JAMES BOND - Quantum of Solace Trailer !

Gotta get this one out. Courtesy of Moviefone. The official teaser trailer for the next James bond film, Quantum of Solace. Quantum of Solace is a James Bond short story by Ian Fleming and a part of the For Your Eyes Only collection.

BAD MOFO

What does this title mean anyway ? Let’s see:

Quantum:

–adjective 6. sudden and significant: a quantum increase in productivity.

Solace:

4. to alleviate or relieve (sorrow, distress, etc.).

So we know James is not a happy man after losing Vespa in Casino Royale, so I’m thinking this is a story about revenge. Slashfilm points to a USA Today article (I’ll paraphrase):

Quantum of Solace picks up where Casino Royale ended, with Bond working his way up the chain of command of the terrorists who blackmailed his lover, Vesper Lynd. Quantum of Solace comes from a short story by 007 author Ian Fleming, and it’s not a spy story but a tale told to Bond about another couple’s tragic romance. The short story has nothing else to do with the movie…

Here is some glorious High Def Footy:

STEVEN SPIELBERG - ‘39 Clues’

I’ve been seeing this around the web recently via Variety, NY Times and several blogs and thought I’d shout it out on my side of the blogosphere. Any Spielberg news is worthy of a quick post.

DreamWorks secured rights to “The 39 Clues,” an adventure series being launched in the fall by Scholastic Media. Steven Spielberg is eyeing the project as a directing vehicle. Scholastic Media is the the U.S. publisher of the Harry Potter series. “The’ 39 Clues” series will feature 10 books with related Web-based games, collectors’ cards and cash prizes.

Rob Zombie

I absolutely love Rob Zombie. House of 1000 Corpses and The Devil’s Rejects were some of the cooler films to come out in recent memory and completely inspire me. This dude is a true Auteur even if he did fall flat with the Halloween remake, but when touching Carpenter’s masterpiece, what could we expect ?

This is the ONE SHEET TEASER for his next film, currently in production and slated for a 2009 release. I haven’t a clue to what it’s about, but it looks killer.

UPDATE JUNE 26TH

JACK DANIEL STANLEY notified me of the Bloody Disgusting News item on this story:

Found this - that it’s possibly based on a comic book Zombie did with some other guy, the book was called “the Nail” and is about a wrestler trying to save his family from some kind of baddies.


Hunted in one of the most desolate regions of America, preyed upon by an evil that does not sleep, Rex Hauser is The Nail - and it’s time he took a stand. A semi-pro wrestler, Hauser has been touring the country performing at small-time arenas until the fateful night he and his family run afoul of a bloodthirsty gang of Satanic bikers stalking the North Dakota Badlands. Now he’s a lone man fighting for the survival of his loved ones in a no-holds-barred standoff against the forces of Hell itself! Co-written by the newly formed CREEP International writing team of modern horror masters Rob Zombie and Steve Niles, The Nail is a relentless, unflinching portrait of the heart of darkness, and what one man will sacrifice to hold it at bay.”
