London - New James Bond film Quantum of
Solace sees the British super spy out for revenge on a mission
that takes him to Austria, Italy and South America.
British actor Daniel Craig, the first blonde Bond, reprises
his role as 007, after critics and cinema-goers hailed his
debut.
First details of the 22nd instalment in the Bond franchise
were unveiled on Thursday at Pinewood Studios outside London.
According to the synopsis, Bond girl Camille, played by
Ukrainian-born Olga Kurylenko, leads the secret agent to Dominic
Greene, member of a mysterious organisation and a ruthless
businessman, seeking to control huge natural resources.
Greene is played by Frenchman Mathieu Amalric, who starred
in the Oscar-nominated The Diving Bell and the Butterfly.
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.
Revenge
"James Bond is after revenge, and Camille is after revenge ?
They have slightly different goals, but in the end they are
going to have to collaborate," Kurylenko told reporters.
On a tour of the main Bond set at Pinewood, journalists were
shown 3 stages, all of them set in the Italian city of Siena.
In the largest, two actors including Craig's stunt double,
swung from ropes and fought in an old art gallery.
Quantum of Solace is due for release in theatres on
November 7 this year.
