So, the name for "Bond 22" has been revealed!

 

IVER HEATH, England (AFP) — "Quantum of Solace" was unveiled Thursday as the title of the next James Bond film at the launch of the superspy's latest adventure.

 

The name for the movie, directed by Marc Forster, and until now provisionally titled "Bond 22", was revealed at Pinewood Studios, west of London, where filming is already underway.

 

"Quantum of Solace" was the name of a short story in Bond creator Ian Fleming's 1960 anthology "For Your Eyes Only".

 

Daniel Craig is reprising his role as 007, following his 2006 debut in "Casino Royale".

 

The new movie will also star Ukrainian model and actress Olga Kurylenko as the new Bond girl, with French actor Mathieu Amalric -- currently starring in "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly" -- cast as the main villian.

 

"Quantum of Solace" is set to be released later this year.

 

Interesting name, no doubt. I can't wait for the movie, though. :D

 

And the new bond girls!

It may have come from Ian Fleming, but this name just doesn't seem to sit very well with the names of the other movies. It doesn't immediately grab you by the throat and scream 'Bond Movie!' in your face, imo.

 

Nevertheless, I have hopes the next outing will be a good blast. I liked Casino Royale - it was time for something a bit fresher and more grounded in the real world, and Daniel Craig did a good job in the lead role.

I find myself constantly singing the praises of Casino Royale to my family and friends. I think that film really brought Bond back to basics, and gave him an edge we hadn't seen in a long time. And Daniel Craig added a deep intensity to Bond that really sold me on him. As a result of all that, for once Bond became unpredictable, suspensful, and gripping.

 

So, watching this trailer and knowing it's picking up right where Casino Royale left off... EXACTLY where it left off, I got pretty damn excited, and I'm fairly certain this excitement level isn't going anywhere but up until November gets here.

There is a Quantum of Solace in my pants.

 

 

Seriously, I liked Casino Royale, but not sure yet how I feel about Daniel Craig. Sure he's athletic and British, but he's missing some of that smart ass element that made James Bond so damn cool over the years. I know this is supposed to be the "gritty bond", but I miss the wise humor....a lot.
