James Bond 22 has a weird title


IVER HEATH, England (AP) - "Quantum of Solace" is the title of the new James Bond film, the 22nd Bond adventure.

The title was revealed to reporters Thursday at Pinewood Studios outside of London, where the movie is being filmed.

Daniel Craig is returning as Agent 007. He picks up where 2006's "Casino Royale" left off, with Bond contemplating revenge after his betrayal by his true love, Vesper Lynd.

Filming began at Pinewood Studios earlier this month. Location shooting is planned in Austria, Italy and Panama. Judi Dench returns as the MI-6 boss M and Mathieu Amalric ("The Diving Bell and the Butterfly") plays the villain. Additions to the cast include Ukrainian actress Olga Kurylenko as mysterious Bond girl Camille.

"Quantum of Solace" is due to open in Britain and the United States on Nov. 7.

"Quantum of Solace" sounds like it ought to be playing alongside "The Muted Heart," "The Pain and The Yearning," "Rochelle Rochelle," and "The Other Side of Darkness."

There is absolutely no way that's the title.

In 1988 they had one called License Revoked. They changed it to License to Kill because the testing showed that not enough people knew what "revoked" meant.

So I don't think "quantum of solace" is going to make it.

Sadly you boys may be right, but "Quantum of Solace" is the name of a Bond short story. Yes I've read every piece of Fleming-penned Bond fiction, want to feud about it?

Damn, AC comes out kicking!

AC said...

maybe that was a little too feisty, but in jsp's absence, doesn't someone need to keep up the feuding?

That bastard is kicking it in Hawaii this very second!

Bastard.

Fleming or not, that's a terrible title. You can barely even say it.
