James Bond 007: Quantum of Solace
A Quantum of Solace (original title: Quantum of Solace ) is a British - American agent thriller of the production company Eon and the 22nd film from the James Bond film series. The world premiere took place in London on October 29, 2008, in German-speaking countries it opened in cinemas on November 6. The final shooting fell on June 21, 2008.
The title was based on the short story A Minimum of Consolation from Ian Fleming's anthology 007 James Bond intervenes (original title: For Your Eyes Only) , which, like the film, is called Quantum of Solace in the original . In terms of content, however, the film is not based on this story.
action
The action immediately follows on from Casino Royale . The film begins with an action-packed chase on the west bank of Lake Garda . British secret agent James Bond is pursued in his Aston Martin by two Alfa Romeos from which he is shot. He escapes them in the marble quarries of Carrara and then drives through a gate into a building in Siena . There you can see that he had Mr. White in his trunk - a member of a secret organization unknown even to MI6 . He is to be interrogated by M, the head of MI6, in Siena, where the Palio , a horse race , is currently taking place.
In a basement room in Siena's old town, M and Bond have a conversation in which they show him a photo of Vespers (the Bond girl from Casino Royale who wanted to marry, Vesper betrayed him and in the end took his own life) friend who faked his death so the MI6 would stop looking for him. M suggests that Bond intends to hunt him down to avenge Vesper's death. Together they interrogate White, who just pokes fun at them and brags that his organization has people everywhere. Ms bodyguard Mitchell then pulls his gun, first shoots another bodyguard, then shoots both Bond and M and then flees. Bond pursues him through the crowd of the imminent horse race and eventually kills him in a church that is being renovated. When Bond returns to the place of interrogation, White has fled, and M has also escaped to safety.
M survives and then meets Bond at her treasonous bodyguard's apartment in London looking for clues about the organization Mitchell worked for. By tracing registered money, MI6 finds another member of the secret organization who has checked into a hotel in Haiti and has a lead that Bond can follow.
Bond travels to Haiti and breaks into a supposedly empty hotel room. But he is attacked by the man present in the next room and kills him after a short violent fight without being able to interrogate him. At the reception he pretends to be the hotel guest and thus comes into possession of a suitcase that was handed in for the victim. When Bond leaves the hotel and takes to the street, a car stops and the driver, Camille, tells him to get in because she thinks he is an informant. Bond decides to play along and gets in. A short time later, the two are followed by a man on a motorcycle. Bond opens the case, which contains a gun and a picture of Camille. When Camille realizes that the owner of the suitcase is a hit man, she tries to shoot Bond because she thinks he is the killer. He manages to fend off the attempt to kill, and he falls out of the car as she drives away. Bond forcibly takes the pursuer's motorcycle and now follows Camille to a boat harbor.
In the harbor building, Camille meets her lover Dominic Greene, whom she confronts about the murder assignment he has planned for her. Greene doesn't know at this point that Camille is a Bolivian agent, but has noticed that she has been spying on him and is basically just out to avenge her family, who were killed by General Medrano. Greene tries to install the general as head of state of Bolivia. In return, Greene demands a seemingly worthless piece of desert. Camille is said to be left to the general as the "sweet rounding off" of the business, which only accommodates her plans for revenge, since she sees the possibility of being alone with the general. Bond, who has observed the scene and assumes that Camille is in danger, pursues the general with a motorboat, rams it and escapes with Camille, who initially defends herself and loses her gun. After a wild chase on water, he hands over the meanwhile unconscious Camille to a bellboy and has Greene checked by MI6 . He is now on a plane to Bregenz with Gregg Beam, the head of the South America section of the CIA , and his colleague Felix Leiter. Beam wants to support Greene because he calculates oil reserves for the USA.
Bond locates Greene in Bregenz and overhears a hidden meeting during a Tosca performance at the Bregenz Festival . This allows him to expose several members and allies of the secret organization, including Mr. White, who is not discovered by Bond. In addition, Bond now learns the name of the secret organization for the first time when one of the members asks whether the name "Tierra Project" (the name of Greene's environmental project, which he runs for camouflage) should be replaced by the name "Quantum". There is a shooting with Greene's bodyguards in the kitchen of the festival theater. Bond drops the bodyguard of the prime minister's special envoy, assuming he works for Quantum, from a roof. He falls on Greene's car and is shot by one of Greene's bodyguards. This, in turn, makes M difficult to explain because she assumes that Bond shot the man. She's calling him back to London. Since he doesn't follow her instructions, she blocks his accounts, credit cards and passports. So Bond decides to lure MI6 on the wrong track to Cairo and to seek help from René Mathis in Talamone , who seemed to have betrayed him in Casino Royale . Mathis realizes that Bond still thinks a lot about Vespers, and especially her death, and claims that she died only for him.
