Daniel Craig and the rest of the Quantum of Solace cast headed to Panama recently to continue shooting for the 22nd Bond film.

Shooting for the movie began at Pinewood studios near London in January, and besides Panama, the rest of it will take place in Austria, Italy and Chile.

Quantum of Solace picks up where 2006’s Casino Royale left off and sees James Bond battle environmentalist Dominic Greene, a member of a cover organisation called Green Planet, linked to the death of Bond’s true love Vesper Lynd which was played by Eva green.

Bond is assisted in his revenge by Camille who also has a vendetta against Greene.

Says actor Olga Kurylenko, “I think the set is beautiful, it’s stunning, I really love it. Finally the real fun is starting.”

I have rounded up some quotes Olga has said about her character Camille in the upcoming Quantum of Solace.

“I think James Bond still carries Vesper in his heart. Camille might be there to distract him… But maybe not!”

“James Bond is after revenge, and Camille is after revenge. They have slightly different goals, but in the end, they are going to have to collaborate. She will be very different. She’s a fighter. I’m doing weapons training and body flight training for aerial scenes and stunt work for fighting. This girl is going to kick ass. She’s on her own mission. In the movie, he is obviously still attached to his past. The appearance of this new girl might divert him. Or, it might not.”

Daniel Craig was interviewed about the film by OK! Magazine and he had this to say about his new Bond love interest.

Twenty-eight-year-old Olga portrays Camille, who is, “very driven. She has her own mission in the movie and of course, she comes across Bond. They are opponents and then they have to work together. She’s very feisty.”

Last but not least there is some new behind the scenes footage here. No Olga though.

According to Reuters, producers for the upcoming James Bond movie Quantum of Solace said on Friday they have scratched plans to film near the Inca ruins at Machu Picchu — Peru’s top tourist site — due to bad weather.

Filming for the 22nd Bond movie, starring Daniel Craig, Olga Kurylenko, Mathieu Amalric, Judi Dench, Gemma Arterton, Jeffrey Wright, Jesper Christensen and Joaquin Cosio, had been set to start early this month in Cuzco, a city in southeastern Peru near the ancient Incan citadel.

“They decided not to come because of climatic conditions. They couldn’t be sure it wouldn’t rain and they have very tight time,” said Margarita Morales, director of Iguana Productions, a Peruvian company hired to assist with filming.
