James Bond, the Quantum of Solace and MovieSet

Wed, 3 Sep 2008 23:11:44 PDT

Daniel Craig returns for his second mission as the world's most suave secret agent in Quantum of Solace, the new James Bond movie set for release on November 7. For the first time ever in the Bond franchise Quantum is a direct sequel to the previous 007 film, Casino Royale. After being betrayed by Vesper Lynd, watching her die and then learning that she was blackmailed by a terrorist organization with tentacles across the globe, Bond goes after the bad guys and doesn't pull any punches. Crossing the globe in search of his quarry, 007 allies with a beautiful woman (Olga Kurylenko) who is also on a mission of vengeance against the same people he's hunting. MovieSet's sitelet for Quantum of Solace is now up and we've got plenty for you to download. Take a look at nearly three dozen stills from the movie, watch the film's trailer and then see the behind-the-scenes interviews with Daniel Craig about what's new for his character in the latest adventure. We'll also be adding more behind-the-scenes videos to our Quantum site in the days ahead. And here's a little trivia fact about the title of the flick: Quantum of Solace was selected by producer Michael Wilson only a few days before it was officially announced to the world. Wilson took the title from a short story that Bond creator Ian Fleming wrote in his "For Your Eyes Only" compilation.

RT Interview: Daniel Craig talks Quantum of Solace

Wed, 26 Nov 2008 00:00:00 PST

Rotten Tomatoes has posted an interview with 'Quantum of Solace' star Daniel Craig. Craig talks about still having the same people around despite his huge success attained as the sixth Bond. He also confesses being quite obsessive with work and focusing his attention to his own stunt work. Craig also laughs of his injuries, the exoitc locations, and his talented co-stars.

"...The days of the misogynistic Bond are sort of over. It doesn't stop him from being misogynist at times but if he comes into contact with strong people, not just strong women, but strong people, it is just sexier. It is more interesting if someone challenges him and it is a woman..."

"...You have to do the choreography, but that's why you go for months with the stunt team and train. They make it automatic. They make it so you don't have to think, 'Oh, what's next?' They trained me so hard I could fight in my sleep. I think the stunt coordinator did say this-- 'It should be so in your blood that if I wake you up in the middle of the night, and i said go to do that scene, you should get up and know exactly what you're doing..."

I was slamming a door on Mathieu’s face so I probably deserved it...and I got eight stitches in my face from a kick. That was nothing really. I was back at work immediately. It’s tiny stuff..."

Daniel Craig: Quantum of Solace

Tue, 14 Oct 2008 13:12:29 PDT

The Telegraph has caught up with Daniel Craig on his second Bond film, 'Quantum of Solace'. Craig credits Ian Fleming for the immense success of Casino Royale and his portrayal of James Bond.

Craig also raves about the cast and locations in which 'Quantum of Solace' was shot. 'Quantum of Solace' is out in theaters October 31st.

"...Northern Chile is an extraordinary place, a shingled desert, high plains and nothingness, and we were up at 10,000 feet and the sky is beyond big. It's horizon to horizon, uninterrupted, and the stars - just a complete canopy of stars, and you can watch them move over as the night goes on..."

Bond's new song already on the net

Thu, 18 Sep 2008 18:07:56 PDT

Every new Bond film guarantees us another theme song performed (and usually written) by an A-list musical talent. Shirley Basset gave us the memorable tune for Goldfinger, Duran Duran sold us on From a View to a Kill but Madonna's Die Another Day flatlined on the record charts. Just merely being a James Bond tune doesn't automatically mean that the song will be memorable. So what's the buzz on the next Quantum of Solace tune, the duet by Jack White of The White Stripes and Alicia Keys called "Another Way to Die"? Listen for yourself and find out. The song is now on the internet and can be heard in its entirety. In my opinion it's got a good start that grabs you but then it loses its momentum and becomes forgetful pretty fast.

So there it is and I'm meh about it. What's your take on the tune? Think that it could be a hit or will it sink faster than George Lazenby's film career after he made On Her Majesty's Secret Service?

Interview with Daniel Craig on Pushing James Bond Forward

Sat, 21 Mar 2009 00:00:00 PDT

Just as Quantum of Solace debuts on DVD and Blu-ray around the world, the Herald Sun has posted an extensive interview with Daniel Craig where he discusses exactly what went into making the 22nd James Bond adventure.

“…It’s like a whack in the face and I think that’s what we needed. It takes the story on, it deals with all the unfinished business from Casino Royale plus we’ve booted it up—the stunts look amazing, the locations look fantastic and there’s not a lot of time to breathe. Next time we’ll do something more lyrical…”

Quantum of Solace: Olga Kurylenko on being the latest Bond girl

Quantum of Solace: Olga Kurylenko on being the latest Bond girl

The newest Bond girl, Olga Kurylenko, takes some time out to talk to the Telegraph about her latest role as, Camille. Kurylenko talks about being spotted at the age of 13, by a model agent – and the journey from there. Having grown up without affording much, Kurylenko expresses the loyalty and love for her mother who supported her the entire way. Kurylenko can be seen in the 22nd Bond installment, ‘Quantum of Solace’ November 14th.

“…But, you know, it was paying me money. When you come from Ukraine, and seriously I had no future whatsoever, we didn't have money to pay for big studies. So when they're wanting you to pose in lingerie for €5,000, you know what? I'm f-ing doing it! Because I was starving…”

Bond interview: Quantum Of Solace director Marc Forster

Mon, 20 Oct 2008 11:38:49 PDT

The Screen Daily has interviewed 'Quantum of Solace' director Marc Forster. Forster talks about the reason he accepted the 22nd Bond movie, the character's journeys and the post-production stage of the film. Forster also chats about living up to Casino Royale, and looking at 'Quantum of Solace' as an art film. 'Quantum of Solace' is out in theaters October 31st.

"...But one of the successes of Bond is his mystery," says Forster. "You don't want to have Bond explain himself emotionally or analyse (himself) too much. So I created Camille (played by Olga Kurylenko) as one of the Bond girls, who is a mirror image of him. She's an assassin and has a revenge motive..."
