Next Bond film to be out in October

The release date of the next Bond film, 'Quantum of Solace', has been announced.

The 22nd 007 adventure opens nationwide on October 31, with a premiere at Leicester Square, London, England.

Daniel Craig, 40, returns as Bond and is joined by British newcomer Gemma Arterton, 22.

'Quantum of Solace' follows 'Casino Royale', the critical and box office success in which Craig made his Bond debut.

The thriller became the highest-grossing Bond movie of all time, earning more than €291m worldwide.

In the new film, 007 attempts to uncover the truth behind the organisation which blackmailed Vesper (Eva Green), the lover who betrayed him.

The cryptic-sounding title of the next Bond instalment was announced at a press conference in January.
