Guy Ritchie is back in his old stomping ground with RocknRolla. The Lock, Stock… and Snatch director has returned to the world of dodgy dealers, shady scams and back-stabbing that made his name, with a story of a tale of Russian mobsters running amok in the Big Smoke.

Featuring Gerard Butler, Thandie Newton, Jeremy Piven, Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, Tom Wilkinson, The Wire’s Idris Elba and Gemma Arterton amongst the cast, the film is out on 5th September but Empire has the world exclusive look at the first trailer for you right here, right now.

Gemma Arterton is featured in the June issue of British InStyle magazine. The breathtaking photoshoot was taken at the Hotel Gritti Palace in my personal favorite city, Venice (Italy). In the short but interesting article Gemma disses about kissing Daniel Graig, talks about her “deformities” and cites Björk as her fashion icon - yes, she even loves that infamous swan dress! I think this may be my favorite spread yet… Check it out!

I finally managed to get my copy of St. Trinian’s and made 600+ captures of Gemma’s performance as head girl Kelly Jones. It was definitely fun to revisit the performance and the film! Unfortunately, however, mine is a rental copy that has no extra features whatsoever. So if anyone out there would be able to create screencaptures of the deleted scenes, featurettes, etc, please get in touch! Full credit will be given. Thank you. Enjoy these and look back for some videos on my next update!

Romping with a Bond girl made Mackenzie Crook nervous.

The Office star beds stunning actress Gemma Arterton in his latest film, Three and Out.

And Mackenzie reckons the naked sex scenes were helped along by the St Trinian’s star.

“It is nerve-wracking,” he said. “But I can’t think of anyone better to do it with, if that doesn’t sound too rude.

“She is great and very professional. I it was great working with her in that – and all my scenes with her.

“It is quite awkward, getting your kit off in front of a crew. I can’t wait to do it again!” he joked.

A STREET in Corsham was transformed back in time for a day as the BBC moved into film a new production of Tess of the D’Urbevilles.

On Monday a scene from the Thomas Hardy novel was recreated in Church Street.

The star of the production, which is due to be screened in August, will be 22-year-old Gemma Arterton.

The young starlet landed the role as Tess just months after being signed up to play Agent Fields in the next James Bond film, Quantum of Solace.

After graduating from Rada last year she has starred in several films, including the British comedy St Trinian’s.

USA Today has an interesting report about Quantum of Solace, they also got a new still which featured Daniel as James Bond and our Ms. Arterton as Agent Fields. I have added it to the gallery and check out the article here.

“He has his heart broken,” says Craig, who turned 40 during the shoot. “The love of his life is killed, and he finds out she’s not who she said she was. … He’s out for revenge. But he’s also out to find — and this is what the title is about — a ‘quantum of solace.’ Something has been taken away from him, and he’s out to get that back.”

Bond does bed another MI6 agent, played by British actress Gemma Arterton, 22, a relative newcomer. “He has one relationship in this movie, a kind of fling. It’s mutually beneficial,” Craig says. “I think both parties enjoy it.”

Gemma and her boyfriend John Nolan attended the Empire Awards tonight. Unfortunately, Ms Arterton didn’t win the Best Newcomer award. The equally talented Sam Riley won it instead. At least the award went to someone who deserved it too, so I’m not sad.

At the event, the young actress opened up about her new Bond girl role alongside Daniel Craig in Quantum of Solace. She said: “It was scary at first but it turned out great.”

Down to earth Gemma even took an extra goodie bag back for her mum.

A few hours later, Gemma went to the Empire Awards Drinks Reception where she met fellow St Trinian’s co-star Talulah Riley.
