Daniel Craig’s second outing as Bond follows on from where Casino Royale left off, with 007 determined to find out the truth behind his betrayal by Vesper Lynd, the woman he loved. Marc Forster directs…
Even before the title was announced on 24 January 2008, much was already known about Bond 22, the follow-up to Casino Royale.
However, before we get 1)embroiled in details of the plot and production, that title needs a little explanation. Unless you’re an obsessive fan of all things Bond-related, you may not be aware that Quantum of Solace was a short story written by Bond creator Ian Fleming and first published in a magazine in 1959. Later it appeared in the 1960 short story collection For Your Eyes Only, Fleming’s eighth Bond book, which lent its name to the twelfth Bond film in 1981.
Unlike the traditional Bond tales, the story Quantum of Solace was more of an experimental parable, in which Bond is attending a tedious dinner party at the governor’s house in 2)Nassau, in the 3)Bahamas. After the guests have left, the governor recounts a tale to Bond involving a civil servant and an air hostess, the moral of which concerns lost love and revenge. The phrase “quantum of solace” itself refers to the final 4)motes of compassion.
After the announcement that the name of the story were being used for the film, Craig explained, “If you don’t have that quantum of solace then there’s not much worth fighting for. It’s a lot to do with where he’s at from the end of the last movie. He’s had his heart broken and he’s going out to find the guy who is responsible.”
If you recall, Casino Royale culminated with the collapsing building in Venice in which Vesper died. Mr White (5)Jesper Christensen), the mysterious
6)assassin who was involved with the blackmailing of Vesper, was tracked by Bond and captured.
The official synopsis of Quantum of Solace reveals that Bond and M(7)Judi Dench) learn of the powerful organisation behind White through his interrogation. This is Green Planet, which has double-agents in 8)MI6 and the 9)CIA. The chief 10)baddie appears to be “businessman” Dominic Greene(11)Mathieu Amalric) who fronts Green Planet. They are plotting a 12)coup in Latin Ame-rica with one General Medrano(Joaquín Cosio) to “take total control of one of the world’s most
important natural resources”.
This provides the 13)pretext for Bond’s 14)globetrotting, and enables the film to introduce the girls. Despite talk of the 15)franchise’s rebirth, these two elements remain very much in place. The Bond girls this time round are “beautiful but 16)feisty Camille, a woman who has her own 17)vendetta”, played by
18)Ukrainian actress 19)Olga Kurylenko, making the transition from 20)wannabe Bond movie 21)Hitman to actual Bond movie; then there’s fellow MI6 agent Fields, played by young British newcomer Gemma Arterton, head girl at the 22)rebooted 23)St Trinian’s.
As for the director, Marc Forster, better known for his character studies than action movies, took up the job, having completed 24)Finding Neverland and 25)The Kite Runner, the 2007 film he was working on when he took the Bond 26)gig.
Forster said, “I was surprised, and I had to think hard about whether I wanted to do it. I’m not sure I could have found a way into Bond before Daniel Craig reinvented him.” He said that Craig’s Casino Royale Bond was “very isolated, a man who’s damaged in some way…a completely new interpretation of the character.” Forster also noted that Bond’s mother was Swiss, like his own, giving him more of a connection with the character. (Forster was born in Switzerland, with a German father, and is the first non-27)Commonwealth director to
28)helm a Bond film.)
Shooting began in August 2007. We’ll have to wait until November to find out how Craig 29)fares in his second excursion as Bond, but in the meantime, think about the villain he’s facing. In creating Dominic Greene, French actor Mathieu Amalric has said, “I’ve been taking details, the smile of Tony Blair, the craziness of Sarkozy, he’s the worst
villain we’ve ever had. He’s really dangerous. In fact he walks around thinking he’s in a Bond film.” Sounds deeply creepy.
