CommanderBond.net has published an interview with Quantum of Solace producers Barbara Broccoli And Michael G. Wilson. Here is a bit about Gemma’s MI6 character.

Q: And what about Gemma Arterton’s character?

Wilson: She is kind of like Our Girl in Havana. She happens to be in the Embassy in Bolivia as cultural attaché but probably working for MI6. She is very officious to start out with, you know, puts him on a plane and everything, but that hardly lasts more than an hour or two before she is in bed with Bond. But she is also very heroic and gets herself involved.

Broccoli: She was another one, Gemma walked in and we went ‘done, that’s her!’ Both of the girls are extraordinary and I’m sure they are both going to be big stars. Both have some much to offer and they are unique.
