James Bond takes Quantum of Solace as the new title for the next film

james bond quantum of solaceOh my, I am super excited to see the new Bond film, “Quantum of Solace.”  The title doesn’t really roll off the tongue, but it will have to do.  When “Casino Royale” came out people were skeptical with the blonde Bond, but after Daniel Craig gave a stellar performance I’m sure people will be flocking to the theaters for this one as well.

Filming began earlier this month at Pinewood, the franchise’s home since the 1960s. It’s a direct sequel to 2006’s “Casino Royale,” beginning an hour after that film ends, with Bond devastated by his betrayal by true love Vesper Lynd.

“I’d be lying if I said there wasn’t revenge in his heart. But it’s more than that. That spurs him on, but that’s not what the movie is. It’s not a revenge movie. It’s about him figuring a few things out.”

Producer Barbara Broccoli said the film, directed by Marc Forster (”Monster’s Ball,” “The Kite Runner”), mixes Bond’s “inner turmoil” with action — and of course gadgets — as he tries to stop a shadowy cabal trying to bring down the world economy.

Craig’s second Bond adventure continues in the gritty vein of “Casino Royale,” in which a rough-edged 007, newly granted his “license to kill,” bled, sweat and felt real emotion. But Wilson promised it also has “twice as much action” as its predecessor.

“It’s pretty jam-packed,” he said.

Filming began at Pinewood three weeks ago. Location shooting will take place in Italy, Austria, Panama, Chile and Peru.
