster ("Monster's Ball," "The Kite Runner"), mixes Bond's "inner turmoil" with action — and of course gadgets — as he tries to stop a shadowy cabal trying to bring down the world economy.

Craig's second Bond adventure continues in the gritty vein of "Casino Royale," in which a rough-edged 007, newly granted his "license to kill," bled, sweat and felt real emotion. But Wilson promised it also has "twice as much action" as its predecessor.

I'm kinda worried about the plot because didn't they try doing that in Goldeneye and one other one as well?

To be fair, just how many plausible "villain taking over/destroying the world" scenarios can one series manage? I think at this point in the Bond franchise, it's all about how the villains will go about trying to bring down the world's economy.

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.

To be fair, just how many plausible "villain taking over/destroying the world" scenarios can one series manage? I think at this point in the Bond franchise, it's all about how the villains will go about trying to bring down the world's economy.

I do not care about one bit of anything relating to the film. The only thing I care about is this hot little honey pictured at the beginning of the thread. Good Fucking God. What a piece of ass!

Well, it is a reboot, so I don't mind a little retrograde. I thought Casino Royale did a wonderful job of having the villain engaged in a fairly grounded "evil plan." LeChiffre was not omnipotent nor did he have a superweapon poised to destroy everything.

MI6 has long reported that two of James Bond's long standing allies at MI6 - Miss Moneypenny and Q - would not feature in the 22nd film in the series. As you know, both characters were absent from Casino Royale.

Official confirmation came via the press conference.

Producer Michael G. Wilson stated that in order for the two characters to have appeared in the new film, moments would have to be carved out for them which would not have felt "organic."

Wilson left the door open for the characters, saying that they may come back in the future, but only if the story demands it.

Amy Winehouse and producer Mark Ronson, the team behind Winehouse’s breakout album Back To Black, are reuniting—but instead of a new album, the duo will be working on the theme song for the new James Bond film, Quantum Of Solace.

Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli, producers of the highly anticipated 22nd James Bond adventure "Quantum of Solace," announced today that multi-Grammy Award-winning and platinum selling recording artists Jack White of the rock band The White Stripes, and Alicia Keys, have recorded the theme song for the film, which will be released worldwide this November.

Their song, written and produced by Jack White, and titled "Another Way to Die," will be the first duet in Bond soundtrack history. In addition to writing the song, Jack White is also featured as the drummer on this track. The soundtrack to "Quantum of Solace" will be released by J Records on October 28, 2008.

Agreed. A definite improvement over the teaser.

I do have a few issues though. The whole Bond as rogue agent is somewhat tiresome. It's been done to death. I mean they just used it in Casino Royale.

"You knew I wouldn't let this go." - Bond

Well, I knew you'd be you." - 'M'

Now I absolutely loved Casino Royale, but oy vey!

And Dench's 'M' is starting to become grating. I don't know if she's been in too many of these or what. Whatever it is I think I've had my fill.
