Quantum of Solace is the 22nd James Bond film by EON Production, released in the United Kingdom on 31 October 2008 and due in North America on 14 November. The direct sequel to the 2006 film Casino Royale, it is directed byMarc Forster, and featuresDaniel Craig's second performance asJames Bond. In the film, Bond battles Dominic Greene(Mathieu Amalric), a member of theQuantum organisation posing as an environmentalist, who intends to stage a coup d'etat in Bolivia to take control of its water supply. Bond seeks revenge for the death of Vesper Lynd, and is assisted by Camille Montes(Olga Kurylenko).Producer Michael G.Wilsao created the film's plot while Casino Royale was shooting. Neal Purvis, Robert Wade, Paul Haggis and Joshua Zetumer contributed to the script. The title was chosen from a 1960 short story in Ian Fleming's For Your Eyes Only, though the film does not contain any elements of the original story. Location filming took place in Panama, Chile, Italy and Austria, while interior sets were built and filmed at Pinewood Studios. Forster aimed to make a modern film that also featured classic cinema motifs: an antique aeroplane was used for a dogfight sequence, and Dennis Gassner's set designs are reminiscent of Ken Adam's work on several early Bond films. Taking a course away from the usual Bond villains, Forster rejected any grotesque appearance for the character Dominic Greene to emphasize the hidden and secret nature of the film's (and society's) modern day corporate villains.
