QUANTUM OF SOLACE, the 22nd James Bond adventure in the longest running franchise in film history, began principal photography on 7th January 2008. The film was produced for EON Productions by Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli, directed by Marc Forster and stars Daniel Craig as the legendary secret agent, James Bond. With a screenplay written by Neal Purvis & Robert Wade and Oscar® winner Paul Haggis, the film picks up the storyline just one hour after the end of CASINO ROYALE, marking the first direct sequel produced by EON.
Agent 007 (DANIEL CRAIG) and M's (JUDI DENCH) interrogation of Mr White (JESPER CHRISTENSEN) proves no one can be trusted on James Bond's newest action adventure, QUANTUM OF SOLACE.
Fueled by the betrayal of Vesper, the woman he loved, Bond's determination to track down the mastermind behind White's sinister organisation leads to Haiti, where he finds an unlikely ally in Camille (OLGA KURYLENKO), a beautiful but feisty stranger.
The trail quickly leads to Dominic Greene (MATHIEU AMALRIC) but with the British Government and the CIA working against him, Bond must kill or be killed on his mission to uncover the truth and destroy 'Quantum'.
The QUANTUM OF SOLACE production filmed in more overseas locations than any other movie in the 46 year running James Bond franchise. The crew started filming at Pinewood Studios in the UK before travelling to Panama City and Colon in Panama, the Atacama Desert in Chile, Sienna, Carrara, Lake Garda and Fonteblanda in Italy and Bregenz in Austria, with an additional unit filming an aerial sequence in San Felipe, Mexico.
British actor Daniel Craig reprises his role as James Bond after receiving commercial and critical acclaim for his debut performance as the world’s favourite secret agent in CASINO ROYALE. Starring alongside Craig is Olga Kurylenko as Camille. Mathieu Amalric plays the sinister Dominic Greene with ‘Elvis’ at his side, played by Anatole Taubman, and Gemma Arterton is MI6 Agent Fields. Camille’s nemesis, the power hungry General Medrano is played by Joaquín Cosio. Mexican actor Jesús Ochoa is Lt. Orso, Medrano’s right hand man and Fernando Guillén Cuervo is the corrupt Bolivian Colonel of Police.
Judi Dench makes a welcome return as M, the head of the British Secret Service, and Jeffrey Wright once again takes the role of Felix Leiter, Bond’s ally within the American CIA. Jesper Christensen is back as the mysterious Mr White and Giancarlo Giannini plays Mathis, the Italian MI6 contact whose loyalty is questioned by Bond in CASINO ROYALE.
