Producers of the forthcoming James Bond flick have confirmed that the next installment of the action
franchise, long
referred to simply as Bond 22, has at long last settled on the title Quantum of Solace. The name was taken from For Your Eyes Only, a collection of short stories published by superspy creator Ian Fleming in 1960. The title, as well as a few new plot details, was unveiled during a press conference at England''s Pinewood Studios Thursday, where the Daniel Craig-starring film began filming earlier this month. Production on the eagerly anticipated flick kicked off last November. While the film''s
producers said they had only settled on the title a few days ago, rumors had been circulating that the slightly bewildering—and, per an already large contingent of the
franchise''s fans, underwhelming—title would be the final one after Sony quietly purchased the domain name www.quantumofsolace.com. Disappointed fans may find their own small quantums of solace, as it were, in other ultimately cast-aside title possibilities: The only unused titles remaining from For Your Eyes Only were Risico and The Hildebrand Rarity.
