Quantum Of Solace Director Hated The Title Too!
You probably remember your exact reaction when you heard the title of the latest James Bond movie: Huh? Quantum of Solace isn’t exactly the simplest title, or the easiest to understand– it’s no Octopussy, that’s for sure. But who would have guessed the movie’s director felt exactly the way you did?
“I was like, ‘Quantum of Solace, what’s that about?'” Marc Forster told a group of journalists in New York today. He said the movie’s producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson brought the title to him, and it never came from the screenwriter Paul Haggis. Mentioning its origins in an original Ian Fleming short story, Forster explained, “It’s one of the last few titles left. There are only two more after that that Fleming ever used.”
Ever the diplomat, though, Forster said he eventually came around to the title. “At the beginning it took me a little while to get used to it. But it kind of grew on me.”
Quantum of Solace will be released in the U.S. on Nov. 14. Check back here that week for more from Forster as well as the latest Bond girl, Olga Kurylenko.
