James Bond flick to hit Indian screens before US
The upcoming James Bond movie ‘Quantum of Solace’ will hit the Indian theatres a week before its US release.
Indian movie buffs may be indifferent to whether the Bond likes his martinis shaken or stirred, but they do enjoy watching the suave Agent 007 in action against the baddies. That’s why the last Bond movie, ‘Casino Royale’, turned out to be a money-spinner at the Indian box-office.
Perhaps taking a cue from that, Sony Pictures Releasing India has reportedly taken the unprecedented decision to release the next Bond movie ‘Quantum of Solace’ in India on November 7, a week before the film’s release in North America on November 14.
The film will have it’s UK release on October 31.
Kercy Daruwalla, managing director of Sony Pictures Releasing India, is quoted as saying that James Bond has a huge fan following in India and that is why ‘Quantum of Solace’ will be released with about 700 prints dubbed into regional languages Hindi, Tamil and Telugu, apart from its original language English.
Starring Daniel Craig as the agent 007 for the second time, the movie is a sequel to ‘Casino Royale’ and has been directed by Marc Forster. In the film, Bond avenges the death of Vesper Lynd and battles Dominic Greene, a member of the Quantum organization.
The film has been shot in Panama, Chile, Italy and Austria.
