Ex-CIA Officer Laments Q's Absence from Modern James Bond [James Bond]

Quantum of Solace, the new James Bond movie scheduled for release in mid-November might be a fine movie, but something is missing. There is no Q. James Bond without Q is like toast without butter. Over more than three decades, Q's work amazed audiences and saved Bond's life. Q's inventions confounded Bond's adversaries and inspired engineers at the CIA—really—to stretch the limits of physics and adapt the most advanced technology to espionage needs. I used to run that department, the CIA Office of Technical Service. “Q was an inspiration,” a long-time technical officer once told me. “When a new Bond movie was released, we always got calls asking, ‘Do you have one of those?' If I answered ‘no,' the next question was, ‘How long will it take you to make it?' Folks didn't care about the laws of physics or that Q was an actor in a fictional movie—his character and inventiveness pushed our imagination.” Former Soviet intelligence officers have commented to American counterparts that Bond movies were carefully analyzed by KGB technicians. The Soviets believed that Q's gadgets telegraphed the Western technical capabilities that Soviet counterintelligence would eventually face. But Q's devices, unlike those available to American cold war spies, always worked exactly as they were designed. The late Richard Helms, former Director of Central Intelligence, noted this contrast with Bond in writing, “[Our] operational plumbing…included…versions of some of the gadgets James Bond always had at hand. It sometimes seemed the more impressive a device appeared in the workshop, the more fragile it was. It took some experience before case officers learned not to fling these prima donna utensils into the back seat of an automobile, but to treat them with the delicate hand they required.” By the mid 1990's digital technology was revolutionizing technical espionage just as the integrated circuit had done three decades earlier. IC's made possible tiny bugs for clandestine audio, electronic communications devices and new sensors for collection and detection. But by 1999, software code—visually unexciting strings of ones and zeros—buried in a computer or a PDA, rather than sleek concealments, tiny bugs and miniature cameras, had became the heart of spy gear. In QoS, fast cars, exotic weapons, brilliant explosions and smooth seduction apparently remain, but the inestimatible Q and his amazing gadgets are gone, possibly forever. Robert Wallace, a retired CIA officer, is the former director of the CIA's Office of Technical Service and author of SPYCRAFT: The Secret History of the CIA's Spytechs from Communism to al-Qaeda.

James Bond: Quantum of Solace

The 22nd James Bond film now has a title — QUANTUM OF SOLACE. The title is from one of the short stories published by 007 creator Ian Fleming in 1960. Producer Michael Wilson said Quantum of Solace will have “twice as much action” as 2006’s Casino Royale. HOTTTTT! Daniel Craig will be reprising his role as James Bond. Olga Kurylenko, who plays Bond girl Camille in the film, said that she’s been working hard preparing for her role. “I’m doing weapons training and body flight training for aerial scenes and stunt work for fighting,” she said. “My days are so long, and it’s very physical. She’s going to be very different from the previous Bond girls.She’s a fighter. This girl is going to kick ass. She’s on her own mission and she’s driven by revenge.” Gemma Arterton, who plays an MI6 agent in the film, said she has already shot her love scenes with Craig. “I felt like a giggly girl,” she said. “And I felt so young and inexperienced - but I kissed James Bond!” James Bond: Quantum of Solace is set for a Nov. 7th release.

James Bond’s Aston Martin Lands in Italian Lake

The car used in the latest James Bond film plunged into a lake in Italy on Sunday, while driven by a stunt driver, who was delivering the vehicle, a $220,000 Aston Martin, to the set of the new movie, “Quantum of Solace.” The accident was not the result of a stunt, but of the heavy rain combined with the narrow curves of the Lake Guarda. Fortunately, the driver was rescued quickly by firemen and taken to the hospital with minor injuries. Italian television showed footage of the smashed, black car, reportedly the only one available for the new movie, while it was pulled out of the lake's water. “Quantum of Solace” is the latest film in the 007 series, starring Daniel Craig. The film is due to be released later this year and it has been filmed in several locations, including Chile, Mexico, Panama, England and Spain. The poetic title of the film was taken from a collection of short stories written by 007 creator Ian Fleming. As previously reported, the new film will continue the story told in “Casino Royale,” as Bond seeks to discover the truth about Vesper Lynd's betrayal. It was revealed that he learns Vesper (portrayed by Eva Green) had been blackmailed. addthis_url = 'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.makeushot.com%2Fjames-bonds-aston-martin-lands-in-italian-lake%2F'; addthis_title = 'James+Bond%26%238217%3Bs+Aston+Martin+Lands+in+Italian+Lake'; addthis_pub = ''; [lien] [EN]
