UNFLAPPABLE British agent 007 returns soon to the screens, but as a James Bond as we’ve never seen before, shaken and wounded by the betrayal of the love of his life.

Filming has already begun on “Quantum of Solace” with British actor Daniel Craig reprising the role he first took on in “Casino Royale,” after a series of famous Bond actors such as Sean Connery and Pierce Brosnan.

But in this film, James Bond, the agent created by British author Ian Fleming, is a different kind to the suave, sophisticated, martini-sipping womanizer of earlier incarnations.

“He has lost the love of his life and the last thing he knows is that she was a double agent. She sold him out. The relationship that he was looking at was just a lie,” Craig said when shooting in the northern Chilean town of Cerro Paranal.

In the 2006 “Casino Royale,” Bond is seen at the beginning of his career before he received his “license to kill,” and falls head-over-heels in love with Vesper Lynd, played by Eva Green, only to discover she’s a double agent.

Vesper’s betrayal and death shook Bond so badly that in the next installment of his adventures he needs to get to the truth in order to move on with his life, Craig said.

“So he has got this little kind of a spark inside him that, although he does not want to admit, he needs to find out. Without that he is not going to function properly,” he added. “So definitely, this movie is about beginning that discovery.”

In true Bond style, the fast and furious action moves around the globe with scenes also taking place in Austria, Haiti and Italy, as Bond tracks down Dominic Greene, played by Mathieu Amalric, the evil leader of a criminal organization.

Greene is bent on laying his hand on the vast natural resources of Bolivia by supporting a coup d’etat in the unstable Latin American country.

The team began working on “Quantum of Solace” in Chile last week, after spending a month and a half working in Panama and the Mexican state of Baja California.
