Quantum of Solace

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Quantum of Solace is the 22nd James Bond film by EON Productions, due for release in the United Kingdom on 31 October 2008 and in North America on 7 November. The sequel to Casino Royale (2006), it is directed by Marc Forster, and features Daniel Craig's second performance as James Bond. Casino Royale's Paul Haggis, Neal Purvis, and Robert Wade returned as writers, alongside newcomer Joshua Zetumer. In the film, Bond battles Dominic Greene (Mathieu Amalric), a member of the Quantum organisation posing as an environmentalist, who intends to stage a coup d'état in Bolivia to take control of its water supply. Bond seeks revenge for the death of Vesper Lynd, and is assisted by Camille (Olga Kurylenko), who also wants to kill Greene. The title was chosen from an unrelated short story in Ian Fleming's For Your Eyes Only (1960).

Producer Michael G. Wilson created the film's story while Casino Royale was shooting. The film was originally scheduled for a 2 May 2008 release, but it was pushed back to allow more time when Roger Michell dropped out as director. Second unit filming began in August 2007 at Siena and Madrid, before principal photography began in January 2008 at Pinewood Studios. Production designer Dennis Gassner took over from Peter Lamont, who retired after working on eighteen Bond films. Gassner designed the five major Pinewood sets, which stand in for Siena, Bolivia, and the MI6 headquarters. His designs are close to the modernism of Ken Adam, the first Bond production designer. Location filming took place in Panama, Chile, Italy and Austria, before moving back to Pinewood in June. There will be more gadgets than in Casino Royale, though they will still aim to be realistic.
 


This looks awesome! Daniel Craig is awesome as Bond. I love the new, more "raw" feel of the Bond films. Reminds me of the Bourne Identity style.
 

I almost hate to respond just based on a trailer, but does this look like the Bourne Identity to anyone else? "Cut off all his passports. Find Bond!" Does M look like that lady in charge of finding Bourne? Just a passing thought. And yes, the action and pacing do remind me of the Bourne Identity. I've read in interviews with the directors, writers, and cast of Casino Royale that the Bourne movies influenced the style of the reboot. It doesn't surprise me that the Quantum of Solace took a turn in this direction.

I hope that this is just a coincidence and my fears of it being a copy are unfounded. Sometimes, trailers have a habit of influencing you in one direction, only to find out the movie's completely different when you see it in a theater.
 

Casino Royale was okay, felt the new raw realistic Bond, was just a spy movie with the lead named Bond. Daniel Craig, is great for the role, but you could call him Bourne and get the same results :confused:
 

The Trailer looks good - I think so far the favourite I've seen in a few months. I hope the movie is just as good. ;)

Who is the Bond Girl?
And is it possible that "Helo" (BSG) is playing in the movie - the last guy that appears to be close to killing Bond at the end of the trailer looked a little like him...

Oh, and the CIA agent from the last movie is back! Nice.

Well I didn't see it, but they are giving Bond more of a conscience, so things might veer that way.
