QUANTUM OF SOLACE (2008), the 22nd film in the official James Bond film series, opens in cinemas in South Africa on 19th November 2008. The film has its world premiere in France, Sweden and United Kingdom on October 31st.

The film continues the high octane adventures of James Bond (Daniel Craig) in Casino Royale (2006).

Betrayed by Vesper, the woman he loved, 007 fights the urge to make his latest mission personal. Pursuing his determination to uncover the truth, Bond and M (Judi Dench) interrogate Mr White (Jesper Christensen) who reveals the organisation which blackmailed Vesper is far more complex and dangerous than anyone had imagined.

Forensic intelligence links an Mi6 traitor to a bank account in Haiti where a case of mistaken identity introduces Bond to the beautiful but feisty Camille (Olga Kurylenko), a woman who has her own vendetta. Camille leads Bond straight to Dominic Greene (Mathieu Amalric), a ruthless business man and major force within the mysterious organisation.

On a mission that leads him to Austria, Italy and South America, Bond discovers that Greene, conspiring to take total control of one of the world’s most important natural resources, is forging a deal with the exiled General Medrano (Joaquin Cosio). Using his associates in the organisation, and manipulating his powerful contacts within the CIA and the British government, Greene promises to overthrow the existing regime in a Latin American country, giving the General control of the country in exchange for a seemingly barren piece of land.

In a minefield of treachery, murder and deceit, Bond allies with old friends in a battle to uncover the truth. As he gets closer to finding the man responsible for the betrayal of Vesper, 007 must keep one step ahead of the CIA, the terrorists and even M, to unravel Greene’s sinister plan and stop his organisation.

Editor's Note
FSWL founder Anders Frejdh was chosen as an extra for the film amongst 4,500 people that attended the casting in January 2008 in Bregenz, Austria. The Bregenz scenes were filmed during two weeks in April/May. Anders can be seen in the final film when James Bond (Daniel Craig) passes him as 007 chases one of the henchmen into a toilet at the opera in Bregenz.
