SPRI president Mark Zucker
kicked off the festivities by telling the audience that
Sony had one of their best slates ever. Exhibitors were
asked to turn in all cell phones, BlackBerry's and cameras
before the main event.
Producers Michael
G. Wilson and Barbara
Broccoli were joined by the new Bond girl Olga
Kurylenko in presenting 10 minutes of footage from
the film to a packed audience. Kurylenko, who plays Camille,
said that shooting was ""the most incredible
experience of my life". Wilson described Daniel
Craig's second adventure as 007 as "faster, more
intense and filled with more fight scenes".
As composer David
Arnold has only recently
started work on the score, the footage was accompanied
by a temporary soundtrack, but the audience was reportedly
thrilled with "Quantum of Solace" scenes from
London, Italy and Bolivia (actually shot in Panama and
Chile).
Production on the film wrapped in Pinewood
Studios in the UK last week. Director Marc
Forster and his editing and effects teams are now hard
at work in post production. The 22nd James Bond film opens
on 31st October 2008 and the first week of November in North
America and Europe. Click
