Bond star Daniel Craig recently revealed that filming on the next James Bond movie will start at the end of 2010. In the meantime, director Marc Forster has been spilling the beans on Craig's previous 007 adventure, Quantum of Solace.


Forster who has already said he doesn't want to do the next Bond flick, had his breakthrough with Monster's Ball, for which Halle Berry won a best actress Oscar.

His next film, Finding Neverland, was nominated for five Golden Globe Awards and seven Academy Awards. The filmmaker, who had left Switzerland for the USA at the age of 20 to pursue his dream, continued his directorial success with films including Stranger than Fiction, The Kite Runner, and then last year's Quantum of Solace.

In an interview with MakingOf, Forster explains that the Bond flick was, for him, "a very different experience." He had a budget five times the amount he normally worked with plus, for the first time, a huge crew and a second-unit director and, on top of all that, he shot it in six countries.

He revealed that there had been no script in place at the time he joined the project yet the release date had already been set for a year later. He said: "It was done by travelling the world and trying to be inspired by locations." Action sequences were developed around interesting places they found, he said.

The project was intense because he had just five weeks to cut the movie and the tight deadlines meant there was no chance for re-shoots.
