English actress Gemma Arterton was chosen from around 1500 candidates to be the next Bond girl. Arterton will play a character called “Fields”, in what is described as a “nice-sized role” in the upcoming James Bond film Quantum of Solace. She will alsobe the face of Avon’s Bond Girl 007 fragrance when it launches in October 2008.

I caught the trailer to the new Bond film Quantum of Solace and boy does it look dark. This new bond is no nice guy. The trailer barely shows new bond girl Camille, played by Olga Kurylenko, but I’m sure we’ll see more of her November 7.

Camille is Russian-Bolivian agent and the lead Bond girl. She has her own vendetta regarding Greene and Quantum. The producers of the film said Camille is someone “who challenges Bond and helps him come to terms with the emotional consequences of Vesper’s betrayal”.
