Bond 22: The Property of a Lady: denotes Vesper's unresolved storyline(the cell phone, necklace).

Bond 23: Quatum of Solace: denotes resolution,closure = solace.

Bond 24: Icebreaker...I just like it. :tup:

So! On which title would you all bet????

A: 'The Property Of A Lady'
B: 'Risico'
C: 'The Emerald Sphere'
D: '007!'
E: 'Quantum Of Solace'

Absolutely no chance or reason for the title being "The Emerald Sphere"! From the great detective work of others, I'd certainly put "Quantum of Solace" as the most likely title at the moment...

how so? i mean how do u have evedince on this?


Another poster in the Press Conference thread found out that the URL "quantumofsolace.com" redirects to the Sony Pictures website.

could it be a mistake tho? that it redirects there?


It very well could be, but I think that if Bond 22 isn't "Quantum of Solace", then it would have to be a very big coincidence that the website leads to Sony's website.

Check this out.

http://www.checkdoma...tumofsolace.com

Created on 22 January 2008. I think I'm just about sold. It cannot be a coincidence.

BOND 22 will be QUANTUM OF SOLACE.

Sony Pictures registered the domain name on 22 January 2008. Therefore they must have done so for a reason - it makes sense that it is the title for BOND 22.

yeah, like when it lead me to sony.com i type in "Quantum of Solace" in the search part of it and nothing popped up. hmm..u guys maybe found something very intregging but tommorow i think we well finaly find out what the Official title will be hopefully unless they still haven't picked out a name yet.

You're right, I am sure that we're going to find out for sure tomorrow. As for not finding QoS when searching on the Sony page, my guess would be that, since the domain was just registered yesterday, that they haven't gotten all that far in attaching it to the Sony Pictures site (other than having some code written into the QoS site to redirect to Sony's site) nor have they really started building the site yet either.

Agreed. Although I can't say it with 100% confidence, I'm fairly certain that tomorrow we'll be referring to Bond 22 as Quantum of Solace.

take Cloverfield for example. look what they did with it. for the longest time everyone was told that the movie was going to be called Greyspot/1-18-08, but then it was a deal just to thro it off course of the real name being Cloverfield. i mean im just saying it could be.

Ha ha, great find, if we managed to scoop Sony's ultra secretive title before they unveiled it.

So, does this mean James Bond's personal "quantum of solace" will come from finding the men responsible for blackmailing Vesper?

I'm amazed if so, given the whole history of the infamous "Americans don't know what 'Revoked' means" debacle that lead to a movie with the bland title "Licence to Kill"!

How many Americans (or other English speakers, for that matter) will know what "Quantum of Solace" means?!!

Having said that, I'm not opposed to this title. It's a million times better than 'Risico'! :tup:

Probably shouldn't make a thread saying "Title is..." when it is still no more than speculation at this point.

No it won't be. They can't pick that. CAN THEY? Am I the only one that thinks thats a bloody awful title? No. I refuse to believe it will be that. It will be something completely out of the blue. Do you realise how much energy Star Wars fans expended trying to guess the title before The Phantom Menace was announced?

Someone inside Eon, or Haggis, has made up a title. Impossible to predict. I hope.

I'm hoping for some other information: plot details and character descriptions


I'm hoping the opposite. I hope EON keeps the plot underwraps for as long as they can.


Same here. I just want to know what the title is. I'm saving everything else for the day it opens.


Agreed.

I hope they do give us the title tommorow, I'm getting sick of calling it Bond 22.

Interestingly enough, http://www.quantumofsolace.com redirects to the Sony Pictures website. None of the other Fleming titles do this, http://www.thepropertyofalady.com takes you to a jewellry website, http://www.risico.comjust brings up search results for insurance websites and http://www.thehildebrandrarity.com just brings up a "404 - Page Not Found".



Interesting about the QoS link leading to Sony. Have you stumbled upon a major clue? The game is afoot!


But thepropertyofalady.com doesn't take you to a jewellry site, it takes you to a site which says "THIS DOMAIN NAME HAS JUST BEEN REGISTERED FOR ONE OF OUR CUSTOMERS!" and it talks all about domain name registration. So just because it doesn't take you to the Sony site at the moment doesn't mean that it won't direct to that later on or that someone else has ownership of it. Similarly (and even more so) with http://www.thehildebrandrarity.com just because that says "page not found" doesn't mean anything in itself. I own several domain names and yet some of them also say "page not found" because I haven't either activated the sites or don't have anything on the index page. It's not difficult to redirect a page so that it goes to another site - all it takes is a little piece of code, so they can easily put that in when it's time to go live. Furthermore, I would imagine that Sony or whoever would've registered all the Fleming Bond names as sites rather than letting someone else claim ownership of them for some other purpose.

I'm embarrassed to say I had to look it up. It means something akin to 'measure of comfort,' which I suppose makes sense regarding Bond's current situation.

I'm not really leaning in either direction. I'll wait for the official announcement. Personally, I don't think alot of people would know what it means.

Does it really matter if people can't understand it? The Bond series isn't exactly known for it's comprehensable titles. I seriously doubt it would hurt ticket sales in anyway, in fact I think the strangeness of the title could give Bond 22 some notoriety.

But thepropertyofalady.com doesn't take you to a jewellry site, it takes you to a site which says "THIS DOMAIN NAME HAS JUST BEEN REGISTERED FOR ONE OF OUR CUSTOMERS!" and it talks all about domain name registration.


My mistake, www.propertyofalady.com directs to the jewellry site, not www.THEpropertyofalady.com

I love "Quantum of Solace" as a title, I'd be happy to hear that it's 22.

Tomorrow's not going to be a fun day for me on personal level, at least there's this press conference to brighten it a bit.
