Gemma Arterton wishes her character hadn’t been killed off in ‘Quantum of Solace‘ because she would love to make another James Bond movie.

The British actress played Agent Strawberry Fields, who died after saving the suave spy, and Gemma had such a great experience making the movie she wishes she could work on the new film – which will be directed by Sam Mendes.

Few knew her name when she was cast as James Bond’s latest female foil in the 2008 film “Quantum of Solace”, but the role of Strawberry Fields was about to launch Gemma Arterton’s career in to the stratosphere.

A graduate of RADA and a regular with the Royal Shakespeare Company, Gemma had only just made her first big screen appearance in “St. Trinian’s” when she was beckoned by director Marc Forster for a screen test. The rest, as they say, is history. After bedding Bond and coming to a sticky end, Gemma’s character won the hearts of fans as a throw-back to the classic style of Ian Fleming’s heroines.

In an interview published by MI6 Confidential magazine, Gemma explained how she wanted to bring a bit of edge to her character. “We wanted to make her really retro and a bit of a throwback. It’s typically Fleming and a little bit tongue in cheek,” she said. “She wore a typical raincoat and yet in one scene she didn’t have anything on underneath. We tried to make her straight laced but with a real naughty edge to her.”

A TIGHT red top and a tiny pair of hotpants gave gorgeous Gemma Arterton her sexiest entrance since she was a Bond girl.

It’s an unforgettable moment in her new film Tamara Drewe – and has even been used on the movie’s poster.

The film has only been released in France but is already a huge hit.

But Gemma, who starred alongside 007 Daniel Craig in Quantum Of Solace, says she’ll remember the sexy scene as one of her most uncomfortable.

“I’m such a prude,” laughs Britain’s rising star. Read the rest of this entry »

2010 est une année faste pour l’actrice anglaise, à l’affiche de grosses distributions hollywoodiennes comme Prince of Persia et Le Choc des titans. Et brille dans deux films indépendants très réussis: La Disparition d’Alice Creed, de J. Blakeson, et le désopilant Tamara Drewe, de Stephen Frears.

Allô? Je suis dans le métro, à Londres, dit-elle d’une voix rauque. Vous m’entendez?” On entend parfaitement. On est aussi étonné: Gemma Arterton n’a donc pas de chauffeur? “Non, je déteste ça: on se sent coupé du monde.” Et c’est ce qu’il y a de terriblement attirant chez cette actrice, qui passe des blockbusters -Le Choc des titans, Prince of Persia- à des films indépendants, “so british” comme elle le dit si bien avec son accent cockney. Elle a beau avoir joué Shakespeare sur les planches, donné la réplique à Daniel Craig dans le dernier James Bond, Gemma, 24 ans, écoute toujours sa maman, femme de ménage, et son papa, ouvrier métallurgiste: “J’étais si fière d’avoir tourné des films à gros budget… Ils les ont trouvés nuls!” Read the rest of this entry »

She came to fame as a Bond girl in Quantum of solace and as a pin-up college girl in St Trinian’s thanks to her exotic and feline looks. Yet she does not consider herself particularly beautiful: “I don’t understand why they offer me these ‘hot girl’ parts”, she confesses. “At school, I was considered the intellectual of the group. I had a passion for French cinema”.

She alternates work on major productions with independent films, because she wants to earn a reputation as a “serious actress”. And she is not offended when asked about the famous kiss on set with Daniel Craig; indeed, she is amused and says: “We shook hands and immediately we were kissing away. I’m a lucky girl!”
