Daniel Craig has revealed that he was behind choosing the title QUANTUM OF SOLACE for the new James Bond movie. Apparently he rejected several ‘grisly’ options before settling on the name which came from a short story by Bond creator Ian Flemming:
“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.”
Craig also admitted that like most of the other Bond movies, the title is meaningless. “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.” Something else that don’t make sense: sixty years after Chernobyl and Hiroshima, and still not so much as a giant sea monster.
