The Quantum of Solace
« on: January 24, 2008, 05:24:06 PM »
Odds are Wenchy has a look in here thinking its a Harry Potter title  whistle: In fact its the official title of the new James Bond film. How the title is meant to allude to his state of mind I've got no idea  rubschin:

Quote
The next James Bond film is to be called Quantum of Solace, producers have confirmed.
The title is taken from one of a collection of short stories published by 007 creator Ian Fleming in 1960.

Producer Michael Wilson said the film would have "twice as much action" as 2006's Casino Royale, which saw Daniel Craig debut as the iconic secret agent.

The next outing, previously known by the name Bond 22, is partly being shot at Pinewood Studios in Buckinghamshire.

At a press conference at the facility, reporters were shown a minute of footage from the new film, including Bond swinging on a rope after an explosion at an art gallery in Siena, Italy.

Another scene showed him meeting M - played by Dame Judi Dench - outside in the snow.

Filming on the movie has been taking place at Pinewood since November.

Craig said the cryptic title reflected Bond's state of mind after the events of Casino Royale.

"His heart's been broken and he's sort of going out to find the guy who's responsible," said the star.

"So he's looking for revenge, you know, to make himself happy with the world again.

"But it also alludes to something else in the film," he added.

'Driven by revenge'

Kurylenko, who plays Bond girl Camille in the film, said that she has yet to film any scenes, but was 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.

"This girl is going to kick ass. She's on her own mission and she's driven by revenge."

It is as yet unclear whether Camille is a secret agent.

French actor Mathieu Amalric, who plays the villainous Dominic Greene, told reporters his character had "the smile of Tony Blair and the crazy eyes of Nicholas Sarkozy".

 scared2: Bloody hell, that sounds almost as scarey as Nick holding a box of fireworks  eeek:

Quote
Actress Gemma Arterton plays an MI6 agent in the film and has already shot her love scenes with 007.

She said: "I felt like a giggly girl, and I felt so young and inexperienced - but I kissed James Bond!"

The 21-year-old, who recently starred in the St Trinian's film, said her Bond role is "not so frolicksome" and her character "fresh and young, not sultry and a femme fatale".

'Pretty prickly'

Dame Judi Dench, who returns for her sixth Bond film, said: "I get to do more in this one, which is brilliant."

She hinted that her character's relationship with Bond would be "pretty prickly".

Rumours about the name had grown after fans noticed that film studio Sony had bought the domain name quantumofsolace.com.

But co-producer Michael Wilson said the name had only been decided "a few days ago", adding the story's start point would be "literally an hour after the last film left off".

Asked if Casino Royale star Eva Green would appear in Quantum of Solace, co-producer Barbara Broccoli said: "There are no flashbacks in the film, but she's certainly on Bond's mind."

Director Marc Forster is in charge of work on the movie, which is due for release on 7 November.

Apparently in this film he gets married, so I suppose she lasts as long as Diana Rigg did in On Her Majesty's Secret Service. 
I couldn't ask for better friends. I could ask for more NORMAL friends, but not better ones.

Excellent book about Bond which my neighbour borrowed and has, of course, not returned.

The Man who saved Britain

Highly recommended

Looking at the online trailers I'm really looking forward to this film.

It seems it's the first Bond film that is a direct sequel to a previous one and continues an hour or so from where the previous plot ended.

I shall go to the new Showcase cinema experience place and be waited on hand and foot whilst avoiding a half hour or so of adverts.  cloud9:
