Daniel Craig returns as agent 007 James Bond for the next film about the legendary spy. This next outing for 007 is the 22nd film in the franchise and was temporarily titled Bond 22. However, Pinewood Studios in London announced today that the film’s official title will be “Quantum of Solace.”
With 22 films to its credit over the last 44 years the Bond film franchise is truly the most successful of all franchises with Star Trek coming in second followed by Star Wars.
Under the direction of Marc Foster (“Stranger Than Fiction”), the plot for “Quantum of Solace” will be adapted from the Ian Fleming collection of stories in his “For Your Eyes Only” saga, according to producer Michael G. Wilson. Fleming was the creator of the iconic snoop.
“We thought it was an intriguing title and referenced what happened to Bond and what is happening in the film,” Wilson said.
“It is not a revenge movie,” said co-producer Barbara Broccoli, refering to how Casino Royale ended with the death of the woman Bond would have married. “It’s a lot more complicated than that. It has lots of action but it also deals with the inner turmoil Bond is feeling.”
“Quantum of Solace” will premiere simultaneously in Britain and the United States on November 7, 2008.
I think this a terrible name for any movie.
If they drop the ” of ” it works a little better; but not much.
I hope they change it to something more Bond like.
I agree. James Bond is the last thing I think of when I hear “Quantum of Solace”.
