Daniel Craig claims he named the new James Bond movie.
Fans were left puzzled when 'Quantum of Solace' - a lesser-known short story about the spy - was revealed as the title of the latest film in the franchise, but Daniel insists the outcry was unnecessary as most Bond titles are meaningless.
He told GQ magazine: "I was involved in making the decision. Names were coming out, some ludicrous stuff was going back and forth - I can't remember exactly but you know the sort of thing; 'The Blood on Your Face'.
"I knew I didn't want 'death', 'die', 'bleed', or any of those things in the title. As soon as it cut people were saying, 'Ooh it sounds like Harry Potter'. No, it's 'Quantum of Solace'. I was saying, 'It's a Bond title!'
"The name of a Bond film is not about anything. 'Live and Let Die'? 'Octopussy'? What does it mean? It means very little."
'Quantum of Solace' was included in author Ian Flemings 1960 collection of short stories entitled 'For Your Eyes Only', but no aspects of the plot have been included in the movie.
The title refers to "the smallest unit of compassion that two people can have".