在《微量情愫》中,由丹尼尔•克雷格二度出演的邦德决定找出他深爱的女人维斯珀•林德背叛他的真相,情节紧接着《皇家赌场》的最后一幕。该片由马克•福斯特执导……
这是007系列电影的第22集,《皇家赌场》的续集,其电影名公布于今年1月24日,但是早在公布之前,大家都已经知道电影中的许多情节。
然而,在大家深入了解故事的细节和制作之前,很有必要先解释一下电影名。除非你是邦德的忠实粉丝,对所有与邦德有关的事物都非常熟悉,要不你很可能不会知道《微量情愫》其实是邦德教父伊恩•弗莱明写的一个短篇小说。这个短篇于1959年初次刊登在一本杂志上,然后收录在他1960年出版的短篇小说集《高度机密》里,这是弗莱明的第八本邦德系列小说,后来1981年的第十二部邦德电影借用了这本小说的名字作为片名。
与传统的邦德故事不同,《微量情愫》更像是一个实验性的寓言故事,故事中,巴哈马首都拿骚的一个地方高官在宅邸举办宴会,邦德参加了这个枯燥乏味的宴会。宾客散尽之后,这个高官向邦德追述了一个公务员和一名空姐的故事,寓意蕴含了逝去的爱与内心的仇恨。“微量情愫”这个词本身就是指最后的零星的怜悯之情。
在公布使用短篇小说名作片名之后,丹尼尔•克雷格解释说:“如果连那么一丁点儿的慰藉都没有,那么就没有什么值得去奋力争取。这与邦德在上一集最后的遭遇有很大关系。他伤心欲绝,决意找出幕后黑手。”
如果你还记得,在《皇家赌场》的最后,威尼斯的一座大楼崩塌了,被困在里面的维斯珀遇难身亡。邦德追踪到参与绑架维斯珀的神秘杀手怀特先生(由杰斯
珀•克里斯坦森扮演),并将其抓获。
《微量情愫》已公布的情节是:通过盘问怀特,邦德和上司M(由朱迪•登奇扮演)了解到怀特背后的强大组织。这个组织就是“绿色星球”,在军情六处和中央情报局都有它的卧底。幕后黑手就是“商人”多米尼克•格林(由马提厄•阿马利克扮演),他是“绿色星球”的高层人员。他们联合一个名叫梅德拉诺的将军(由乔昆•科西欧扮演)一起谋划在拉丁美洲发动一场政变,目的在于让他们“完全控制世界上最重要的一种自然资源”。
出于这个原因,邦德奔波于世界各地,所以电影里出现不同的女孩子也合乎情理。尽管有一些要重整这个系列电影的说辞,但是这两个元素的存在是雷打不动的。这次的邦德女郎是“外表美丽却性格刚烈的卡米尔,她也心藏深仇大恨”,这个角色由乌克兰女演员欧嘉•柯瑞兰寇饰演,之前她曾参演仿邦德电影的《杀手47》,现在转而出演真正的邦德电影;还有军情六处的特工同行菲尔兹,由年轻的英国新晋演员吉玛•阿特顿扮演,她曾在翻拍的《新乌龙女校》里扮演学校的风云人物。
至于导演马克•福斯特,他更为出名的是导演人物刻画类的电影,而不是动作片。他曾导演《寻找梦幻岛》和《追风筝的人》,他是在2007年拍摄《追风筝的人》的时候接下这部007电影的。
福斯特说:“当时我很惊讶,我不得不好好想想自己是否真的想接拍这部电影。如果不是丹尼尔•克雷格重新塑造了邦德这个人物,我真不知道我要如何深入邦德的内心世界。”他说克雷格在《皇家赌场》里扮演的邦德是一个“独行侠,在某些方面有严重的创伤……他对这个角色有一个全新的演绎。”同时,福斯特也注意到,邦德的母亲是瑞士人,和他母亲一样,所以他与邦德这个角色又多了一丝联系。(福斯特在瑞士出生,父亲是德国人,福斯特是第一个执导007电影的来自非英联邦国家的导演。)
电影在2007年8月开始拍摄。我们要等到11月才能知道克雷格在他第二次作为邦德进行环球旅行的时候表现如何,但是同时,也看看与邦德交手的坏人。在塑造多米尼
克•格林这个角色的时候,法国演员马蒂厄•阿马利克说过:“我一直都在汲取一些他人的细微动作,如布莱尔的微笑、萨科齐的疯狂。他是我们所看过的最坏的坏人。他真的是个危险人物。事实上,他走路时也想着自己在演007电影。”听上去似乎挺可怕的。

“型男邦德”速成班
身手矫健、风流倜傥的邦德先生从来都是走传统英国绅士路线,他拥趸的时尚哲学是不显山不露水,低调之中显奢华。套用邦德先生的话说,一个把西服logo露于人前的绅士,“就像听披头士音乐不戴耳机一样糟糕”。
不过,这样一位从不显露他的衣服商标的迷人特工的“享乐主义”倾向越来越明显,007系列眼看渐成各类名品集散地了,大家不妨跟着小编一起肢解一下“型男邦德”的各项配备吧!
配备一
阿斯顿·马丁DBS跑车
这辆搭载V12发动机,0-100公里加速只需4.3秒,最高时速达到320公里的高级跑车,一经在《007:皇家赌场》里亮相,就成为了许多车迷心目中的梦幻之车。它全部依靠手工打造,既是一个机器猛兽,又是一件艺术品,不过它所需要的油费和保养费也是高的吓人。
配备二
Turnbull&Asser 衬衫与蝴蝶领结
邦德先生的衬衫与蝴蝶领结都出自这家名为Turnbull&Asser的伦敦老店,此店自1855年起就已是英国王室钦点的牌子,600多种衬衫布料是它最大的特色。顾客还可依据自己的喜好进行个人订制,当然了,它的价格也是高的离谱!
配备三
伏特加马提尼
007先生总有他独特的嗜好,比如那句经典的台词:“来一杯马提尼兑伏特加,用摇的,不要搅拌”,听起来就是那么有范儿!不过,摇匀还是拌匀真的有那么大的差别吗?
