Quantum of Solace is a 2008 action spy film and the twenty-second in the James Bond series produced by Eon Productions. Directed by Marc Forster and written by Neal Purvis, Robert Wade, and Paul Haggis, it is the sequel to Casino Royale (2006), and stars Daniel Craig in his second appearance as the fictional MI6 agent James Bond. The film co-stars Olga Kurylenko, Mathieu Amalric, Giancarlo Giannini, Jeffrey Wright, and Judi Dench. In the film, Bond teams with Camille Montes (Kurylenko) to stop Dominic Greene (Amalric) from monopolising the Bolivian freshwater supply. A second Bond film starring Craig was planned before production began on Casino Royale in October 2005. In July 2006, Roger Michell was announced to direct with a planned release for May 2008, but left the project that October after delays with the screenplay. Purvis, Wade, and Haggis completed the screenplay by June 2007, after which Forster was announced as Michell's replacement. Craig and Forster also contributed uncredited rewrites to the film's screenplay. Principal photography began in August 2007 and lasted until May 2008, with filming locations including Mexico, Panama, Chile, Italy, Austria, and Wales, while interior sets were built and filmed at Pinewood Studios. The film's title is borrowed from a 1959 short story by Ian Fleming.
