Starring Daniel Craig as the legendary secret agent, James Bond, “Quantum of Solace” is directed by Marc Foster and written by Neal Purvis & Robert Wade and Oscar® winner Paul Haggis (“Crash”). The film picks up the storyline just one hour after the end of “Casino Royale,” marking the first direct sequel in the franchise.
Fueled by the betrayal of Vesper, the woman he loved (in “Casino Royale”), Bond's determination to track down the mastermind behind Quantum, sinister organization leads to Haiti, where he finds an unlikely ally in Camille (Kurylenko), a beautiful but feisty stranger. As Bond 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 (Dench).
“Quantum of Solace” is distributed in the Philippines by Columbia Pictures, local office of Sony Pictures International.
