Behind the Scenes on 007 the Quantum of Solace
Posted by Adam Barenblat at 11:00 AM on August 23, 2008
James Bond 22 the Quantum of Solace is coming! It's the first original Bond film starring Daniel Craig and no 007 would be complete without his game counter part. In these videos we see how TreyArch visited the movie sets as well as how they were able to capture the likenesses of all the actors. More videos after the jump.

@Aname: That was funny the first time someone posted it. People need to stop posting it in every Quantum of Solace article on Kotaku.

I cannot wait for the movie as it's going to be a return to the typical Bond movie formula. Royale was good, but he fell in love and it really wasn't typical Bond, but by no means a bad movie. However, I am still bothered by the fact that Quantum of Solace is not grammatically correct.

@Ad-hominem: Amusingly enough, its the name of an actual Ian Flemming short story. Unfortunately, it was the single most boring Bond story ever written, and actually only featured Bond as part of a framing story. The entire narrative is set up as a conversation held over a game of bridge between Bond and a British diplomat in Jamaica. A story about a diplomat's (implied to be the one Bond is playing with) wife cheating on him, with the moral of the story being that to maintain a relationship there has to be at least some small shred of forgiveness/comfort/humanity/whatever afforded to the other party- the "quantum of solace".
However, the story title does have the advantage of never being used by anyone yet because of how weird it sounds.

@DukeOfPwn: Well excuuse me. I apologise, hadn't seen it before myself, didn't know it'd been posted here. I think the word "Pwn" was funny at some point too, ya miserable git :)

Poor guys. No matter how good it is, it's going to be saddled with the name "Quantam of Solace", possibly the worst name for anything, ever, since "Dick Butkus' Football Coach Simulator"

@Aname: I hope that's not what the movie is about...or it would be one boring bond movie.

Turns out, there's actually a sizeable group of people on Youtube posting their Quantum of Solace theme songs. Pretty amazing stuff.

Does the game look good, yeah it does, but it's going to be a hard sell, and unless my wife wants it (which she may) I probably won't pick it up until it's $40 or so.
Biggest problem is that it's being released 'around' Socom, LBP, R2.
