Quantum of Solace 007 thread

BBC news just announced that Quantum of Solace will indeed be the title for the 22nd movie in the James Bond franchise.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7206997.stm

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 as Bond 22, is partly being shot at Pinewood Studios in Buckinghamshire.

driven by revenge is a scary phrase.

the new bond was so great because it ignored it's pedigree. I see revenge mentioned twice here.

my fear is that rather than getting interesting, this bond will be al about "you'll pay now, mr who ever you are that killed my woman" yawn.

As for the new bond girl who is also "driven by revenge" i get this horrible gutt feeling she's going to

be the sister of that girl who got killed in the hammock.

please please please don't let me be right. oh god.

I don't want this to become Bond Wars where every important international figure is somehow blood or sex related to people in the first film. ugh .

that said, man i can't wait, Casino Royal was flippin amazing.

So is this a totally new original Bond story? Bc/ while I didn't get the whole Bond vibe from most of the last one, the last scene gave me chills as it delivered on all the Bondyness the rest of the movie had intentionally with-held... I'm excited.

Yes, that was Casino Royale's best strength; keeping the Bondyness to the very end. It remains to be seen how this film fares since the last one was the "creation of Bond". Now that he's been made, will he be the same as before or will he be more Bourne-ish. Bourrne != Bond.

I thought Casino Royale was going to be the dumbest thing ever until I saw it. It changed my mind and I rank it as one of my top three favorite Bond movies now. I'm going to give this movie the benefit of the doubt and probably go see it opening week. The ball is in it's court to let me down and I won't badmouth it until I see it.

I'm in agreement with your final assessment, but I have to admit that I think Danny Craig was the kind of injection the franchise needed. Timothy Dalton is a twat and Pierce Brosnan would've been a good Bond during the Cold War, but once that ended the whole idea of Bond was lost and Hollywood did their worst to try to carry on the character past the cold war. Danny Craig's Bond is the best reinvention of the character we've had yet, and I have to admit, as a Bond fan, that he is the best incarnation since Connery, and even better for the new millenium (as cheesy as that may sound).

See, daniel Craig is Ian Flemmings Bond. The bond films were aways more gadgety and over the top than the novels, which Im a big fan of. i havent liked most of the bond films, because i distinctly rememebr the books they were written off, and was shocked at how VASTLY different the character of Bond was.

Then along came Casino royale.

And...wow. Its JAMES BOND man! QUick thinking, cold, calculating Bond. Women are just something he has to do to keep going ona job. He IS the job!

Bring on the new flick, Im finally getting my Bond movies!

Few days ago the production was in my country (Chile) filming some scenes. But in the film they will say that the country is Bolivia. :wacko:

You've got to love stuff like that. Bolivia was probably more expensive and or a hassle. :lol:

Just rewatched Casino Royale last night, kick-ass. I'm excited about this next installment though the title is kind of out there (though I'm sure the movie plot will explain it's significance).

The significance has already been explained. It was originally used by Fleming for a short story. Wikipedia has the full story on why it was chosen and why it's significant.

He looked kind of old to be Bond at the start of his secret agent career.

It's never been intended to be the "start" of his spy career. It's only the start of his 00 status. Bond has always been a veteran agent, implying he's no fresh-faced twenty-something. In Fleming's books, Bond had served with Naval Intelligence in WW2, some 15-20 years earlier.

My Country has better reputation in security, economy and social stability. We are well appreciated by the 1st World. :lol:
