With the announcement of Quantum of Solace as the title of the newest James Bond 007 film directed by Marc Forster and details on the plot being uncovered, there has also been quite a bit of new information regarding the characters Daniel Craig’s 007 will be encountering in the film…

According to a report from BBC News, Olga Kurylenko, who plays the role of Camille, stated that she has yet to film any scenes for the newest 007 adventure, but is working hard preparing for her role.

I’m doing weapons training and body flight training for aerial scenes and stunt work for fighting,’ she said. ‘My days are so long, and it’s very physical. She’s going to be very different from the previous Bond girls.’

‘She’s a fighter. This girl is going to kick ass. She’s on her own mission and she’s driven by revenge.’

As earlier reported on CommanderBond.net, Quantum of Solace sees James Bond out for revenge on a mission that takes him to Austria, Italy and South America.

According to the synopsis, Camille (Kurylenko), leads the secret agent to Dominic Greene, member of a mysterious organization and a ruthless businessman, seeking to control huge natural resources.

Greene is played by Mathieu Amalric, who starred in the Oscar-nominated The Diving Bell and Butterfly. The plot follows on directly from Casino Royale as Bond aims to uncover the truth about Vesper, the beauty who betrayed him, and discovers that she had been blackmailed. ‘James Bond is after revenge, and Camille is after revenge and they have slightly different goals, but in the end they are going to have to collaborate,’ Kurylenko told reporters.

Gemma Arterton, who has the role of MI6 Agent Fields revealed that she had already completed her love scenes with Daniel Craig.

She said: ‘I felt like a giggly girl, and I felt so young and inexperienced—but I kissed James Bond!’

Arterton, who recently starred in the St Trinian’s film, said her Bond role is ‘not so frolicksome’ and her character ‘fresh and young, not sultry and a femme fatale.’ At the age of 21, Arterton is one of the youngest Bond girls in the series yet.

French actor Mathieu Amalric, who plays the villainous Dominic Greene, told reporters his character had ‘the smile of Tony Blair and the crazy eyes of Nicholas Sarkozy.’

As previously revealed at Empire Online, Amalric wasn’t planning on portraying the newest Bond villain as a larger than life figure. He said: ‘He’s not an over the top villian… no scars, no metal jaw—he is nude [which Empire assumes meaning no visual oddities].’

Dame Judi Dench, who returns for her sixth Bond film, said: ‘I get to do more in this one, which is brilliant.’ She hinted that her M’s relationship with Bond would be ‘pretty prickly’ in Quantum of Solace.
