New ‘Bond Girl’ Announced
Being a ‘Bond Girl’ is a chance of a lifetime for many actresses. Those who do get the part are gorgeous and of course can kick some serious butt – most of the time. We have it on good authority that the new Bond girl will be Ukranian Olga Kurylenko.
The film, which is the 22nd in the series that dates back to 1962’s “Dr. No,” is due in theaters in November and stars Daniel Craig as the dashing British spy who regularly saves the world from a destructive evil villain. The Ukrainian actress joins a long list of leading ladies to be cast alongside the super spy including Ursula Andress in “Dr No,” Halle Berry, Kim Basinger and most recently Eva Green in “Casino Royale,” which grossed nearly $600 million in worldwide ticket sales.
In the past, being a “Bond girl” has given actresses massive exposure and launched lucrative careers. A former model, Kurylenko was most recently seen alongside Timothy Olyphant in last November’s “Hitman.”
