Bond has evil and good inside him now,” he explained. “The ambiguity is good. I love this film — Bond is like a broken heart in it.”
Broken and wretched he may be, but that doesn’t stop Bond using his manly wiles in the movie. Most complex is his relationship with Bond girl Camille — played by Olga Kurylenko — a woman who is just as secretive and complex as he is. As well as a desire for revenge, the pair share a steely determination to get exactly what they want and will go to any lengths to ensure their ultimate aim is finally met.
“Finding beautiful girls who can act can be tricky but we narrowed it down and Olga just nailed the audition, she was fantastic,” Daniel reveals. “She is a really good actress, plus she is beautiful, so it just fitted. She has this fantastic icy detachment about her, which is really essential for this part because both she and Bond are on this journey of revenge. They become reluctant partners and that makes for a very interesting relationship.”
Olga has previously admitted she was drawn to the part of Camille as she “isn’t a typical Bond girl” — she may be beautiful, but she is also intelligent, strong and determined.
Packed full of bitterness, revenge and recriminations it may be, but there are also plenty of light-hearted moments in ‘Quantum of Solace’. Gemma Arterton’s straight-laced character Agent Fields offers plenty of them, not least when she succumbs to Bond’s flirting within hours of meeting him.
The British actress has been open about her sex-scene with Daniel, which was actually the first part of the film she shot.
“Kissing Daniel was great — I can’t pretend it wasn’t,” Gemma said.
Although Gemma’s role in the film is somewhat brief, she is blessed with one scene which will go down in Bond history. The actress appears lying on a bed naked and covered in oil, and admits it as only the thought of how good the scene would look in the finished film which got her through shooting it.
