Directed by Marc Forster.
A devastating betrayal sends James Bond from Australia, to Italy and South America on a mission of vengeance that pits the suave super spy against a powerful businessman with diabolical intentions. Betrayed by Vesper, 007 (Daniel Craig) suppresses the urge to make his latest mission personal as he teams with M (Judy Dench) to interrogate Mr. White (Jesper Christensen). It soon becomes apparent that the organization behind the blackmailing of Vesper is more powerful than Bond and M had previously anticipated, and after discovering forensic evidence that links an Mi6 traitor to a bank in Haiti, Bond immediately sets out to gather more intelligence. Once in Haiti, a case of mistaken identity leads Bond into the company of the ravishing Camille (Olga Kurylenko), a dangerous beauty with her own vendetta. It's Camille who leads Bond to a ruthless businessman named Dominic Greene (Daniel Amalric) who is soon revealed to be the mastermind of a powerful but clandestine organization. Greene is conspiring to corner the market on one of the world's most precious natural resources, and in order to make that happen he has forged a deal with an exiled general named Medrano (Joaquin Cosio). By enlisting the aid of his many associates and using his vast resources to force contacts within the CIA and the British Government into bending to his will, Greene plans to overthrow the current regime of a Latin American country and hand control over to General Medrano in exchange for a parcel of land that appears barren on the surface, but actually houses a natural resource that will make Greene the most powerful man on the planet. But Bond's mission to uncover the culprit who blackmailed Vesper and prevent Dominic Greene from exerting his will on the entire world won't be easy, because now everyone from the CIA to the terrorists and even M are out to get him. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

"At least once a month I see another headline claiming that Amy Winehouse is singing the title track to Quantum of Solace (aka Bond 22). But with the latest story, from BBC News, I finally understand why the internet rumor mill keeps on pumping out the claim without word of a confirmation. According to music producer Mark Ronson, he and Winehouse are merely recording a demo of a song they hope winds up on the Quantum of Solace soundtrack: “They asked Amy, and I think Amy said that if she did it, she’d want to do it with me. So hopefully something will come of it,” he told the station’s Music Week’s show. “The demo sounds like a James Bond theme, hopefully. But I don’t know if it’ll get used.” He added: “I’m sure there are loads more really famous people that probably we’re competing with and we don’t know about. I’m not sure. “But hopefully I’ll still be alive for at least 12 more Bond themes. If we don’t get this one maybe we’ll get another one.” I was never aware that each 007 mo ... " [More]

"The mayor of a remote town in Chile interrupted the filming of the new 007 film, Quantum of Solace, yesterday and was detained by police as a result. Carlos Lopez, of Sierra Gorda, literally came between cameras and Bond star Daniel Craig when he drove onto the set, an act of protest against two separate points. His first issue was with the size of the production, which apparently brought in special forces and a water cannon and prohibited people from walking around freely in their own town. He claims the scene was reminiscent of the worst of times during the harsh junta dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet. Boo hoo to his having flashbacks, and maybe I’m just used to film shoots hindering my walk around NYC, but that is no reason to mess with Bond. (more…) Originally posted on:SpoutBlog " [More]

"Sony Pictures has announced that the official title for the 22nd James Bond installment is Quantum of Solace. The title is taken from one of a collection of short stories published by 007 creator Ian Fleming in 1960. The new film sees 007 (Daniel Craig) out for revenge on a mission that takes him to Austria, Italy and South America. Bond girl Camille, played by Ukrainian-born Olga Kurylenko, leads the secret agent to Dominic Greene (Mathieu Amalric), member of a mysterious organization and a ruthless businessman, seeking to control huge natural resources. 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 said. At a press conference at Pinewood Studios in Buckinghamshire, reporters were shown a minu ... " [More]
