Blame Quantum Of Solace Title On Daniel Craig
The title of the upcoming James Bond film, “Quantum of Solace”, sounds like nonsense. Sure, it’s based off a short story title from Ian Fleming’s Bond adventures, but that story has nothing to do with this story. Now Daniel Craig is saying “Solace” was his choice and better than anything violent sounding.
“I was involved in making the decision. Names were coming out, some ludicrous stuff was going back and forth – I can’t remember exactly, but you know the sort of thing: ‘The Blood On Your Face’… I knew I didn’t want ‘death’, ‘die’, ‘bleed’ or any of those things in the title.”
“As soon as it came out, people were saying, ‘Ooh, it sounds like Harry Potter’. No, it’s Quantum of Solace. I was saying, ‘It’s a Bond title! The name of a Bond film is not about anything. Live And Let Die? Octopussy? What does it mean? It means very little.”
The whole thing reminded me again of this funny little video which pokes at the oddly named film: “The Suantum of Quolace. Did I get it mixed up?”

I think Wall Street needs a Quantum of Solace.

BOND 22 Film Title
« Thread Started on Sept 29, 2007, 4:45pm»
________________________________________
With RISICO, QUANTUM OF SOLACE, and
THE PROPERTY OF A LADY the only Ian Fleming James Bond (short) story titles unused by
EON Productions, in what will be their 46-year film series when BOND 22 is finally released in November 2008, it makes me wonder what the odds are that the filmmakers will use one of these three titles or invent one of their own.
With hackneyed titles in the past like Licence
To Kill, Tomorrow Never Dies, and Die Another Day, I hope that after the enormous success
of Casino Royale the filmmakers will return to Fleming and use QUANTUM OF SOLACE.
It seems to me that this is just about all that Bond will have when he’s tracked down and killed the bad guys that form Ellipsis and who
he no doubt sees as ultimately responsible for Vesper Lynd’s death.
