Quantum of Solace: Plot Details Emerge

Empire Online has just learned some important plot details for Bond 22, during the Sony launch of the new Bond film, Quantum of Solace.

The plot centres on an attempted coup in a South American country. Dominic Greene (Mathieu Amalric) wants to control one of the world's most important natural resources and to aid in this he makes a deal with an exiled South American general to get him back into power.

Olga Kurylenko's character, Camille, is half Ukrainian and half South American. She leads Bond to Greene in his effort to find out more about Vesper, the woman he loved and lost in Casino Royale.

Mathieu Amalric says his villain will not be a larger than life figure. He said "He's not an over the top villian...No scars, no metal jaw - he is nude". Epire believe he meant no visual odditties, rather than Bond's first all naked nemesis.

Quantum of Solace: Quantum of Solace

James Bond producers yesterday gave the first glimpse into the 22nd movie in the 007 franchise, promising twice as much action as in Casino Royale. The biggest news was the title: Quantum of Solace. It might have sounded all right with the prefix "Harry Potter and the..." but as the standalone title for a Bond movie it's not exactly Goldfinger. It is, though, the title of an Ian Fleming short story and was chosen only in the last few weeks to reflect the mood of the new movie, which is to be released in November.