Bond manages to persuade Mathis to travel with him to Bolivia, where they are received by Strawberry Fields, an employee of the British consulate who is supposed to send him back to England. Bond lets his charms play and seduces Fields in the hotel bed to get her on his side. When the two of them later attend a benefit event by Greene, they meet Greene and Camille again. Mathis is also present, as well as Beam and Head. After a verbal exchange of blows with Greene, Bond leaves the party with Camille, who is supposed to show him Greene's project, which is supposed to help save the environment. A short time later, they are stopped by two motorcycle police officers. The police ask Bond to open the trunk of his car, in which, to Bond's surprise, the seriously injured Mathis is. When Bond lifts it out of the trunk on the orders of the police officers, Mathis moves and the police officers open fire. Bond then overpowers the police; However, Mathis dies in Bond's arms and asks him to forgive him and Vesper as well.
Bond and Camille get an old Douglas DC-3 and fly over the desert where Greene's environmental project is said to be located. However, they are pursued and shot at by a fighter plane and a helicopter. Through daring flight maneuvers, Bond pushes the other aircraft away so that it crashes against a rock. Shortly before the DC-3 crashes, Bond and Camille can parachute out of the plane. They end up unharmed in a cave where Bond learns from Camille that Medrano has wiped out her family. By chance they discover one of the huge underground water resources Greene has in the desert. Greene's plan becomes obvious: he caused a drought with dams and now wants to sell the underground water supplies to the government at high prices on behalf of his organization.
Bond and Camille return to the hotel where Bond and Fields checked in earlier. M and some MI6 agents are waiting for Bond because the minister believes Bond is running amok. He sees the dead, in oil drowned Fields lying on the hotel bed and is now to be suspended by M. However, he refuses, disarms the agents who are supposed to stop him and flees with Camille, who is waiting in front of the hotel.
Bond contacts Felix Leiter, who reveals that Greene and Medrano plan to meet at a hotel in the desert to seal their plans. At the same time, Head Bond warns that the CIA wants to stop him, as they are also interested in Greene's planned change of power in Bolivia.
Camille sees another chance to get revenge on Medrano and accompanies Bond into the desert. Bond reveals to her that he knows about her true identity as a Bolivian agent. The two break into the hotel as Greene is having the contracts signed. Medrano withdraws to his suite and is about to rape a waitress when Camille walks in. At the same time, Bond starts a shootout with the guards after shooting Police Chief Carlos in the head with a reference to Mathis. The shooting starts a fire that explodes several hydrogen tanks. While Bond is fighting Greene, Medrano's hotel room also catches fire, and Camille manages to shoot Medrano after a scuffle. However, she is so disturbed by the fire in which her family perished before her eyes that she cannot escape alone. Bond can help her out of the destroyed hotel in time and catch up with the fleeing Greene. After interrogating Greene to Quantum, Bond exposes him with a can of motor oil as the only "drink" in the middle of the desert.
In the final scene in Russia , Bond meets treacherous friend Vespers, who is already in a relationship with another secret agent, this time a Canadian secret agent. He warns them and leaves their friend to the Secret Service. M lifts his suspension, whereupon he reacts as if he has never been suspended. We also learn that the CIA has deposed Gregg Beam and instead promoted Felix Leiter to head of the South America department. M reports that Greene was found in the desert with two headshots and engine oil in his stomach.
The film ends with Bond throwing Vesper's necklace into the snow behind him, which suggests that the story of “Vesper” has finally come to an end. The future of the Quantum organization remains open.
occupation
After Casino Royale , Quantum of Solace is the second Bond film with the British actor Daniel Craig in the role of James Bond . Says screenwriter Paul Haggis : "Bond will be the same guy you met at Casino Royale , a very human and flawed hit man, a man who finds his way in a morally complex and often cynical world while trying to to remain true to his conviction of good and bad. "
Mathieu Amalric plays Bond's opponent Dominic Greene . He poses as an environmentalist and plant lover and runs a charitable organization.
