On the 4th of January 2008, Gemma Arterton confirmed that she had signed on to a Bond-girl role in 007′s latest on-screen adventure “Quantum of Solace”.
The role was in contention some time before she finally landed the project and much speculation surrounded the young British actress.
Interview with Daniel Craig
IGN Movies was at the Quantum of Solace set last week. Here’s what Bond himself had to say about the ‘Quantum of Solace’.
Who was the first person to suggest the title?
Daniel Craig: It’s been going around for a while, we’ve been discussing it quite a while. We could have found a nippy title – we had plenty of suggestions that would look good on the poster. But we made a lot of effort last time around to take the film to a new place, and we want to continue to do that. So this title is meant to confuse a little. It’s meant to make you wonder, and that’s what we want – we want people thinking as they come into the film. When we first came up with the title I wasn’t sure, but I’ve been re-reading the Fleming books, which I do when we start shooting because it passes the time. Fleming always has a very emotional line to his books, and that’s where we kind of left the last movie. It doesn’t mean that this movie is going to be some character-driven kitchen sink drama – we’re making a Bond movie – and ‘Quantum of Solace’ ties in with a very strong plot point, which I’m not going to give away at this point..
First Movie Stills from ‘Quantum of Solace’ & Synopsis
The first ’James Bond: Quantum Of Solace’ images have been released, including character shots of Daniel Craig, Gemma Arterton, Mathieu Amalric, Giancarlo Giannini, Olga Kurylenko, Judi Dench and Jeffrey Wright.
Columbia Pictures even released an official synopsis: ’Quantum Of Solace’ continues the high octane adventures of James Bond (Craig) in ’Casino Royale’.
Betrayed by Vesper, the woman he loved, 007 fights the urge to make his latest mission personal. Pursuing his determination to uncover the truth, Bond and M (Dench) interrogate Mr White (Jesper Christensen) who reveals the organization which blackmailed Vesper is far more complex and dangerous than anyone had imagined.
Forensic intelligence links an MI6 traitor to a bank account in Haiti where a case of mistaken identity introduces Bond to the beautiful but feisty Camille (Kurylenko), a woman who has her own vendetta. Camille leads Bond straight to Dominic Greene (Amalric), a ruthless business man and major force within the mysterious organization.

A few days ago, news broke that rising British actress Gemma Arterton was cast in the secondary Bond girl role, and now it looks like they’ve found their main Bond girl as well: Olga Kurylenko, most recently seen as the love interest in Hitman.
Arterton will be playing an MI6 Agent, while Kurylenko will play “the alluring Camille,” according to the Hollywood Reporter.
It’s also been confirmed that Mathieu Amalric’s villain is named Dominic Greene, and is a leading member of the shadowy organization introduced in Casino Royale. In addition, Giancarlo Giannini returns as Mathis, as well as Judi Dench (as M) and Jeffrey Wright (as Felix).

Arterton’s Octopussy to sting Craig’s Bond
Gemma Arterton (”St. Trinians”) will be snuggling up to – I’m guessing, but it wouldn’t be out of the question, right? – Daniel Craig in the 22nd Bond movie.
The Marc Forster-helmed film, loosely based on the Ian Fleming short story Risico, finds 007 (Daniel Craig) dispatched to infiltrate a drug ring flooding Britain with heroin, says Variety. “Casino Royale” scribe Paul Haggis penned the screenplay, furthering an earlier draft written by Neal Purvis and Robert Wade.
Gemma Arterton is Bond 22 Girl
The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed rumors that British actress Gemma Arterton has been cast as the new Bond Girl in Bond 22 (rumored to be titled 007). Gemma made her film debut in the 2007 St Trinian’s movie St Trinian’s.
Production began earlier in the week, nearly a month behind the original schedule. Bond 22 is still scheduled to hit theaters on November 7th 2008. Arterton just came off of Guy Ritche’s latest RocknRolla, which will also hit theaters later this year.

Also MI6 has posted the first images from UK pre-production of the 22nd James Bond film.
