13-Jun-2008 • Quantum Of Solace

The first theatrical trailer for the new James Bond film "Quantum of Solace" has passed the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) with a 12A rating in the UK.

Running for 1 minute 51 seconds, the trailer will be the first real look at how Daniel Craig's second outing as 007 is shaping up. The film is released in the UK on 31st October 2008, with many countries following the week after.

Columbia Pictures, who distribute the film, have named the submitted reel "TRAILER A", indicating that this is just the first teaser. In recent years, Bond films have used a teaser in the summer and a full length theatrical trailer in the fall closer to the time of release.

As previously reported by MI6, it is understood that Sony will be attaching the new 007 preview to their summer tent-pole release "Hancock", starring Will Smith.

Despite rumours of a release date slip, "Hancock" is still on schedule to debut on July 2nd for the holiday weekend in the USA.

Thanks to `Pierce - Daniel` for the alert.
