Quantum of Solace 12 new Wallpapers

Quantum of Solace is the 22nd spy film in EON Productions’ James Bond film series, due for release in the United Kingdom on 31 October 2008 and in the United States on 7 November. It is the sequel to the 2006 film Casino Royale, which rebooted the series. It is directed by Marc Forster, and features Daniel Craig’s second performance as the fictional MI6 agent James Bond. Casino Royale’s Paul Haggis, Neal Purvis, and Robert Wade returned as writers, alongside newcomer Joshua Zetumer.

In the film, Bond battles Dominic Greene (Mathieu Amalric), a member of the Quantum organisation posing as an environmentalist, who intends to stage a coup d’état in Bolivia to take control of its water supply. Bond seeks revenge for the death of Vesper Lynd, and is assisted by Camille (Olga Kurylenko), who also wants to kill Greene. The title was chosen from an unrelated short story in Ian Fleming’s For Your Eyes Only (1960).

Producer Michael G. Wilson created the film’s story while Casino Royale was shooting. The film was originally scheduled for a 2 May 2008 release, but it was pushed back to allow more time when Roger Michell dropped out as director.

Second unit filming began in August 2007 at Siena and Madrid, before principal photography began in January 2008 at Pinewood Studios.

Production designer Dennis Gassner took over from Peter Lamont, who retired after working on eighteen Bond films. Gassner designed the five major Pinewood sets, which stand in for Siena, Bolivia, and the MI6 headquarters.

His designs are close to the modernism of Ken Adam, the first Bond production designer. Location filming will take place at Panama, Chile, Italy and Austria, before moving back to Pinewood in June.

There will be more gadgets than in Casino Royale, though they will still aim to be realistic.

Bangkok Dangerous 2008 Film

Bangkok Dangerous is a 2008 crime film written and directed by the Pang Brothers and starring Nicolas Cage. It is a remake of the Pangs’ 1999 debut film, Bangkok Dangerous, a Thai film for which Cage’s production company, Saturn Films, purchased the remake rights.

Known by its working title, Big Hit in Bangkok, and also as Time to Kill, it began filming in Bangkok in August 2006, with locations that include Soi Cowboy.

The film follows a hitman (Cage) who goes to Bangkok on assignment. The original film’s main character is a deaf-mute whose disability makes him a fearless, unflinching gunman. That character has been changed in the remake.

“We’d like to keep him the same, but we understand that from a marketing point of view Nic needs to have some lines,” Oxide was quoted as saying in the International Herald Tribune. “So what we’re going to do is transform his girlfriend instead into a deaf-mute. This switch will maintain the drama of communication between the two main characters.”

Cage’s character’s girlfriend is portrayed by Hong Kong actress Charlie Yeung, who prepared for her role by learning Thai dance and sign language. In addition, Cage’s character will have a local “errand boy” with whom he develops a bond. That role is portrayed by Thai film and television actor Chakrit Yamnam.

The production was disrupted by the 2006 Thailand coup d’état, with producers temporarily suspending filming. They had hoped to complete the Bangkok production work by October 2006, but it might delayed further. Cage remained in Bangkok, though he had a private jet readied to depart the country in case of any threat. Production was eventually completed in October 2006. The film is due for release in the United States on August 22, 2008.
