The new official title for the next adventure of 007 is now called Quantum of Solace, which was taken from a collection of short stories published by source author Ian Fleming back in 1960. While at a press conference for the new reveal, Sony and MGM gave reporters a minute of footage already shot, which included a highly explosive scene shot in Siena, Italy and another scene involving M (Judi Dench) in the snow.
Some more details were given for the plot and the new "Bond girl" Olga Kurylenko also filled the media in on her preparations and her character.
"James Bond is after revenge, and Camille is after revenge and they have slightly different goals, but in the end they are going to have to collaborate," Kurylenko said.
"I'm doing weapons training and body flight training for aerial scenes and stunt work for fighting," she said. "My days are so long, and it's very physical. She's a fighter. This girl is going to kick ass. She's on her own mission and she's driven by revenge."
Gemma Arterton, who's playing a fellow MI6 agent and has already shot her love scene, was also in attendance at the press conference where she said "I felt like a giggly girl, and I felt so young and inexperienced - but I kissed James Bond!" She went on to describe her character as fresh and young, not sultry and a femme fatale".
Official Plot: The new film sees 007 (Daniel Craig) out for revenge on a mission that takes him to Austria, Italy and South America. Bond girl Camille, played by Ukrainian-born Olga Kurylenko, leads the secret agent to Dominic Greene (Mathieu Amalric), member of a mysterious organization and a ruthless businessman, seeking to control huge natural resources. The plot follows on directly from Casino Royale, as Bond aims to uncover the truth about Vesper, the beauty who betrayed him, and discovers that she had been blackmailed.
Quantum of Solace will hit theaters on November 7, 2008.
