The Corsham club have also been playing host to the BBC this week as filming continues for an adaptation of Thomas Hardy’s Tess of the D’Urbervilles. The production, whose cast includes new Bond girl Gemma Arterton and Anna Massey, have been utilising the rugby club as a base unit while filming in the Corsham locality.

The Daily Mail has an interview with Mackenzie Crook about Three And Out today. There’s a mention to Gemma in it.

Frankie, his love interest, is played by 22-year-old St Trinian’s star Gemma Arterton, one of the UK’s hottest young actresses. It was during the filming of Three And Out that Arterton learned she’d been cast in the next 007 movie, Quantum Of Solace. How did Crook feel about beating Bond to the girl?

He smirks. “She’s not the new Bond girl – she’s the new Crook girl.”

Crook says filming the sex scene was “far from erotic”, which must have been of some comfort to wife Lindsay, a former advertising executive with whom he has two children, five-year old Jude and three-month-old Scout.

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 is featured in V magazine’s Spring issue. It has Gwen Stefani on the cover. I have gotten this magazine and scanned it for us. I will be making a transcript when I have the time. Please do not redistribute these as it was very expensive!

Gemma talks about her role in RocknRolla, St. Trinnian’s and acting background.
