Olga Kurylenko: The Bond Girl

You beat out 400 other actresses to land this role. Were you a bag of nerves in your audition?
After I got the role, Marc [Forster] said, “So, tell me one thing. How come you were so calm at the audition?” I [said], “What do you mean?” He said, “Well, the other girls, they came in and they were freaking out. And you came in and I said, ‘Wow, she just doesn’t give a shit, she’s so cool.’” I said, “I was freaking out!” I was nervous but I also said to myself, if I was going to show that I’m nervous, I would not get the part. You have to take yourself in hand.

Was it ever a dream of yours to be a Bond girl growing up in the Ukraine?
No. I didn’t think it’s possible. I was too far away from it.

CommanderBond.net has posted an interview the producers of Quantum of Solace , Barbara Broccoli And Michael G. Wilson. In it they speak a lot of Olga.

Be warned of potential plot spoilers.

Q: What about Olga Kurylenko?

BROCCOLI: She appeared completely out of the blue because we were originally looking for a Latin actress but the casting director felt she was so special and so unique ands said ‘you have to see this girl…’ She had been in Hitman and so we adapted the role specifically for her. So in the story she has a Russian mother and a Latin father so we tailored the role to suit her.

Now that the next Harry Potter installment won’t be opening at Thanksgiving, Sony and MGM have jumped on the chance to bow its Bond pic Quantum of Solace a week later than planned.

Solace will be released on Nov. 14 instead of Nov. 7.

Bond titles have traditionally opened the weekend before Thanksgiving, but Sony didn’t want to open too close to Warner Bros.’ Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, so it originally settled on Nov. 7.

But the landscape changed last week when Warners announced it was pushing back Half-Blood Prince from Nov. 21 to July. (Studio made the move to even out its slate considering the gargantuan success of The Dark Knight.)

Summit Entertainment was the first to respond by moving Catherine Hardwicke’s vampire pic Twilight to Nov. 21. … Read the full story »
