Background
The 22nd James Bond film QUANTUM OF SOLACE is coming to UK cinemas on October 31st. It continues the high octane adventures of James Bond (DANIEL CRAIG) in CASINO ROYALE which premiered on 14 November 2006, and grossed a total of US$594 million, which makes the film the highest grossing Bond film.
Daniel Craig, who turned 40 this year, has now signed a five-film Bond deal. Quantum of Solace is the sequel to Casino Royale where Bond seeks revenge for the death of Vesper Lynd.
Betrayed by Vesper, the woman he loved, 007 fights the urge to make his latest mission personal. Pursuing his determination to uncover the truth, Bond and M (JUDI DENCH) interrogate Mr White (JESPER CHRISTENSEN) who reveals the organisation which blackmailed Vesper is far more complex and dangerous than anyone had imagined.
Forensic intelligence links an Mi6 traitor to a bank account in Haiti where a case of mistaken identity introduces Bond to the beautiful but feisty Camille (OLGA KURYLENKO), a woman who has her own vendetta. Camille leads Bond straight to Dominic Greene (MATHIEU AMALRIC), a ruthless business man and major force within the mysterious organisation.
On a mission that leads him to Austria, Italy and South America, Bond discovers that Greene is conspiring to take total control of one of the world”s most important natural resources
In a minefield of treachery, murder and deceit, Bond allies with old friends in a battle to uncover the truth. As he gets closer to finding the man responsible for the betrayal of Vesper, 007 must keep one step ahead of the CIA, the terrorists and even M, to unravel Greene’s sinister plan and stop his organisation.
