BOND'S BACK FOR FALL
- Hollywood does high school -
Monday August 25 6:27 AM ET
Harry Potter pulled a disappearing act from Hollywood's fall and holiday schedule, his sixth big-screen adventure bumped from this November into next summer. That leaves a little more room to roam at the box office for the likes of James Bond, a vampire heartthrob, the "High School Musical" kids and all those talking cartoon critters studios are about to unleash.
The season offers action (Bond's latest, "Quantum of Solace"), family flicks (the animated sequel "Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa"), fantasy romance (the best-seller adaptation "Twilight"), and serious stuff lining up for the Academy Awards, from Nicole Kidman's epic "Australia" to Bond star Daniel Craig's war saga "Defiance."
"Quantum of Solace": James Bond picks up where he left off in "Casino Royale," in a vengeful mood over the death of his great love and taking arms against a bad guy trying to corner the market on water. "It literally takes place 20 minutes after `Casino Royale' ends," says Daniel Craig, who returns for his second gig as Bond. "We pick the story up obviously with James Bond out for revenge, on a personal vendetta. It then gets more complicated than that."
