The first teaser trailer for the new James Bond film Quantum of Solace will makes its debut online at the end of the month.

A German fan site received confirmation from Sony Pictures that the trailer will be launched on Yahoo! on Monday 30th June at 17:00 BST (British Summer Time). Viewing will be exclusively at Yahoo for the first 24 hours.

Running for 1 minute 51 seconds, the trailer will be the first real look at how Daniel Craig’s second outing as 007 is shaping up. The film is released in the UK on 31st October 2008, with many countries following the week after.

Columbia Pictures, who distribute the film, have named the submitted reel “TRAILER A”, indicating that this is just the first teaser. In recent years, Bond films have used a teaser in the summer and a full length theatrical trailer in the fall closer to the time of release.

Sony will be attaching the new 007 preview to their summer tent-pole release Hancock, starring Will Smith and Charlize Theron. Hancock will debut on July 2nd for the holiday weekend in the USA.
