Another blockbuster movie heading our way this year is the 22nd James Bond film, Quantum of Solace. This will be the new ‘Bond’ Daniel Craig’s second 007 film, and it’ll be a sequel to 2006’s Casino Royale, considered by some as the best Bond film in recent years thanks to it’s high impact action and it being a ‘reboot’ to the franchise giving it a refreshing and more realistic portrayal of the James Bond mythos.
Quantum of Solace will be a direct sequel to Casino Royale, taking place hours after the first film. This time James Bond faces Dominic Greene (Mathieu Amalric), a member of the Quantum organisation posing as an environmentalist, who intends to stage a coup d’état in Bolivia to take control of its water supply, and to seek revenge for the death of Vesper Lynd (from Casino Royale). The new “Bond Girl” for this movie will be supermodel Olga Kurylenko who plays Camille, a woman who also wants to kill Greene.
Like every Bond film, Quantum of Solace will have it’s share of high tech gadgets and technology, though like in Casino Royale, they will still aim to be realistic. As far as Bond films go, Casino Royale is definitely at th top 5, and from the trailer alone Quantum of Solace shaping up to be the one of the best 007 movies ever! Quantum of Solace hits the silver screen on November 2008.
