The title is familiar to me from my days of reading the books and short stories, but they are really scraping the bottom of the barrel trying to get an Ian Fleming connection this time. It's really not a good title for the movie, in my opinion.
 
Official synopsis:

Sounds awesome!

QUANTUM OF SOLACE continues the high octane adventures of James Bond (DANIEL CRAIG) in CASINO ROYALE.

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.
 
Maybe there is some sort of connection between the short story and the movie. I can't remember what the short story is about, is it the one with the exotic fish? I need to re-read it.
 
It was a pretty atypical short story, with Bond the guest at a dinner party where he is told the story of a couple he met at the dinner table. I doubt that anything but the title is being used for the movie.
 
The title reminds me of a M*A*S*H episode where Radar asked Klinger for a modicum of potatoes. Is that the same as a quantum of solace?

I'm so glad a new Bond flick is on the way.
 
Quantum

1. A quantity or amount.
2. A specified portion.
3. Something that can be counted or measured.

So he's in mourning and this mission will allow him some measure of solace in dealing with Vesper's death.

Still a crap title.:rolleyes:
 
Horrible title but interesting premise. I'm looking forward to seeing this. Hopefully Sideshow will finally get a 1:6 Craig Bond released before the second movie hit's theaters.
 
Oh yeah I vaguely remember that short story. It's the one where Bond pronounces if he ever married it would be to a flight attendant. Maybe the Bond girl will be one. :lol
 
Remeber when they changed "Licence Revoked" to "License to Kill" because they thought Americans were too stupid to understand the title. Sounds like they need to rethink this one.

When I think of Quantum, I think of a UPS notice.
When I think of Solace, I think of a doiley or something.
When I think of Quantum of Solace, I am expecting to see The Josh's new figure pics.
