Terrosorist Organisation Called: Quantum of Solace

Bond_James_Bond

Could the actual name of the Organisation to be introduced be "Quantum of Solace"?

" You work for the Quantum of Solace?"

no

VC_Dirty Mind

I don't think so. Quantum of Solace is a reference to Bond's feelings (Vesper). Isn't that what Craig said in one of the online videos?

"Ellipsis"(...) is the name of the terrorist organization 007 confronted in Casino Royale and it's apparently going to reappear in Quantum of Solace as well.

Are you sure?

If Ellipsis was intended as the name of "the organisation", rather than just a code word, then perhaps it ought to be an acronym for something - just as SPECTRE was an acronym (for 'Special Executive for Counterintelligence, Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion').

But if "the organisation" was to turn out to be SPECTRE reintroduced, perhaps the acronym could now stand for: 'Specialist Procurement and Expertise for Crime, Terror, Revenge and Extremism'.

Strangeways

I said in an earlier thread that the organisation should be called SOLACE, an acronym for

SOCIETY OF LARCENY AND CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE

I think that's what I said anyway - can't find the thread now!

SOLACE would also be cool - what DC has said in interviews is that people will understand the title later on in the film and that it was not just about the human element.

???

All "Ellipsis" seemed to be in CR was the code of the week to access security at Miami Airport. If it meant more than that it was never made clear, at least not in the film itself. I think "Ellipsis" as the name of the mysterious Organization is a fanboy creation, nothing more.

Number24

If ELIPSIS is the name of the organisation it makes no sense. If they controlled security on the airport enough to decide the password, they could have done a lot of things differently in CR.
SOLACE is a good name.

Wasn't Green Planet the organisation? Or are we talking about a bigger one; the 'real' organisation? 'Cuz I don't think it's Solace or Elipsis.

Solaris

I assume that "green Planet" is Dominic Greene's cover organisation / company.

Since EON is Hell Bent on emphasizing the Flemming aspect of the Bond legacy(Cheers to that!!!)it would seem likely that they would use SPECTRE. It perfectly applies to the new story arch. SPECTRE hasn't been used since 1971 so what is old is new again.
I highly doubt that 'Ellipsis' is the name of the Terrorist Organization, like it's been mentioned before it's most likely a code word that relates to the one Big project that SPECTRE has going on. Remember QOS starts 10 or so minutes after CR which is new to the series. After all QOS is as much movie number 2 as it is 22. Anything is possible, the usual obligatory scenes(Q, Moneypenny etc) have been dispense with. That's not to say they wont return, 5 will get you 10 both Q & Penny will be back but not every movie. Each movie will now follow each other(Time wise)as if it was an on going story kind of like like the Lord of the Rings Trilogy accept where in the Rings the main characters knew there objective (Destroy ring-End of story). Bond does not know what the Big Picture is yet. So I think each ongoing movie will have a different bad guy scheme complements of SPECTRE?, just like the 60's films. However this time around each movies scheme is a single piece of a much larger sinister puzzle which Bond only knows as 'Ellipsis'. With each film Bond puts out a series of small fires(La Chiffre, Dominic Greene etc.)which eventually leads to the Big Kahuna-Blofeld? Suffice to say when you watch the complete story arch it will nit together in realistic fashion as one big story.

They could be really cool and not have a name! Just be...the organisation!

If only Get Smart wasn't being made - they could so claim the name "Kaos"

I really like that quote Scottbuster2000. Did you find that somewhere or is that an original?

Apocrypha23, It's an original.
