It sounds like the most un-Bond like story name I can recall, but it does sound fascinating. Say it with me: Quantum of Solace. That’s the name given to the 22nd Bond film, and it’s actually the name of a short story in Ian Fleming’s anthology “For Your Eyes Only”, from 1960.

The current James Bond, Daniel Craig, says “the title was meant to confuse a little… make you… wonder.” Craig first appeared as Bond in Casino Royale (2006), which is the highest grossing Bond flick ever ($300M). I stopped watching when Timothy Dalton became Bond, but I think it’s time to check out Daniel Craig, who currently appears in The Golden Compass. If Casino Royale did that well, Quantum of Solace has a good chance of being a top movie in 2008.

Quantum of Solace also stars Olga Kurylenko (Hitman) as the new Bond girl, Camille, and Gemma Arterton as Agent Fields, but whom some people are saying is a second Bond girl. Could be true: #22 = 2 Bond girls? Dame Judi Dench plays M.

The movie opens Nov 7 of this year.