Olga Kurylenko plays the Bond girl Camille , a Russian-Bolivian agent. "At first she will be an opponent of Bond, but they have to work together," said the actress. “We'll see if she can be trusted.” Kurylenko, who doesn't like stunts , spent three weeks training in weapon handling and combat. She overcame her fears because of the good working relationship with Craig.
Gemma Arterton embodies Strawberry Fields from the British Consulate in Bolivia, where she “sorts folders” according to M. She is supposed to make sure that Bond travels back to England, but lets herself into an affair with him. Her death pays homage to the Bond film Goldfinger, in which a corpse wrapped in gold dust is found in a similar pose on a bed. In keeping with the theme, Fields was bathed in oil (colloquially “black gold”).
Judi Dench embodies M , Bond's boss at MI6 for the sixth time .
Jeffrey Wright and Giancarlo Giannini repeat their roles from Casino Royale as Felix Leiter , Bond's friend with the American secret service CIA, and René Mathis , French double agent .
Joaquín Cosío was cast in the role of General Medrano as a Latin American military leader. Jesper Christensen also repeats his supporting role from Casino Royale as Mr. White . Elvis , helper and cousin of Dominic Greene, is played by the Swiss Anatole Taubman . He thus joins a long line of German-speaking opponents and henchmen in the James Bond films, to which Gert Fröbe and Curd Jürgens belong , among others . After Ursula Andress and Carlos Leal, he is the third Swiss citizen to play a role in a Bond film. In the film, he was even allowed to speak two sentences in Swiss German . Charlie Chaplin's granddaughter Oona Castilla Chaplin plays a hotel receptionist.
production
Pre-production
In June 2007, the production company Eon decided to hire Swiss-German Marc Forster to direct the film. Forster was surprised by the nomination because he was never a big Bond fan. Nor would he have accepted the task before seeing Casino Royale . Forster is the first Bond director not to come from a Commonwealth of Nations.
Neal Purvis and Robert Wade wrote the original script for the film. Paul Haggis later largely rewrote the script with the help of Michael G. Wilson and Marc Forster . It was finished just before the Hollywood writers' strike .
The Dutch actor Thom Hoffman was originally cast for the role of Dominic Greene. After he misinterpreted the role according to the producer, he was replaced by the French actor Mathieu Amalric .
Choice of title
Producer Wilson only set the title for the film shortly before the official press conference on January 24, 2008. It is the name of a short story from Ian Fleming's short story collection 007 James Bond intervenes . The short story bears the German title A Minimum of Consolation . In June 2008, however, the official German title was announced as Ein Quantum Trost , so that the reference to the organization "Quantum" is not lost in the film.
Filming
Filming for the film began in August 2007 at the annual Palio di Siena , a horse race in Siena , Italy. The pictures would later become part of the film. Protests have already been raised over the brutal practices there. So it is allowed to whip the opposing horse or to throw the jockey off the horse.
The crew encountered similar problems in April 2008 while filming in Chile . The Bolivian government wanted to avoid portraying its country as the home of drug traffickers and wrote a letter of protest to the producers.
Main filming was scheduled to begin on December 10, 2007, but was postponed to January 3, 2008.
Filming in Panama City began on February 7, 2008 at Howard Air Force Base . The area depicts Bolivia in the film, with the Instituto Nacional de Cultura de Panamá as a grand hotel. A sequence with several hundred extras was filmed in Colón . The crew was supposed to travel to Cusco in Peru for ten days , but because of the bad weather forecast it was not possible to film there. Then it was shot in Chile : in Antofagasta , Cobija , in the Paranal observatory and in the desert of Atacama . Forster chose the desert and the observatory's ESO Hotel to portray Bond's stiff emotions.
On April 1, 2008, while the film was being made in Chile, the mayor of a small Chilean town, Carlos Lopez (who had been suspended from his position five months earlier) drove his car to the location. He was furious because Antofagasta should be portrayed as belonging to Bolivia, which the port city in northern Chile was until the Saltpeter War . He said governments could also misuse such references in films for political purposes. In addition, Lopez was upset about the excessive security measures at the location. He is reminded of the dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet . Lopez was temporarily arrested.
