Organisers have announced the world’s first public screening of new Bond film Quantum of Solace is to take place at this year’s London Film Festival. This will take place on 29th October at the Odeon West End, same night as the film’s world premiere. Based on interviews given by the disgraced former US president to Sir David Frost this festival will open with director Ron Howard’s Frost/Nixon.

Announcement of the Bond premiere coincides with the release of a second trailer for Quantum of Solace, six weeks ahead of the film’s arrival in UK cinemas. The taster contains excerpts from previously unseen action sequences and shows Daniel Craig’s 007 and Dame Judi Dench’s M discussing revenge. This new Bond girl Olga Kurylenko is also featured in the trailer, which introduces the film’s French villain Dominic Greene. Penelope Cruz and Omar Sharif are amongst the stars expected to attend.
