Next Bond Movie Title Revealed!!
Posted by Michael Avila on 01/24/08 at 02:56 PM

Ready to learn what the 22nd James Bond adventure will be called. Are you ready?

"QUANTUM OF SOLACE".

Umm... What in the name of Dr. Holly Goodhead does that mean? OK, the title stinks. It's not slick, menacing, gritty, catchy or memorable like previous Bond titles. Who cares?

The name was revealed today outside London's legendary Pinewood Studios. One of the film's producers Michael G. Wilson, said the title comes from a story by Bond creator Ian Fleming found in his collection "For Your Eyes Only."
Wilson said the title refers to what's happening to 007 in the film, which picks up shortly after 2006's "Casino Royale."

If you've decided not to go see a new Bond movie because of a bad title, then you're nuts. As long as Daniel Craig is back as 007, Judi Dench as M (and they're both are), that's all that should matter. And Marc Forster ("The Kite Runner" and "Monster's Ball") is directing. 'Nuff said.

Don't forget Mathieu Amalric from "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly" is the bad guy. Great casting! He was awesome as the shady informant in Spielberg's "Munich."

"Bond 22" .. er, "Quantom of Solace" opens Nov. 7th.

I care.
As you said, it isn't menacing, gritty, catchy, or memorable. I will still see the movie, (no duh) but I think studios shouldn't get so careless with what they want to call their films. "It's a Bond movie, it doesn't matter what we call it because people will come." That mentality sucks.

I miss the good old days where at a Hollywood meeting if you pitched a stupid title, you were fired.

It's official- Quantum of Solice is indeed worse than Kingdom of the Crystal Skull...
