Movie and music fans alike love to know who will sing the new Bond theme, and there is always as much speculation about who the artist will be as there is about the film’s plot.

Quantum Of Solace was no different.

After reports that tabloid Queen Amy Whinehouse would be singing the tune, hopes were dashed due to the singer’s personal problems (I’d be in rehab too if the press were on my doorstep 24/7) and speculation again went into overdrive.

However, it has now been announced Jack White and Alicia Keys have recorded the theme song for the 22nd James Bond film and the title is… drum roll please…

Here’ the promised first trailer for James Bond 22, better known as Quantum of Solace, courtesy of MovieFone. It looks to continue the gritty, dark tone of the last Bond film.

This isn’t your dad’s James Bond boys and girls… but I like it.

Check it out below.

I’m actually counting down the days till the newest James Bond installment Quantum of Solace opens - that’d be November 7th here in the U.S.

Yes, Casino Royale and Daniel Craig’s Bond were really that great.

Along with cool new pictures, USA Today has some new information regarding said film.

The day I marry my beautiful wife and the birth of my wonderful children; these are two dates I’m looking forward to.

Yeah, right… of course, those are B.S. I’m about as single as single gets and childless beyond imagination.

No, the real dates I’m looking forward to are the theatrical releases of The Hobbit and Superman: The Man of Steel whenever Warner Brothers officially announces the dates (both coming in 2010) and Indiana Jones & the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (this coming Memorial Day weekend!)

An old saying says that a week is a long time in politics - well that dude obviously didn’t follow movie news, because a week in film can make or break a career, or in Vic’s case: a DVD player.

It’s once again time for us to fill you in on some of the news stories from the past week that we missed and make sure that you know everything about every film that is currently in production. That is a slight exaggeration, but you see what I’m getting at.

Just keep reading to heighten your Screen Rant experience.

Hey there guys and gals, welcome to my first Weekend Movie News Wrap Up.

This new column is to try and fill you in on various pieces of news that happened during the week that we may have missed.

We at Screen Rant are a dedicated bunch, but there are only so many hours in the day, and movie news comes in thick and fast - so to try and keep you up to speed, we will now be picking up some news stories from the past week that we missed and bring them to a computer near you!

In an interview with MTV, Bond 22 scribe Paul Haggis expressed confusion regarding the title of the movie based on his screenplay, Quantum of Solace.

He told them that he “had no idea” what the title meant, following up with “it’s not my title.” When asked what he thought of the title for the film he just said “no comment” and according to MTV, then sighed.

I’ve never liked the title and I still don’t, although that has no bearing on the quality of the movie, which I’m hoping will be excellent. I just find it odd and awkward. Yes, I know it’s based on an Ian Fleming short story, but based on the above comments by Haggis, I get the impression it has nothing to do with that story - so why use that oddball title?

The Internet is an amazing thing… It really is.

I mean, who would have thought 20 years ago that we’d be reading movie news and interacting with each other via a computer whilst in different countries? It was total science fiction, but look at us now - I’m in England, writing this story, and you are… well, you are wherever you are.

But as cool as the Internet is, it also has its problems. Don’t worry, this isn’t going to turn into a rant about the negative side of the Internet, I’m not that type of guy, I love my Google, but when reporting movie news, the Internet can be a dangerous thing. It’s not “Hannibal Lecter” dangerous, or even “Hitler” dangerous, but it is “crazy rumor” dangerous. Take, for example the news from AICN that Al Pacino may have a role in Quantum of Solace.

The first poster is out for the latest James Bond movie: Quantum of Solace (aka Bond 22, which I vastly prefer). You may have heard that the latest movie will pick up right where Casino Royale ended and the new poster verifies that. If you compare the poster below to the image on the left, which is from the very end of the previous film, you’ll see they match.

It’s a Sunday and as a film fan I was just sitting around surfing the net. At some point I decided to visit the official James Bond website. As the page loaded I saw that the site is now titled: Quantum Of Solace - Official Site.

While there is not yet a whole lot to see there, they do have a nice detailed story description to pass the time.

The other reason for this article is that I just wanted to see how many times I could type Quantum Of Solace before it sank in as the title for the Bond 22 movie.

I think that by the time Quantum Of Solace is released in November I’ll be ready!
