The Insider and ET went to the top secret Panama City set of the new James Bond film Quantum of Solace and they both aired their exclusive interviews with the main cast and Marc Forster tonight. I made captures of Gemma’s interviews and they can be found in our gallery. The Insider and ET videos can be viewed here and here. The questions may not have been the best (”Is James ready to have sex again?”, “Is Daniel a good kisser?”, etc), but it’s always exciting to see new Bond-related promotion.

As you can see, we have a slightly different layout up here at Gemma Arterton Online to keep things fresh and unique. If you still see the old one or parts of it, please click refresh multiple times or clean your cache. That should do the trick! ;) We hope you like the new look.

— TV Alert —

Break out that martini — shaken, not stirred; DANIEL CRAIG is back for his sophomore outing as James Bond in Quantum of Solace, set for release November 7, and ET’s own JANN CARL jet-setted all the way to Panama City to visit the super-secret set!

The 22nd Bond film in the franchise is a direct continuation of the events set in motion by Casino Royale, with 007 out for revenge on a mission that takes him to Austria, Italy and South America.

The Diving Bell and the Butterfly star MATHIEU AMALRIC is the new Bond villain, while sultry OLGA KURYLENKO and GEMMA ARTERTON step in as the new Bond Girls. Oscar winner JUDI DENCH also returns as Bond’s boss, M, with JEFFREY WRIGHT and GIANCARLO GIANNINI reprising their roles as Bond’s allies Felix Leiter and Mathis from Casino Royale.
