Apparently, Olga Kurylenko Would Rather Be Naked Than... Anything Else

Last year's Bond babe and budding Hollywood It Girl is rapidly disappearing from the movie world.

In the months since the release of "Bond 22" (i.e.... and it still bothers us to say this... Quantum of Solace), Olga Kurylenko has all but vanished from the spotlight. Then again, if you've been keeping an eye on the internet for her seemingly relentless yet obscure photo shoots, you have been seeing a lot more of her than usual.

Her in-production film credit is this one:

Orlando Bloom, Vincent Cassel (Eastern Promises) and Olga Kurylenko (Quantum of Solace) have signed on to star in The Cross, which will be directed by Andrew Niccol (Lord of War).

According to Variety, Niccol has initiated pre-production on the $24 million sci-fi escape story.

Set in a border town, The Cross returns Niccol -- Oscar-nommed for writing The Truman Show -- to his favorite domain: the near future. Bloom plays a man seeking to cross a mysterious border, something no one else has achieved; Cassel limns the guard who will go to any lengths to foil him. Kurylenko takes the femme lede. [MovieWeb]

Yeah, uh... we'll wait with bated breath for that one...

Anyway, she also continues to do what she does best, namely this photo shoot... and these...

More Olga Kurylenko Nude Photos Surface

When Olga Kurylenko appeared onscreen during Quantum of Solace for the first time, we had two thoughts: "Wow, that was the first time we've seen a Bond girl naked before her career took off" and "She's so much more attractive without all the bad lighting and photoshopping offscreen..."

These photos prove that, as bad as Marc Forster's storytelling technique was, at least he made Olga look hotter than she does in these lousy pictorals...

Not that we're complaining about these photos, but they don't do her justice.

Some Advice for Future Bond Girls: No More Bikinis

Nicole Pasulka — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 19:48:00 GMT

As much as it pains us to say this, Bond women should probably stick to wetsuits and one-pieces from now on. According to SpoutBlog, Bond women who wear bikinis die at a rate of 45%. That's five out of eleven, for those of you not so good with percentages. We all remember Solange Dimitrios from Casino Royale because that was like yesterday and she was like so so dynamite, but what about the other four?

Spout's got a list of who got offed and how, and we've got our own favorite Bond beachwear moment:

Sure Jill Masterson is totally lovely in Goldfinger and we were so sad to see her skin suffocate after being covered in gold paint, but the real star of this scene is Bond's onesie. Seriously ladies, if you want to stay alive, just pull that little uniform out of the closet and you'll live to die another day...sometime after the movie ends.

Top 10 Bond Girls Of All-Time

Our personal preference is for Lois Chiles, who plays Holly Goodhead (what's wrong that name? huh?) in Moonraker (seen above), but these ten are unquestionably hot on every level. Together, they make it a tough act to follow for Olga, Gemma and their new movie, Quantum of Solace, which opens today in America....

10. Domino Petacchi (played by Kim Basinger) in Never Say Never Again

9. Lupe Lamora (played by Talisa Soto) in License To Kill

8. Domino (played by Claudine Auger) in Thunderball, who is not only one of her favorite Bond girls but one of the hottest women ever

7. Jinx (played by Halle Berry) in Die Another Day

6. Pam Bouvier (played by Carrie Lowell-- yes, Richard Gere's wife and the cutest of all Bond girls) in License To Kill

5. Plenty O'Toole (played by Lana Wood) in Diamonds Are Forever. While Jill St. John and her totally radical hair were more of a distraction for us while watching this, hearing Sean Connery moan "Oh, Plenty" or Lana's character is the trump card in this Vegas thriller.

4. Pussy Galore (played by Honor Blackman) in Goldfinger. How the hell did they get away with a name like that in the Production Code era? Well, we're all the better for it, somehow. We're not sure how, but anyway, this list isn't complete without her presence... and oh, how we dig that raspy voice...

3. Solange (played by Caterina Murino) in Casino Royale. Perhaps the only complaint we heard about the most recent classic Bond thriller (and it was classic, no question) was that Solange doesn't get laid and (SPOILER ALERT) doesn't make it past her handful of early scenes. We can't argue with that, although the scene featuring Murino riding a horse is pleasure enough for one PG-13 film.

2. Tracy Draco (played by Diana Rigg) in On Her Majesty's Secret Service, arguably the best Bond film and the only one starring Australian model/actor George Lazenby as 007. This is one hell of an entertainment-- Telly Savalas as the villain, a bunch of exercise vixens as brainwashed assassins, Bond gets married, and the tragic finale are not nearly as memorable as watching Miss Emma Peel in the throes of passion with James Bond.

1. Honey Ryder (played by Ursula Andress) in Dr. No. There's a reason Bond became famous... and it's not Sean Connery. Well, okay, it's Sean Connery, the whole "Bond, James Bond" line, some decent movies, and so forth. But would Dr. No have been the massive hit it was if Ursula Andress had not come out of the ocean in that bikini? We think not....

New Gemma Arterton Sex Scene Steams Us Up For Bond 22

Brian Fairbanks — Mon, 15 Sep 2008 19:41:00 GMT

Gemma Arterton may not be the sexiest but she is inarguably the cutest Bond Girl ever cast. We were already dying to see Bond 22 (aka "Quantum of Solace"-- ugh, come on, what is it, directed by George Lucas?) without her involvement and now, with her casting and the following screencaps and sex scene clip from her latest film, we're positively foaming at the mouth...

Exclusive full-length version of the scene below. If that's down for any reason, you can watch another, lower-quality version here.

Above is a screenshot from the minute-long sex fest. Here's Gemma in bed with that dude from the BBC version of The Office, who is the luckiest nebbish alive:

The hell with that... back to the sex scene.

New Bond Movie Should Have Stuck With "Bond 22"

Bryan Christian — Fri, 25 Jan 2008 13:00:00 GMT

All right, if you have been paying attention to this blog, you will have noticed that we have been totally excited about the next Bond film -- in part, because we've been hoping that they would hammer out the kinks they ran into during the first go-round with Daniel Craig, and in part because the ladies they've tapped for roles in the movie have been so. Freaking. Hot.

Then, yesterday, we learn that the new Bond film is gonna be called Quantum of Solace.

Quantum.

Of.

Solace.

And also, we see that they've given new Bond girls Gemma Arterton and Olga Kurylenko some seriously crappy haircuts.

What.

The.

Fuck?

We get it. At least, we think we get the title, anyways. Bond -- after having his heart broken by -- SPOILER!!! --Vesper Lynd in Casino Royale is looking for a modicum -- some might say a "quantum" -- of solace in... what? Bloody Revenge? The ripe buttocks and supple lips of the lovely ladies who've been cast in the flick? OK, fair enough. And yet. It's sort of... how do we say this... the WORST TITLE EVER.

WORST.

EVER.

Right?
