This is looking magnificent. I saw the last Bond film a day after its world première, in Los Angeles, and put some more money to the Broccoli family’s coffers by seeing it a second time when it débuted in New Zealand—then bought the DVD. So no surprise when I say I am looking forward to the Marc Forster-directed Quantum of Solace. It even has an Ian Fleming title, even if it has zero connection to the original short story and the W. Somerset Maugham-style dinner party setting. Now watch for the extra footage, the Eon Productions’ machine’s hype and the gradual build-up to get the next Bond movie into our consciousness.
