New Bond girl spills the beans on Quantum of Solace.
by Chris Tilly, IGN UK

UK, January 29, 2008 - Gemma Arterton has only been acting for six months, but the 22-year-old has already won plum parts in Brit flicks St. Trinian’s, 3 and Out and Guy Ritchie’s forthcoming RocknRolla. If that wasn’t enough, she’s also playing a Secret Service agent in new Bond film Quantum of Solace, and IGN interviewed her on set last week to discuss landing one of cinema’s most sought after roles.

You’ve been a Bond girl for a little while now — is it still exciting or is the novelty starting to wear off a bit?

Gemma Arterton: No, every day there’s something exciting that happens, like I just got asked to present at the BAFTAs, which I can’t do because I’m filming this, but little things like that. I’ve only just left drama school and have been working professionally for six months, so all of this is out of this world. It doesn’t feel real still. That’s why I wasn’t too nervous on the first day because I just felt like it was a game. The size of it hasn’t hit me yet, but I’m sure that it will.

New Bond girl Gemma Arterton has hinted the superspy will marry in new movie Quantum Of Solace.

The British actress, 22, confirmed she and Daniel Craig had been filming scenes for the next installment of the franchise in a honeymoon suite.

After realising she had revealed a crucial plot, the St Trinian’s star told a U.S. reporter, “I think I’ve said too much.”

It will be the second marriage for Bond - the spy married in the 1969 movie On Her Majesty’s Service.

They come from very different backgrounds. One is the daughter of a Gravesend welder while the other was brought up by a single mum in a bleak, impoverished Ukrainian backwater.

But Gemma Arterton and Olga Kurylenko have both been plucked from obscurity for roles in the new Bond film, Quantum of Solace.

Just nine months ago, Gemma, who is 22 this week, was working in a Covent Garden beauty shop.

“We had a Bond themed night a year ago and I had dress as a Bond girl and sell make-up,” says the actress who plays MI6 operative Agent Fields. “And now here I am, a real Bond girl!

I’ve made scans of a lesser seen spread featuring Gemma and her St Trinian’s co-stars. I believe this one of Gemma’s very first covers and she looks stunning - the photo of her alone is definitely one of my personal favorites.

New Bond girl Gemma Arterton has revealed her boyfriend is “wary” about her landing the coveted part in Quantum Of Solace.

Gemma, who has been cast alongside Ukranian Olga Kurylenko in the latest Bond installation, said: “He’s wary of it. Who wouldn’t be? But I love him very much and I am not interested in anyone else.

E! News aired a short clip from the Quantum of Solace press conference and photocall yesterday and introcuded the new Bond girls Gemma Arterton and Olga Kurylenko.

Gemma Arterton, 21, is only six months out of drama school and is now playing Agent Fields, an MI6 field agent at the Bolivian consulate. She is possibly the youngest spy to ever appear in a Bond movie. “She doesn’t do anything too advanced, it’s not like she’s killing people,” she reveals. In response to the main question, she says: “Yes I do kiss Daniel Craig. The kiss has happened and yes [pause] it was quite incredible. It was all a bit of a daze. I felt such a giggly girl because he’s such a man.”

Arterton, who plays head girl Kelly in the current St Trinian’s movie, has been warned by another Bond girl to open her post with a letter-opener now that she has kissed Craig. “You get hate mail, apparently,” she confided.

Wow! We’re getting spoiled with great Bond related goodies. Check out the first still of Gemma Arterton as Agent Fields in Quantum of Solace, courtesy of Empire Online. It just surfaced online. Here’s what they had to say about Gemma’s look:

Gemma Arterton’s Agent Fields has the rather pure, buttoned up look that Rosamund Pike had in Die Another Day, and we all know what happened to her. So maybe we can expect prim facade (or at least the wig-looking ‘do) to fall away and reveal something darker. We already know she has love scenes with Bond.

As we reported ealier, a press conference and photocall for the 22nd James Bond film, now officially titled Quantum of Solace was held earlier today. Gemma, as well as Daniel Craig and fellow bond girl Olga Kurylenko were in attendance. I have added the first available photos with many more to come! Gemma looks great here, I really adore her look and she’s totally rockin’ the new hair!

I have uploaded a batch of Gemma pictures from recent events, on set images of St. Trinian’s and more pictures from Love’s Labour’s Lost. She looks super cute in these! Check everything out here.

I came across an appearance that we’d previously missed - Gemma attended the Paris Fashion Week Vuitton Unveils Blason Fine Jewelry by Pharrell Williams and Camille Miceli event in Paris, France on January 21, 2008. As you may notice, Gemma has dyed her hair and is now sporting a red shade. She’s looking very pretty and I like what she’s wearing!

Sony Pictures has announced that the official title for the 22nd James Bond installment is Quantum of Solace. The title is taken from one of a collection of short stories published by 007 creator Ian Fleming in 1960.

The new film sees 007 (Daniel Craig) out for revenge on a mission that takes him to Austria, Italy and South America. Bond girl Camille, played by Ukrainian-born Olga Kurylenko, leads the secret agent to Dominic Greene (Mathieu Amalric), member of a mysterious organization and a ruthless businessman, seeking to control huge natural resources.

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.

I’ve just added another scan to the gallery. Like the magazine says, Miss Gemma is definitely a face to watch!

I’ve scanned Gemma’s stunning feature from the February 2008 issue of British Arena magazine. Not only are the pictures beautiful but the article is also lengthy and interesting. I apologize for the low quality; my scanner is acting up a little. I’ll re-scan the pictures in the future.

As some of you noticed, we have some problems with our new gallery theme, which oddly blocked some users from viewing any pictures. We’ve now gone temporarily back to the old theme. We’ll whip up something new later on as inspiration strikes again, hee! At least everyone should be able to view the media page now.

Gemma Arterton Online is owned and operated by Riikka, Mariana and Mycah. We’ve recently discovered Miss Arterton and decided to build this site as a tribute to this young actress who managed to captivate our attention like a veteran actress. We tried to make this site as complete as could be, but, at the moment, there isn’t much about Gemma out there. Please stay stuned because Gemma Arterton Online will keep growing, just like Miss Arterton’s career! We hope you enjoy this tribute we’ve built for the star on the rise.
