What Of What?

Bond is back — and he has an awful title.

Producers have revealed the title, Quantum of Solace, and some of the information about the latest secret agent film, due out later this year.

The title was chosen only a few days ago, was taken from a story by Bond creator Ian Fleming that appears in the collection "For Your Eyes Only." Craig said Fleming defined a quantum of solace — it means, roughly, a measure of comfort — as "that spark of niceness in a relationship that if you don't have, you might as well give up." Nothing says "good title" more than an explanation as to why it was chosen and what it means.

The film is a direct sequel to Casino Royale, beginning an hour after that film ends, with Bond devastated by his betrayal by true love Vesper Lynd. "He had his heart broken at the end of the last movie and that certainly is a spur for him in this one," Craig said. "I'd be lying if I said there wasn't revenge in his heart. But it's more than that. That spurs him on, but that's not what the movie is. It's not a revenge movie. It's about him figuring a few things out."

Will Bond find a quantum of solace? And will that interfere with him stopping a shadowy cabal attempting to bring down the world's economy. Perhaps if he tells the villains the name of the movie they'll be so perplexed that he'll gain the upper hand.
