Olga Kurylenko

[adams7]

Olga gets another movie! And it looks like it's just what she wanted.


Kirot - an action movie where she will be a hitwoman. To start this summer after Bond Quantum of Solace filming is finished.

According to other things I read a few weeks ago, she had at least 3 other proposed movie productions that were interested in her.

I think she might be trying to get onto that cycle where an actor does a big movie, then a small one, and so on, to get a lot of different role types.

From Columbia Pictures:

"...Producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli of EON Productions Ltd, Sony Pictures Entertainment and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios announced today the start of principal photography on the 22nd 'James Bond' adventure. Daniel Craig reprises his role as 007 in the film which is directed by Marc Forster and follows the success of Casino Royale, the latest and highest grossing film in the series.

Starring alongside Craig is an impressive international cast led by the critically acclaimed French actor Mathieu Amalric as the sinister villain, and the Ukranian actress Olga Kurylenko who plays 007's leading lady.

Returning to Bond 22 (working title) from Casino Royale are Judi Dench in her role as M, Jeffrey Wright as Felix Leiter and Giancarlo Giannini as Mathis. Newcomer to the Bond franchise, Gemma Arterton, will play the role of MI6 Agent Fields.

Commenting on the announcement, Wilson and Broccoli said, "We are fortunate to continue in the Bond tradition of attracting the finest international actors for our starring roles. Mathieu in the role of Dominic Greene, a leading member of the villainous organization introduced in 'Casino Royale,' will be a powerful counterpart to Daniel's portrayal of Bond. Olga Kurylenko will play the dangerously alluring Camille, who challenges Bond and helps him come to terms with the emotional consequences of Vesper's betrayal."

MGM and Sony Pictures will share distribution rights worldwide with Columbia Pictures and Sony Pictures Releasing International distributing the film to theaters worldwide on November 7th, 2008. Marc Forster directs the screenplay by Neal Purvis & Robert Wade and Paul Haggis. The unit includes Production Designer Dennis Gassner, Director of Photography Roberto Schaefer, Editors Matt Chesse and Rick Pearson, and 2nd Unit Director Dan Bradley.

Mathieu Amalric, one of France's leading screen stars, is best known for his roles as Jean-Dominique Bauby in Julian Schnabel's award-winning film, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, and as the French information broker, Louis, in Steven Spielberg's Munich. Last year, he was awarded Best Actor at France's Cesar Awards for his role in the internationally acclaimed comedy Kings and Queen, directed by Arnaud Desplechin. Previously, Amalric won the Cesar for Most Promising Actor for his role in Desplechin's My Sex Life.

Amalric began his career as an actor in 1984, appearing in Otar Losseliani's Les favoris de la lune, and went on to serve as an assistant director to Louis Malle on Au Revoir Les Enfants. As an actor, he has since worked with many leading directors including Andre Techine, Olivier Assayas, Jean-Claude Biette and the Larrieu Brothers. His latest films include Desplechin's Un conte de Noel, Claude Miller's Un Secret, Nicolas Klotz's Heart Beat Detector, Valeria Bruni Tedeschi's Actrices and Vincent Dieutre's Fragments sur le grace. He also appeared in Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette. Amalric has written and directed a number of films including Wimbledon Stage and, most recently, the documentary short Let Them Grow Up Here. This year, he directs Tournee, about American burlesque girls on tour in France.

Olga Kurylenko recently co-starred opposite Timothy Olyphant in Hitman and opposite Elijah Wood in Paris, je t'aime. She also appeared in starring roles in Eric Barbier's thriller The Serpent and Diane Bertrand's The Ring Finger, for which she received the Best Actress award at The Brooklyn International Film Festival in 2006. She recently had a role in Tyranny, directed by John Beck Hofman.

On French television, multi-lingual Kurylenko appeared in the mini-series "Suspectes" and the drama "The Good Luck Charm."

In her career as a top European model, Kurylenko has appeared in numerous advertising campaigns, including Kenzo, Helena Rubenstein and Just Cavalli. Her magazine covers include US Glamour, French Elle, Madame Figaro and Marie Claire.

Gemma Arterton graduated from the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts (RADA) and made her film debut with Dame Maggie Smith and David Walliams in Stephen Poliakoff's "Capturing Mary" for BBC Films. She currently stars in the hit British comedy St. Trinian's. Arterton recently made her professional stage debut as Rosalind in "Love's Labour's Lost" at Shakespeare's Globe Theatre..."

I'm glad Olga's getting film roles. But I do hope she eventually gets a role where she can try her acting talent, as oppose to just being an action heroine.

Olga Kurylenko For The Weekend

[adams7]

I made a music video showing Olga K in a 2006 French movie.


It's on these 2 sites, do a search on Olga in Le Serpent on either one and it should come up:

http://youtube.com

http://viddler.com - looks & sounds better on Viddler (with occasional minor sound quality problems)

Comments welcome. It's PG but maybe not safe at your work as it's a bit steamy.

The movie DVD was just released in a subtitled English version in Britain and maybe it will eventually come to North America.

Here is a capture from one of the video images:

 

[rouge_red]

wow she looks so different!

 

[crow_watcher]

Adams 7 - Nicely done. She looks good on film.

 

[adams7]

Thanks Crow, those videos take a surprising amount of work but making them can be addictive. Olga does look a lot different in that movie compared to the modelling photos, and even the recent Bond interview and on-set images. It is always amazing to me how many different looks they can give models and actors.

Not much news of photos of Olga for a while as she's on the Bond movie set and the reporters seem to be more interested in the other Bond girl Gemma Arterton (who maybe has spilled a few plot details accidentally). Maybe when they move the filming location to Europe there will be more coverage.

The James Bond movie fans are getting antsy waiting for the first trailer which is to be shown before the movie "Hancock" in July.

So happy she's a Bond girl

 

[teza]

Can't wait to see her as a Bond girl. I think she'll be perfect!

 

[adams7]

Here is Olga in her first scene in Hitman in this DVD snap that I Photoshopped. They probably did this scene a year ago in Sofia Bulgaria:

And here she is with Daniel Craig 007 in a picture taken by Panama visitors about 2 weeks ago and posted in their blog, they had their sailboat docked near where the movie crew was shooting scenes for Quantum of Solace.

Now they are in Chile shooting scenes in the desert, mountains, & coast in a very dry area. In about 2 weeks they go to Italy.

^I hope the chemistry between the two is worth watching.

Here is Olga in an interview from Chile, done about 3 weeks ago.
Such a sweetie!

Here is another video, from the same place which is the residence building being used as one of the movie locations, it is part of a big astronomy observatory complex on a mountain in central Chile. At the end of this video you can see Olga jump off the roof onto a balcony below. She has a safety cable but there are no cushions on the ground 3 stories below.

Both videos are from the recent Sony/Eon press conference for the movie Quantum of Solace, uploaded by James Bond forum user Marketto.
