Now, three years later, Universal Exports takes an in-depth look back at the whole mess surrounding the end of Bond #5's tenure. http://www.universalexports.net/007news/2008/11/james-bond-was-almost-a-dad-in-quantum-of-solace/ Wed, 05 Nov 2008 14:21:00 EST Quantum of Solace director Marc Forster has recently revealed that the plot of the movie almost revolved around James Bond looking for Vesper Lynd�s orphaned son. It was later decided to eliminate that plot point from the movie in an effort to not deal with questions such as what to do with the son after Bond finds him. Would 007 feel like he had a responsibility to take care of the child? Would he just abandon it? These were questions that, thankfully, would never need to be addressed as writer Paul Haggis was outvoted on the idea. http://www.universalexports.net/007news/2008/11/bondian-techniques-used-to-combat-quantum-of-solace-piracy/ Wed, 05 Nov 2008 13:03:00 EST In a plan worthy of James Bond himself, Sony Pictures is using night vision goggles in theaters in Sweden to find anyone using a camcorder to bootleg Quantum of Solace. These are unprecidented measures meant to ensure that the film does not wind up on the Internet weeks before it�s US release.
