LONDON (AP) - James Bond will be back in theaters a little sooner than expected. At least in his home country of England.

"Quantum of Solace" will be released in Britain on October 31.
Initially, it was going to open November 7. It still will open November 7 in North America.

Daniel Craig is returning as Bond, tracking down a shadowy international conspiracy whose leader is played by French actor Mathieu Almaric.

The movie's being filmed in Panama, Chile, Austria, Italy and at Pinewood Studios near London.
