"Quantum of Solace" is the new Bond 22 title and photocall in London

After completing the cast of the new Bond 22 movie, they released the new title for the bond film "Quantum of Solace".

Daniel Craig and Bond Girls Olga Kurylenko and Gemma Arterton are at 22nd James Bond film Quantum of Solace photocall at London’s Pinewood Studios.

The said title is from one of the short stories created by Ian Fleming in the 60's. Daniel Craig will return as James Bond and Olga Kurylenko is the new Bond girl.

Michael Wilson said Quantum of Solace will have “twice as much action” as 2006’s Casino Royale.

'Quantum' Origins

I was a little perplexed by the title at first glance and did a little research into the origins of each word. Initially, the word 'quantum' brought to mind a scientific definition, thinking of 'quantum physics'. However, looking up its Latin root, 'quantum' actually comes from the Latin 'quantus' which translates to 'how much'. In this regard, 'quantum' in Bond 22's title could be replaced with the word 'time'.

'Solace' Origins

Solace, on the other hand, comes from the Latin 'solacium,' which means "Comfort in sorrow, misfortune, or distress; consolation."

Which fits Bond's current situation PERFECTLY!

Having just lost the love of his life, Vesper Lynd, Bond must heal. A Time Of Comfort, A Time Of Consolation is the next logical step in Bond's relationship time line.