Wilson stated that Bolivia was suitable for history because of its past water problems. But he was astonished at the still deep-seated wounds left by the saltpeter war.
From April 4 to April 12, 2008, the film was shot over the roofs of Siena , with four large camera cranes having to be installed. The city is said to have received one million euros for the filming and the 300 extras required. Afterwards , a chase was filmed on the Gardesana Occidentale , the coastal road on the western shore of Lake Garda . The shooting was extremely dangerous and arduous. Constant rain forced the crew to film almost exclusively in the Gargnano and Malcesine tunnels. A total of seven Aston Martins were used for the recordings. On April 19, an employee of the manufacturer drove an Aston Martin DBS on the way to the location in Lake Garda for unexplained reasons. The driver was uninjured and was able to escape from the already flooded car, but the car was ready for scrap. The stunt double for Daniel Craig was Martin Ivanov , a Bulgarian judoka . Two days later, two other stunt people were seriously injured when they hit a wall. The locations that were cut here one after the other (Lake Garda, Carrara and Siena) are actually 300 kilometers apart.
On the lake stage in Bregenz , Austria , against the backdrop of the Tosca Opera , the film was shot from April 29th to May 9th. 1500 extras were selected for the scene at the beginning of 2008, and 5200 people had applied for a role. In contrast to what is shown in the film, the city of Bregenz does not have its own airport. This scene was filmed at Farnborough Airport (UK). The drive through Bregenz is actually the old town of Feldkirch . The film was also shot on the Hohentwiel bottom steamer .
At the end of the shooting in Europe, the crew returned to Siena. Then some scenes were filmed at Pinewood Studios in England .
Dennis Gassner , who already worked with Daniel Craig on the films Road to Perdition and Der Goldene Kompass , worked as production designer, replacing Peter Lamont , who had worked on the film series since Goldfinger .
Quantum of Solace is the shortest of all Bond films with a length of 106 minutes. The plot of the film is directly linked to its predecessor ( Casino Royale from 2006), which is only the second time in the history of the James Bond series since Diamond Fever in 1971 after 37 years .

Reviews
The film was met with divided opinions at the time of its release.
Filmstarts.de gives 8/10 points and praises the film for its unconventional design: “ James Bond 007 - A quantum of consolation is state of the art up to the limit of pain. Anyone who gets involved in this new 007 will be rewarded with an imposing action-adventure inferno that doesn't care about the past and firmly anchors Bond in the modern age. Daniel Craig inspires as a primitive berserk who gets caught between all fronts and runs amok. Marc Forster stages A Quantum of Solace as non-stop action, compressed to 103 breathless minutes. A film that is as grim as it is great. "
Cinema magazine wrote, “This Bond has a mission, but he also has trauma - and that combination makes him more exciting than ever. The only caveat: Mathieu Amalric can not really replace a sardonic villain like Le Chiffre Mads Mikkelsen. But the lines between good and bad blur in the last third anyway, and Bond has to find his way in a world in which morality is only a question of money. Quantum of Solace is among the best of any 007 film, and the ending suggests what the final installment of a possible trilogy will be about. Conclusion: The second Craig Bond is also convincing: a tough agent adventure with great action and visual dynamics. "
In the FAZ, however, the film is criticized: James Bond was “just an action hero like everyone else in 2008”, the film was “a decent action film with no added value”.
The Südwest Presse headlines “Tight, fast, not the big Bond spectacle” and asks “How far can a legendary film character be stripped of its own mythology? Apparently comprehensive. The new Bond film "Quantum of Solace" is a tight, solid action thriller. Nothing more, nothing less. ”The furnishings appear“ stylized ”and the boundaries between the highly energetic and hectic and the confused cut are“ fluid ”. “The plot is rather simple”, “the role of the villain Greene is not good”, “his henchman Elvis has little to do”, “the Ukrainian Olga Kurylenko as Camille? One of the palest Bond women ever ”. "And otherwise? The title song is unbonding, the opening credits are poor, the Aston Martin soon dented. ”On the other hand, Craig received a positive assessment:“ Leading actor Daniel Craig, on the other hand, continues where he left off two years ago. His bond has tremendous tension and physical presence; icy surface under which it seething. "
The Telepolis concludes that the new Bond film no Bond film more ( "But is the stop for modernization. The" Playboy "is not a" Playboy "more, the SPD no SPD, and now it is with James Bond with Daniel Craig a bit similar. ”). Telepolis describes the style of the film as hectic and asks the question why one should watch the film at all (“Hustle and bustle, breathlessness, the impression that this Bond has time for nothing, absolutely nothing, outweighs everything. Over with the beautiful Agent life, no more fun. But wasn't this beautiful agent life the reason to even watch James Bond films? "). The director also overestimated his abilities ("" Quantum of Solace "belongs [...] to that group of films in which directors who overestimate themselves, just as their ability is grossly overestimated in public, are pleased with it, introduced one To completely redefine the figure or to ignore it - a case of narcissism rather than genius. ").
