Titles Babes Are Back
6th October 2008
They were controversially dumped from
the title sequence graphics of Daniel Craig's debut as
007, but the iconic
babes are back for the upcoming adventure " Quantum
of Solace". Titles designer Daniel Kleinman opted out of the titillating
silhouettes for 2006's "Casino
Royale" as the
credits used a raw rotoscope animation style, but "Quantum
of Solace" director Marc
Forster has brought in graphics
house MK12 to create the new title sequence - complete
with the wriggling and writhing babes.
Professional dancer Franky Wedge, perhaps best known in
the UK for her appearance in Eric Prydz's "Call On
Me" music video, spilled the beans to national newspapers
recently. "I had an audition and I thought there was
no way I was going to get it," Franky told The Sun.
"There
were ten foot tall skinny models and I was like, 'Oh right'.
I was actually in Milan when they told me I'd got the part,
so I had to fly straight home to do a rehearsal." |

Also appearing in the "Quantum of Solace" titles sequence
will be fellow dancer and model Jessica Grist, who was trained
at
The Royal Ballet School and Birmingham Royal Ballet.
The shoot took place in July and spanned four days. "We
had to get a bit naked!" said Franky. "We were wearing
some things just to cover certain bits of us, but it had to look
like we had nothing on! I haven't actually seen the end result
yet, some of it is computer generated." She told The Daily
Star, "I was very excited to do it. It was a great experience
and when I am old I will always be able to turn around and say
I was a Bond girl."
