Watch this video. Everyone is saying it looks like sackboy of Little Big Planet meets Fallout. Fine by me as this trailer looks incredible. It’s certainly time Tim Burton takes advantage of CGI as the imagery is vastly superior to anything you could produce with clay, which is wearing thin at this point. (HD version)
Don’t miss the short film this is based on by Shane Acker!

The new title notwithstanding, things are looking promising. The title is from a short story in Ian Fleming’s anthology “For Your Eyes Only”. Thankfully the film should appear as gritty and real as Casino Royale (94% on Rotten Tomatoes) with the news that Dan Bradley was hired on as second unit director because of his work on the Jason Bourne films.
‘Quantum of Solace’ continues the high octane adventures of James Bond (Daniel Craig) in ‘Casino Royale.’ 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 organization 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 organization. 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 organization, 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 organization.
I’ll be first in line on opening day. Woo!
Shame on you Network Solutions! Pre-emptive censorship!?
Un-American asshats!
How can a site with no content violate your terms of use, yet you host all sorts of porn and hate speech (Al Queda, Hezbollah), etc. Cultural marxism is a scary thing.
 ”The problem, Glenn, and you and I talked about the political correctness tyranny in this country. There`s a great British social commentator Named Pat Cundeau (ph) who said the lie of political correctness is that we`re being told that what we should think is more important than what we do think. “
What a strange day for Warner Bros. First, rumors explode today that they’re giving the heave-ho to Spike Jonze’s Where the Wild Things Are, and now word arrives that they’ve greenlit two ambitious live-action films based on the landmark Japanese manga and anime Akira, with Leonardo DiCaprio‘s Appian Way producing. Mere rumor is he may star as the lead character, Kaneda, in the franchise, which will be set in New Manhattan, “a new metropolis rebuilt after being destroyed 31 years earlier.” The first film is being fast tracked for summer 2009.

I know, I know. Star Wars? Yeah, it was terrible. However this trailer looks really cool, in the way that The Matrix and Point break were movies which provided a suitable vehicle for Keanu Reeves the main actor to perhaps, begin to shine. Plus it has Samuel Jackson.
You just got ruined by looking at this page! Looks like office cube size lice will be running rampant all over this thing, ick. I do like the idea of a… killer whale though.
best..laugh…ever…
Bad-ass, the trailer is here. It’s in high def quality with some sweet chest spiking, face melting, laser blasting, human skinning, marine firefight, and Predator nuke action. Can’t wait until Christmas.
