Title Of Next James Bond Film Revealed

'Quantum Of Solace' Due In November

Saturday, January 26, 2008: (London):

James Bond movie Quantum of Solace is about the spy's attempt to find the man who forced his love Vesper to betray him and prevent a coup in a Latin American country.

Bond, played by Daniel Craig, learns that the organisation behind Vesper is more powerful than he had imagined. A lead takes him to Haiti, where he meets the beautiful Camille, played by Olga Kurylenko, who also wants to exact revenge.

According to thesun.co.uk, Camille takes Bond to a ruthless businessman who is part of Vesper's organisation. As Bond flies to Austria, Italy and South America, he learns of a plot to overthrow a government and wants to prevent it.

James Bond movies have been some of my favorites as a kid growing up. I liked the high-tech gadgets, the 'Bond' girls, the villians, and the exotic locales. I eagerly looked forward to the next Bond film; usually, the title would be announced at the end-of-credits of the previous film.

I've always been a big fan of Sean Connery as Bond, grew attached to Pierce Brosnan, and overly skeptical of Daniel Craig (a blond haired, blue eyed Bond???). Needless to say, after watching Craig pull off Bond...James Bond in the 2006 version of Casino Royale, I'm a fan of the new Bond.

Where did Bond come from?

James Bond was born from the creative mind of Sir Ian Lancaster Fleming (May 28, 1908 – August 12, 1964),

a British author, journalist and Second World War Navy Commander. Fleming is best remembered for creating the character of James Bond and chronicling his adventures in twelve novels and nine short stories. Additionally, Fleming wrote the children's story Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and two non-fiction books.

Here's the Bond filmography:

Of note, these EON productions are commonly recognized as "official" James Bond films, whereas the 1954 television adaptation of Casino Royale, starring Barry Nelson;

the 1967 film Casino Royale starring David Niven as Bond, and Peter Sellers;

and Never Say Never Again (1983) starring Sean Connery, are regarded as "unofficial" because they were not produced by EON and do not form part of the main canon.
