Director Marc Froster says he wanted to experiment with the character of the elusive secret agent and bring out a new Bond different from the on-screen image established by his predecessors.

"Change is always for good and it seemed interesting to experiment. I wanted to bring more of an emotional component to the Bond movie," Froster told PTI through email.

Froster, who is known for making sensitive and character-driven films like Oscar winning 'Monster's Ball' and 'Finding Neverland,' admits that directing 'Quantum of Solace" was one of the biggest challenges of his career.

"The biggest challenge ever for me was to keep the legacy going as there were lots of expectations," he says.

The latest James Bond adventure, which is releasing in India on November 7, is one of the longest running series in the film history with 22 films.

Among other changes that he has introduced in the movie Froster has done away with trademark catch-phrases like 'My name is Bond, James Bond' and the famous one-liners about having his martinis 'shaken, not stirred' in the film which is a sequel to 'Casino Royale.' "Phrases like "The name is Bond,James Bond," and "shaken, not stirred" are immortal, but then why not try something real new with the grandest ever Bond film?" Froster quips.

He, however, clarifies that removing these catch-phrases was not a deliberate decision.
