007: Quantum of Solace

[Lord Malakite]

Looks like the name for the new Bond film has been revealed.

According to the synopsis, Bond girl Camille, played by Ukrainian-born Olga Kurylenko, leads the secret agent to Dominic Greene, member of a mysterious organization and a ruthless businessman, seeking to control huge natural resources.

Greene is played by Mathieu Amalric, who starred in the Oscar-nominated The Diving Bell and Butterfly. The plot follows on directly from Casino Royale as Bond aims to uncover the truth about Vesper, the beauty who betrayed him, and discovers that she had been blackmailed. "James Bond is after revenge, and Camille is after revenge and they have slightly different goals, but in the end they are going to have to collaborate," Kurylenko told reporters.

"The crux of the story is an emotional element called a Quantum of Solace, the smallest unit of human compassion that two people can have. As long as that compassion exists, people can survive, but when it is gone, when your partner no longer cares about your essential humanity, the relationship is over."

What a weird title. But at least it's not as strange as "Octo*****".

[El Chuxter]

That is a dumb name. Was this actually a book by Mr Fleming?

[Jedi_Master_Guyute]

My understanding is that it's a short story from Fleming. I think it's a pretty interesting name. I'm excited for this flick.

Worse title than The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones.

How many stories does Fleming have in the closet that haven't been used yet?

[El Chuxter]

They're bringing back Lazenby, right? That man is the only Bond I care about.

[JEDIpartner]

I heart Daniel Craig.

JP and I have a Quantum of Solace.

This title is total junk, it's clunky and awkward. The details about the film in the opening post seem like a total mess and utterly undermining what little strength the last film's overarching tale had.
