Quantum of Solace (
2008) is the 22nd
James Bond film by
EON Productions and is the direct
sequel to the 2006 film
Casino Royale. Directed by
Marc Forster, it features
Daniel Craig's second performance as
James Bond. In the film, Bond battles
Dominic Greene (
Mathieu Amalric), a member of the
Quantum organisation posing as an
environmentalist who intends to stage a
coup d'état in
Bolivia to take control of its water supply. Bond seeks revenge for the death of his lover,
Vesper Lynd (
Eva Green), and is assisted by
Camille Montes (
Olga Kurylenko), who is also seeking revenge.
Producer
Michael G. Wilson developed the film's plot while
Casino Royale was being shot.
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 watched at
Pinewood Studios. Forster aimed to make a modern film that also featured classic cinema motifs: a vintage 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 emphasise the hidden and secret nature of the film's contemporary villains.
