Craig was great, and if you haven't seen Layer Cake (another of his movies) go do that now.

I as well grew up on Brosnan and he's very good, though I like Roger Moore a bit better probably because of Golden Gun.

Bring back Pierce. Craig phails as Bond. They should've gone Hugh Jackman (Wolverine from X-Men movie)!

moore ftw. then dalton (no shooting me), brosnan, connery, lazenby, craig--in that order. He shouldn't have such blond ahir, and should know how to drive ffs!! you can't go around crashing an AM like that.

Funniest bit, IMO: (uses defibrillator) "Starlight required here!"

btw: bond should drive an R8. for kicks.

Maybe they'll change the name for the less intelligent moviegoers, as has happened in the past

I love the bond movies, everyone of them, with the exception of the latest. The first bond I remember watching was Dalton in License to Kill, from then on I've been a bond fan. If this new one is anything like Casino Royale, I think I'm going to have to pass though, I just couldn't seem to get into it(still haven't seen the whole thing). I'm not sure if it was having Craig as Bond or what, but it just didn't live up to the Bond name in my opinion.

Quantum of Solace



VER HEATH, England (AFP) — The next James Bond film will be called "Quantum of Solace", and it will dazzle fans of Agent 007 with even more action scenes than its high-grossing predecessor, its producers said Thursday.

The title of the movie, directed by Marc Forster and until now provisionally called "Bond 22", was revealed at Pinewood Studios in Iver Heath, west of London, where filming is already underway.

Its stars -- including Daniel Craig, reprising his role as the celebrated British secret agent after his 2006 debut in "Casino Royale" -- posed for photographers under the new film's title.

"Quantum of Solace" was the name of a short story in Bond creator Ian Fleming's 1960 anthology "For Your Eyes Only".

"It's uncharacteristic of most of Fleming's work," producer Michael G. Wilson said of the short story.

"It's a character study that doesn't involve plots or anything with spies. We thought it was an intriguing title that references what's happening to Bond and what's happening to him in this film."

An original Fleming title was "really important to us", he said, adding that it was chosen just a few days ago.

Craig said the title was "meant to confuse a little. It's meant to make you sort of wonder."

"We want people to start thinking as they come and see the film."

He added, though: "But that doesn't mean that it is going to be a character-driven kitchen sink drama. We're making a Bond movie."

According to Craig, "There were plenty of those suggestions (for the title) for things that would look good on the poster but the last film took Bond to a new place and this is meant to do the same again."

"Casino Royale" -- the most lucrative of all Bond films, clearing more than 300 million dollars (200 million euros) at the box office worldwide -- depicted Bond at the start of his career.

The story in the new film begins just an hour after the last one ends.

"It's not a revenge movie," Bond series producer Barbara Broccoli said. "It's much more complicated than that. There's much more action and it also deals with the inner turmoil of Bond following 'Casino Royale'."

Wilson said it was always a challenge to come up with new ideas for Bond, but having Craig in mind when writing the plotline had helped.

"We made a decision to make them more real in the last film and that gives us something to go on," he said.

"There's much more action in this film compared to the last film. There's probably twice as much action sequences. It's pretty much jam-packed. Marc has brought a lot of humanity to the characters, which makes it a very intriguing story to go with the action."

Broccoli said Craig seemed happy to do further turns as Agent 007 in future.

Craig caused a sensation when he was filmed emerging from the sea in tight blue swimming trunks in "Casino Royale".

Asked whether the scene would be repeated, Broccoli joked: "I wish! I am still trying."

Judi Dench, in her sixth outing as M, the boss of Britain's overseas intelligence agency MI6, said cinemagoers would see her in a stand-off with Bond and their relationship would be "pretty prickly".

The forthcoming movie stars Ukrainian model and actress Olga Kurylenko as the new Bond girl, French actor Mathieu Amalric as the main villain and British newcomer Gemma Arterton, 21, as a fellow agent.

"Quantum of Solace" is set to be released later this year.

At least Aston is back in British hands, it's one of the few motors that we can still be proud of.
