QUANTUM OF SOLACE shortest Bond movie ever
Another first for QUANTUM FOR SOLACE - it has clocked in at 106 minutes, making it the shortest Bond movie in history. Some what ironically SOLACE is the first official Bond sequel in the franchise history with events directly carrying on from the end of CASINO ROYALE, which at nearly 2 and a half hours is itself the longest Bond movie in history! Director Marc Forster told Cinematical...
you know, like in the middle of Casino [Royale] they had a very long card game which, which was, was and in this movie its shorter and doesnt have that type of card game where you sort of reflect more because the story didnt require it. So the movie is, you know, a little over an hour and forty minutes, so its much of a more compact emotional intense journey than Casino, which, I think, had more reflective moments maybe.One huge criticism of CASINO ROYALE and something I most definitely concurred with was the length, the third act kinda outstayed it's own welcome. Not much chance of that here. The last Bond movie to clock under 2 hours was 1997's TOMORROW NEVER DIES and it's rarity in the history of the series. source - commander bond
