Quantum of Solace est la 22e aventure cinématographique de James Bond. Le film est réalisé par Marc Forster. Le titre a été révélé le 24 janvier 2008 lors d'une conférence de presse aux studios Pinewood. Il reprend le nom d'une des nouvelles composant le recueil de Ian Fleming Rien que pour vos yeux. Bien que le titre français de la nouvelle soit Chaleur humaine, le titre du film restera Quantum of Solace pour la sortie en France[1], tandis qu'au Québec le titre sera 007 Quantum.



Daniel Craig revêt à nouveau le costume de l'agent secret après sa première interprétation dans Casino Royale. Judi Dench (M), Giancarlo Giannini (René Mathis) et Jeffrey Wright (Felix Leiter) sont également de retour.



L'action débute 1 heure après les événements de Casino Royale. Le film est sorti le 31 octobre 2008 en France, tandis qu'au Québec, ce sera le 14 novembre 2008.

Since the title of the 22nd Bond Film was disclosed on January 24, Bond fans across the world have struggled to understand what it means and how it will play into the film. According to producer Michael G. Wilson, a quantum of solace is essentially a measure of comfort. “I think it’s very appropriate for this film because based on what happened to the character of James Bond in the last film, Casino Royale, he needs a quantum of solace, considering his mental state,” said Wilson.



When we last saw 007, he had shut himself off emotionally following the betrayal of his first true love, Vesper Lynd. His last words about here were “the bitch is dead,” which is not something someone who has come to terms with Vesper’s death would say. All of the interviews and articles on Quantum of Solace reveal the same point: that the film will be far darker than Casino Royale and will involve much soul searching on Bond’s part



Michael G. Wilson was also quoted as saying: "You know, Quantum of Solace is a short story from Ian Fleming. I think it works for the film; I think it works for the story. In a sense, I think it was a good move to use an original title from Ian Fleming." Below is an excerpt from the short story Quantum of Solace from Ian Fleming's For Your Eyes Only.



"I’ve seen flagrant infidelities patched up, I’ve seen crimes and even murder foreign by the other party, let alone bankruptcy and other forms of social crime. Incurable disease, blindness, disaster - all of these can be overcome. But never the death of common humanity in one of the partners. I’ve thought about this and I’ve invented a rather high-sounding title for this basic factor in human relations. I have called it the law of the Quantum of Solace.



Bond said, "That’s a splendid name for it. It’s certainly impressive enough. And of course I see what you mean. I should say you’re absolutely right. Quantum of Solace - the amount of comfort. Yes, I suppose you can say that all love and friendship is based in the end on that. Human beings are very insecure. When the other person not only makes you feel insecure but actually seems to want to destroy you, it’s obviously the end. The Quantum of Solace stands at zero. You’ve got to get away to save yourself."
