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. “
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.
Bolivian militants clashed with Chilean border guards when filming began and a protest in a Chilean newspaper read: “Chile is Chile. We’re not Bolivian Indians. Imperialist British out.”
Mr Lopez said yesterday: “For a town that has just 1,000 residents, sending in special forces and water cannon, preventing people from walking in the street, reminded me of the worst of the Pinochet years.
I disagree with national territory being used as locations [to represent] other countries. Even in a fictional film, unfortunately, friendly, neighbouring countries use decisions like this to make unjustified claims.
A police official said the local prosecutor was considering whether to charge the mayor. “He got angry, entered into a private enclosure… caused public disorder and was detained,” he said.
A spokesman for Eon Productions, the London-based company making the film, said that Mr Lopez pulled up in his car between the camera and a vehicle in which Craig and his co-star, Olga Kurylenko, were sitting.
She said Mr Lopez almost ran over a policeman when he drove through the cordon that had been set up around the railway station, which is being used for filming. But she described the protest as “a small incident that took no more than five minutes to clear up”.
The spokesman, who claimed Mr Lopez was suspended from his post as mayor five months ago, denied that the producers had offered him compensation after he complained about not being consulted about filming. She insisted that permission was received before filming began.
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“, 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.
Daniel Craig has promised Bond fans that they will be impressed by the latest movie instalment.The actor, who plays the iconic superspy, claimed that the injuries he has suffered during filming act as perfect proof that the film will be worth watching.
”I can only gauge it by how much pain I’m in, and I think we’re doing pretty good,”
Craig revealed. “They’ve [the stunts] started to hurt.”
Craig also warned fans that they should not be put off by the movie’s unusual title, Quantum of Solace.
”I’m very happy with it. It encapsulates what the movie is at heart and a lot more which I can’t give away.”

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.
The UK release date for the 22nd James Bond adventure ‘Quantum Of Solace‘ will be October 31, five days earlier than previously expected.
Here we have some photos of Daniel Craig from shooting ‘Quantum of Solace’ in Panama.
