Quantum of Solace (Bond 22) - slight spoilers

[Ktrek]

Is it just me or does that guy in the poster not even look like Daniel Craig?

I was thinking the same thing to, looked older and not as fit as Daniel Craig. Maybe it is the angle, or the coloring of the poster, if it is Craig, not a good picture of him

Where did this poster come from.. I haven't found it on any of my normal entertainment sites.. might be a fake.

Here's some  more info.. including plot details.

Sony Pictures has also released the official plot summary for the November 7 release:

"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 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

Well, the plot sounds good!

As for the picture the guys over at ComanderBond.net message board say the poster is based on 'fan art" that has been floating around for some time. So....the poster is a fake as I suspected. I just couldn't believe Sony would put out an image that hardly looked like the actor.

The Text on the Poster is different from what is on the sign behind the actors, so I would say fan made as well.

It never occured to me that it might be fake.

So this "organization" that is repeatedly mentioned in the movie descriptions.....could it be we are seeing MI6 beginning to discover SMERSH or SPECTRE?   It would be AWESOME if that is where the stories head from here.   Although, come to think of it SMERSH may have been a communist thing related to the SOviet Union.  Anyone remember?

Definitely not the only one excited for Quantum of Solace.  Of course, thank God it isn't going to be out at the same time as Indy Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull!!  I need to see that film on its own, seriously!

Also, can't wait for the new Trek movie.  The teaser was partly why I am now back after a long, long, LONG time.

I'm now catching up, so if you see multiple "new posts" by me, that's why.

Craig Injured On "Solace" Set
By Garth FranklinWednesday, June 11th 2008 6:16am

Talk of a curse hovering over the upcoming 22nd James Bond film "Quantum of Solace" continued this week as actor Daniel Craig cut off the tip of one of his fingers during an action sequence.

According to a source for The Telegraph, the bleeding Craig was taken to hospital but returned in the afternoon to continue filming.

The injury is the third in a spate of recent mishaps on the set following a collision last week which left Craig with a gash on his face that required eight stitches. Last weekend, a fire broke out which severely damaged an outdoor set at Pinewood Studios.

This trio of mishaps comes on top of a trio of car accidents in April whilst filming around Lake Garda in Italy.

In good news for the production, the first teaser trailer has been finished and looks all set to debut with "Hancock" in three weeks.
