Bond 22 has a name. That name is "Quantum of Solace."
The 22nd Bond film, starring Daniel Craig, is the direct sequel to 2006's "Casino Royale."
The title, according the film's producer Michael G. Wilson, was chosen from a story from Bond creator Ian Fleming's collection "For Your Eyes Only."
Craig said that Fleming explained the meaning of quantum solace as "that spark of niceness in a relationship that if you don't have, you might as well give up."
Filming started earlier this month. "Quantum of Solace" is set to be released later this year.
