Virgin Atlantic is back for new Bond film ‘Quantum of Solace’
MUMBAI: Following its successful partnership on the last Bond film Casino Royale, Virgin Atlantic has announced that it will once again be a global partner for the 22nd Bond movie Quantum of Solace, due out later this year.
Produced by Michael G Wilson and Barbara Broccoli for Eon Productions and directed by Marc Forster, Quantum of Solace is scheduled to be released on 7 November 2008. Virgin Atlantic will be supporting the release with a series of promotional and marketing initiatives connected with the movie.
Virgin Atlantic president Sir Richard Branson says, “Virgin Atlantic and James Bond make a great partnership – slick, smooth and renowned the world over. Casino Royale propelled Bond to greater success and we’re certain that Quantum of Solace will set an even higher standard.”
Branson appeared in a cameo role in Casino Royale and Virgin Atlantic aircrafts were featured in the Miami airport scene.
Daniel Craig reprises his role as 007 in Quantum of Solace. 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 that the organisation that blackmailed Vesper is far more complex and dangerous than anyone had imagined.
Quantum of Solace also stars Olga Kurylenko as Camille, Mathieu Amalric as Dominic Greene, Gemma Arterton as Agent Fields and Jeffrey Wright who returns to the role of Felix Leiter.

The film promises razor-sharp writing, layered performances, and simmering tension, inviting viewers not just to solve the crime but to unravel the complex relationships at its heart.
