At a Glance

Daniel Craig returns as Ian Fleming's most famous creation in QUANTUM OF SOLACE, the first film in the James Bond series to follow directly on from the previous entry. Continuing where CASINO ROYALE concluded, QUANTUM OF SOLACE finds Bond on a perilous mission to uncover the truth behind the betrayal of his beloved Vesper, while keeping one step ahead of M (Judi Dench – MRS HENDERSON PRESENTS, SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE), the CIA and a shadowy organisation fronted by the diabolical Dominic Greene (Mathieu Amalric – THE DIVING BELL AND THE BUTTERFLY, MARIE ANTOINETTE). Felix Leiter (Jeffrey Wright – BASQUAIT, Oliver Stone's W) and the dubious Rene Mathis (Giancarlo Giannini – BLACK BELLY OF THE TARANTULA, SEVEN BEAUTIES) also return for this high octane sequel directed by internationally-renowned German filmmaker Marc Forster (THE KITE RUNNER, FINDING NEVERLAND). Though QUANTUM OF SOLACE takes its gritty and uncompromising lead from CASINO ROYALE, many of the series' hallmark ingredients are present, including a bevy of beautiful women which includes Gemma Arterton (ST. TRINIANS, ROCKNROLLA) and Olga Kurylenko (LE SERPENT, HITMAN), and a post-modern music score from series veteran David Arnold.

Detailed Information

Starting shortly after Casino Royale ends, Daniel Craig returns as James Bond, betrayed by the woman he loved and determined to find those responsible for her death.

His pursuit and determination lead him deeper into the criminal organization known as “Quantum” and into the company of Dominic Greene (Mathieu Amalric), an environmentalist using his wealth and power to help overthrow a government in exchange for a barren piece of desert land that will allow him to control the country’s water supply. Forced to work without the help of MI6, Bond partners with Camille (Olga Kurylenko), a young woman on her own quest for justice, and together they travel across the globe in order to stop Greene and seek retribution.
