Fall movie preview: Saving 2008?

“Quantum of Solace” (Nov. 14)

In “Casino Royale,” Daniel Craig transformed James Bond from a smooth operator into a full-fledged badass (without sacrificing the requisite charm and lady-killing). For the unusually titled follow-up, directed by Marc Forster (“Monster’s Ball”), 007 takes on an environmentalist (Mathieu Amalric of “The Diving Bell and the Butterfly”) trying to hog a country’s water supply. Eat your heart out, Al Gore.

Curiosity level: 6
