Quantum Of Solace

[plasmid303]

That trailer rocked! Can't wait for November! Maybe then we'll get a Craig Bond figure! But probably not! Who knows! EXCLAMATION POINT!

1.85:1 aspect ratio? Say it ain't so!

Yay, no black bars on my widescreen TV.




KIDDING!

1.85:1 aspect ratio? Say it ain't so!

I've seen trailers that are cropped to 1.85:1 even though the actual film is in 2.35:1, so I wouldn't worry yet.

Yeah, that's actually a pretty common practice. No chance this movie will be 1.85:1 on the DVD/Blu-Ray so I wouldn't worry about that a bit.

 

[Agent0028]

It looks incredibly awesome. Although I have to admit the whole going rogue thing takes away some of my excitement, it's just been done so much already.

 

[Darth Caedus]

NICE! Can't wait for this film. Bond is finally exciting and compelling again. I'm hooked.

HELL YEA !!!!!

Looks just like the first one, can't wait for it

 

[The Mike]

My God, this so far is living up to the hype created after Casino Royale. I love that it picks up right after and Craig by far is THE BEST BOND EVER! I can't wait. I have Andy's Craig sculpt on my desk waiting to be sent off to either Les or Josh. I love this franchise!!!

 

[Giant Chicken]

Going to be great...

I hope so--If I remember correctly, we've only had two Bond films (after Goldfinger) that weren't 2.35:1, and they were back in the early 70's when Roger Moore took over the part. No need to drop more than thirty years of tradition and lose the more cinematic aspect ratio I've gotten used to seeing when it comes time for a new Bond film. (At any rate, how much of a freak am I that I come away from the awesome trailer worried about the aspect ratio?)

 

[DinoLast]

Bond going rogue? Didn't that happen already in licence to kill?

 

[CelticPredator]

No, because License to Kill doesnt exist in this Bond series.

 

[JGouse0498]

Yeah, think of Casino Royale as a reboot that took the character back to the beginning in a new cinematic Bond universe. So the events of License to Kill never occurred--especially since the reason Bond went rogue then was to avenge his long-time friend Felix Leiter being fed to sharks. In this universe, Bond and Leiter have only just met.

But for the audience, the rogue theme was the crux of License to Kill. To a lesser extent, the "rogue" element was also factored into parts of Die Another Day and Casino Royale. Of the two, DAD had it more because Bond escaped confinement because MI6 thought he'd been compromised and spilled his guts about government secrets.

 

[Darth Waller]

I don't know how accurate IMDB is, but they list it at 2.35:1.

 

[Agent0028]

Having thought about it, I can see how him going rogue does kinda make sense with this version of Bond given that he disregards authority as evidenced by breaking in to M's apartment and hacking in to her computer. On the other hand it seems ridiculous to me that he can't even properly tail someone without being caught but is now going to go off on his own.

You know, people may bag on Dalton, but his Bond Movies were action packed awesomeness

You hit the nail right on the head. Dalton might not have done many Bond films but his portrayal was very true to the literary Bond. Loved the opening sequence to The Living Daylights.

I'll take License to Kill over Diamonds Are Forever or Die Another Day any time.

 

[DarkArtist81]

I'll take License to Kill over Diamonds Are Forever or Die Another Day any time.

Ditto. The Dalton Bond films have grown on me over the years... They really are pretty damn good.

 

[Agent0028]

I think the Dalton Bonds are among the best realistic ones.
