‘Quantum of Solace’ The Latest Photos
Here are some new ‘Quantum of Solace‘ photos, Daniel Craig, Olga Kurylenko, Gemma Arterton and Mathieu Amalric on the set.
They’ve been to Panama and Baja California, Mexico, with plans to shift next to Italy and Austria before returning to London’s famed Pinewood Studios for more stage shooting.
Director Marc Forster says setting the climax in the wasteland of Chile’s Atacama Desert fuses the plot with the internal life of Bond.”I chose the desert because it’s isolated, you feel lonely, and that’s what Bond is struggling with himself,” Forster says. “In the desert, it’s unforgivable. You’re out there, and you might die. “

Chilean Mayor Arrested After Driving a Vehicle at the Cast on the Set of the New James Bond Film
The mayor of a remote Chilean town has become the latest Bond villain after driving a vehicle at the cast on the set of the new James Bond (Quantum of Solace) film.Carlos Lopez made his unscripted appearance on the set of Quantum of Solace in a small saloon car, which he reportedly drove between Daniel Craig, the James Bond star, and the cameras before braking. Mr Lopez was protesting over his small town, Baquedano, being used for the filming.
Mr Lopez was arrested and briefly detained for what police called “causing public disorder”. It was claimed that he almost ran over two people at the town’s railway station as he sped onto the set.
He had been protesting at what he called an excessive police presence in Baquedano and objecting to Chilean soil being used as a stand in for neighbouring Bolivia.
Baquedano lies in a mining region around the city of Antofagasta in the far north of the country. It was forcibly annexed by Chile from Bolivia in the late 19th century - an issue that continues to divide the two countries.
In the film Bond only briefly visits Bolivia, but the decision by the producers to use locations in Chile to represent Bolivia has inflamed local tensions.
Chileans traditionally look down on the poorer Bolivians and there have been protests about the Bond crew using Bolivian flags and uniforms while filming on the streets of Antofagasta.

Sean Connery to play villain in ‘Quantum of Solace’?
As “Quantum of Solace” is well in the production, it is revealed that the former James Bond depicter Sean Connery has considered to return to the super-spy film franchise.
According to press release, the seven time Bond star won’t be reprising his notable role, instead he is eyeing to be the bad guy.
“I wouldn’t mind coming back as a Bond villain. But I don’t think they would pay me enough. They don’t pay the money for other parts, only for the Bond character, although that wasn’t the case when I was doing it,” Connery said.
The 77-year-old Academy Award-winning actor has been involved in negotiations to land a villain role with the film’s producers since Daniel Craig has been tapped to bring the Ian Fleming’s agent back to the big screen with “Casino Royale”.
Connery has portrayed Bond in seven of the super-spy agent films in the period of 1962 to 1983. During those time, he has appeared in “Dr No”, “From Russia With Love”, “Goldfinger”, “Thunderball”, “You Only Live Twice”, “Diamonds Are Forever” and “Never Say Never Again”.
As the actor who has played Bond, Connery praises Craig as well as the last film saying, “I think Daniel Craig is a terrific choice. I think they’re going back to a more realistic type of Bond movie as I don’t think they could have gone much further with the special effects.”

‘Quantum of Solace’ Goes 4K Resolution
“Quantum of Solace“, the 22nd film in the James Bond franchise will feature a complex visual effects shot captured digitally in 4K resolution, which offers four times the amount of picture information typically captured by most digital cinematography cameras.
The shot for the Marc Forster-helmed title is being lensed using eight shutter synchronized 4K Origin cameras from Dalsa, one of only two companies now shipping 4K digital cinematography cameras. Specifics are being kept under wraps, but the shot will feature Daniel Craig in his role as James Bond and Olga Kurylenko as the film’s lead Bond girl, Camille.
Director of photography Roberto Schaefer and consulting visual effects cinematographer David Stump collaborated on the shot.
The Dalsa Origin was the only uncompressed, high-resolution, low-noise camera system we could count on to do what we needed to do,
visual effects designer Kevin Tod Haug said.
Added Stump:
Working with uncompressed 4K gave us the ability to mine the maximum amount of detail from the scene.
Dalsa shipped the camera packages from Los Angeles to Movietech Camera Rentals at Pinewood Studios in the U.K., where both companies prepped the cameras, which recorded 4K data to eight Codex digital disk recorders. In total, more than 3.8GB of image data were recorded every second, Dalsa Digital Cinema president Rob Hummel said. The Codex disk packs were delivered to Sohonet in London for backup, after which the files were delivered to London-based visual effects house Double Negative.
Stump said:
For the effects to keep pace with audience expectations, we need to keep upping the ante
“Solace” is scheduled for release Oct. 31 in the U.K. and Nov. 7 in the U.S.
