20 Things You Didn’t Know About Quantum Of Solace (2008)

To reward him for his hard work on the film, Marc Forster asked first assistant director, Michael Lerman to cameo as a waiter in the Bregenz opera house restaurant. However, Lerman only agreed to the role on the condition that his character be shot; therefore, when Double-0 Seven races into the restaurant pursued by Dominic Greene’s gun-toting henchmen, Lerman’s waiter is one of the first to be gunned down.

He returned as first assistant director in SkyFall (2012) and SPECTRE (2015), before the director of those Bond films, Sir Sam Mendes asked him to be his first assistant director and co-producer on 1917 (2019).

Taking a much more relaxed approach, Michael G. Wilson appeared reading a newspaper in the lobby of the Hôtel Dessalines in Port-au-Prince when Double-0 Seven claims a briefcase left for Edmund Slate (Neil Jackson). This was shot at the Art Deco-style Arboix Building in Colón, Panama.

I started writing for WhatCulture in July 2020. I have always enjoyed reading and writing. I have contributed to several short story competitions and I have occasionally been fortunate enough to have my work published. During the COVID-19 lockdown, I also started reviewing films on my Facebook page. Numerous friends and contacts suggested that I should start my own website for reviewing films, but I wanted something a bit more diverse - and so here I am! My interests focus on film and television mainly, but I also occasionally produce articles that venture into other areas as well. In particular, I am a fan of the under appreciated sequel (of which there are many), but I also like the classics and the mainstream too.
