Daniel Craig was fuck awesome as Bond, and it most definitely shot better, but the pacing and overall intensity just did not match up to Bourne’s. But I’m pretty sure they weren’t quite going for the same thing.

Quantum of Solace, on the other hand, looks to be pretty damn balls-out, and heavily influenced by the Bourne films. The plot (at least in the original teaser) appeared to be ripped straight from the Bourne series, and the action choreographer is from the Bourne films. If you can’t beat ‘em, hire ‘em.

Alright, here’s the trailer:

And the one sheet for the next Bond film is great. So here it is.

By the way, the name of this direct sequel to Casino Royale (if you couldn’t tell by the pose), is Quantum of Solace.