The lexicon of international films wrote: "The fast and virtuoso action film, despite its thoughtful undertones, does not achieve the emotional depth of its predecessor, but within the genre it offers perfect entertainment."
Peter Travers published his personal ranking of all (then 24) Bond films in Rolling Stone in 2012 , with A Quantum of Solace taking last place. Travers called the film a "fiasco". The plot is lost through the incoherent editing, director Marc Forster has "no sense for the representation of action", which is therefore "absurdly overcompensated".
marketing
Film revenue
With a production budget of $ 230 million, Quantum of Solace is one of the most expensive Bond films ever produced; its predecessor Casino Royale had a budget of around $ 150 million.
In the UK, the film grossed £ 4.9 million (≈ € 5.8 million) on the first day after its release, breaking the record-breaking Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire grossing £ 4.02 million (≈ € 4.8 million). On the first weekend he came to a box office income of 15.5 million pounds (≈18.4 million €) and took another 14.2 million pounds in France and Sweden. After three weeks, the film grossed over £ 40 million in the UK alone.
In the United States, Quantum of Solace debuted at number one in the box office, grossing $ 70 million, $ 30 million more than its predecessor Casino Royale .
In Germany, the film was seen by over 3 million visitors ten days after its premiere.
Worldwide took Quantum of Solace one to 13 March 2009, a total 575 million dollars at the box office.
Product placement
In Quantum of Solace much is product placement run so many times are bonds phone, a Sony Ericsson , as well as his watch, an Omega , shown in close-up. Furthermore, most of the cars that are driven by the actors are from the automaker Ford Motor Company or its subsidiaries, e.g. B. Ford (Ka and Edge, although the new Ka was only released in 2009 and was shown extensively for the first time in this film), Aston Martin (belonged to Ford until 2007), Land Rover , Jaguar (both belonged to Ford until 2008) as well as Volvo (part of Ford until March 2010) and Alfa Romeo (part of Fiat ). As in all Bond films, this time too, German arms manufacturers equipped James Bond. In the film u. a. the submachine gun HK UMP as well as the Walther PPK known from the earlier Bond films , although interestingly he still had a Walther P99 in Casino Royale . Sailing yachts from Hallberg-Rassy and the first class of the Virgin Atlantic are also shown in close-up shots.
computer game
At the same time as the film, Activision brought out a game for the film based on the Infinity Ward engine of the Call of Duty games. Electronic Arts had previously lost the James Bond license. A special feature of this computer game is that the action of Casino Royale is also intertwined as a flashback in several game levels.
music
As in the previous Bond films, David Arnold is responsible for the film music . He said he was happy that Forster was giving him enough time to work out the music because the schedule was much tighter at Casino Royale .
Alicia Keys and Jack White sing the iconographic theme song of this Bond film. Another Way to Die is the first duet in the history of Bond films.
Amy Winehouse was still in discussion for a long time for the title track . After some differences with her producer Mark Ronson, she also submitted several demo recordings . However, the large number of negative reports about the artist of her choice stood in the way from the start. Winehouse then announced that she would like to release her rejected song on the same day as Another Way to Die . With this she wants to prove what a big mistake the producers made in their choice, as she is aiming for a much higher chart position for her song. Obviously she didn't manage to do this, because at the time of the radio premiere of Another Way to Die there was no further information about the whereabouts of her theme song and her falling out with Ronson led her to work again with the producer of her debut, Salaam Remi , for new recordings .
The soundtrack was first released on CD in 2008 by J Records . It is noticeable here that the title song was only placed at the end. The booklet contains a foldable mini-poster of the main motif.
