Daniel Craig discusses new Bond title

Daniel Craig has insisted that the title of the new Bond movie is integral to the plot.

It was announced on Thursday that the 22nd movie in the 007 franchise would be called Quantum of Solace, which was the title of a short story in Bond creator Ian Fleming's For Your Eyes Only collection.

Though some fans have claimed that the title is overly complicated, lead actor Craig has said that opting for a "snappier" name would have been a mistake.

"We could have gone for a snappier title, but that sort of suggests we're insecure about what we're trying to say," Craig explained. "The statement is an Ian Fleming statement. It comes from the idea that in a relationship, if you don't have a quantum of solace left in your relationship, then give up.

"Where Bond is left at the end of the last movie, his heart's been broken and he doesn't have that quantum of solace, he doesn't have that ... closure on what happened in his life and he needs to find out. What is great about it is it also applies to something very important in the plot."

The movie will be released in November.
