MOVIE | Quantum of Solace

Everyone that knows me knows that I am a huge James Bond fan…  I take pride in being the only person I know to have actually watched every Bond movie made with my favorite Bond being played by Sean Connery then Pierce.  It was a sad day when I found that Pierce decided to hang up his Walter PPK and pass on his “double O” status to Daniel Craig.  I was hesitant to accept such a drastic change in the look of the new Bond but Daniel did an amazing job in Casino Royale that I soon forget the aversion I had about the new Bond.

I can’t wait to watch the new 007 movie that picks up an hour after the end of Casino Royale because most of this movie was filmed in Panama and I’m curious to see if I can recognize any of the places that the movie was shot at.

“Solace resolves around the adventures of Bond in a manipulative and dangerous mission of uncovering the truth behind the organization which blackmailed his former lover, Vesper Lynd, while fighting the urge to avenge his broken heart. In a mission that brings him almost around the world from Austria to South America, he will meet Camille, a Russian-Bolivian agent who challenges as well as helps him come to terms with the emotional consequences of Vesper’s betrayal.”

Since I am a movie trivia buff… I have included a little bit of trivia for QoS…

Originally Amy Winehouse was scheduled to work on the theme song for the next James Bond film QUANTUM OF SOLACE but, well, that didn’t really work out since she is a crackhead. So the producers went a completely different route and instead hired Alicia Keys and Jack White (of The White Stripes) to instead deliver the tune. Titled “Another Way To Die,” the song was written by White (who also plays drums on the track) with Keys providing the vocals.
