The New Bond Girl: Gemma Arterton or Olga Kurylenko?

The next movie in the James Bond franchise has the working title of Bond 22 and stars the current Bond, Daniel Craig (Casino Royale, The Invasion, The Golden Compass). And as any Bond fan knows, there’s always at least one hot young starlet known as the Bond Girl appears in each movie. The IMDB listing for Bond 22 lists two actresses, Gemma Arterton and Olga Kurylenko in the top billing. Either could be the Bond Girl.

A few days ago, the Hollywood Reporter said British newcomer Gemma Arterton is the new Bond Girl. But BBC News said yesterday that it’s former Ukrainian model Olga Kurylenko that is the new Bond Girl. Instead, as Geeks of Doom points out, Arterton is playing MI6 Agent Fields.

The movie continues on from the end of Casino Royale and opens Nov 7th.

    I’ve been resistant to each new Bond, so I’ve been holding back on watching Casino Royale. Daniel Craig has never struck me as a bond – he doesn’t seem to have the dapper quality. But maybe I’m wrong and it’s time to rent the video.
