Quantum of Solace. Interesting choice. One the one hand it seems rather intelligent and less cartoony or uninspired as other Bond titles, read: The World is not Enough. Thus, the new title embodies the rather more adult direction that Bond is taking from Casino Royale forward. What I do not like about this title is that it seems rather flat. It evokes nothing.

An intersting tid-bit from this AP article is that Quantum of Solace picks up just about where Casino Royale left off:

Filming began earlier this month at Pinewood, the franchise’s home since the 1960s. It’s a direct sequel to 2006’s “Casino Royale,” beginning an hour after that film ends, with Bond devastated by his betrayal by true love Vesper Lynd.

“He had his heart broken at the end of the last movie and that certainly is a spur for him in this one,” Craig said.

“I’d be lying if I said there wasn’t revenge in his heart. But it’s more than that. That spurs him on, but that’s not what the movie is. It’s not a revenge movie. It’s about him figuring a few things out.”
