James Bond film directors John Glen (For Your Eyes Only, Octopussy, A View to a Kill, The Living Daylights & Licence To Kill), Martin Campbell (GoldenEye, Casino Royale) and Michael Apted (The World Is Not Enough) got together to make the announcement at CES 2012 in Las Vegas. Casino Royale’s Caterina Murino, and Quantum of Solace’s Olga Kurylenko, were also at the big announcement. The Blu-ray Disc collection will retail for $299. Too pricey? You can pre-order right now from Amazon.com for $199.

Olga Kurylenko, starring in the upcoming Bond film Quantum of Solace, was recently interviewed on the Fox 11 Morning show. She talked about being discovered in the Ukraine and the “James Bond Curse.” “I’ve got some bruises, but it is fine,” Olga said, after being asked she was afraid of the curse.

She also mentioned shopping with Gemma Arterton who plays MI6 Agent Fields. Olga and Gemma do not share any scenes together, but are friends and went shopping together in Panama.

Olga plays Russian-Bolivian agent Camille, who plays the lead Bond girl and has her own vendetta against Dominic Greene and Quantum, who are connected to Casino Royale’s Bond girl Vesper Lynd.

Olga also plays in the movie Max Payne with Mark Wahlberg which opened this weekend and trounced all other openings. Olga plays Natasha Sax, who wants to be with Max (Mark Wahlberg) but is killed mysteriously.

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”.

February 2008 brought the announcement of the new bond girls for the latest 007 film slated for release in November 2008.

The next Bond film will feature Gemma Arterton from Kent, England, as well as Olga Kurylenko who was born in the Ukraine. Daniel Craig will continue his role as 007, after having great success as Bond in “Casino Royale.” Although many were weary of his election as the newest Bond replacing Pierce Brosnan, Craig won over the hearts of true Bond fans.

This will be the 23rd film in the James Bond series. The first film, “Dr. No”, was released in 1962, and starred Sean Connery who is revered by most 007 fans as the best James Bond. Stay tuned for more about these perfect 007 girls and the upcoming James Bond film presently titled “Quantum of Solace.”
