Bond girl Olga Kurylenko has boarded action-thriller Kirot as a prostitute turned hit woman out for revenge, announced producer Ehud Bleiberg in Berlin.
Bleiberg Entertainment will co-produce the feature, with a budget thought to be under $10 million, along with French shingle DPI.
Danny Lerner (Frozen Days) will write and helm the project, set to start lensing Aug. 1 in Europe and Israel.
“It’s a mix between Thelma & Louise and La Femme Nikita, ” said Bleiberg. “It’s a great story about friendship and taking your destiny into your own hands.”

Born in the Ukraine in 1979, Olga Kurylenko moved to Paris when she was 16 to pursue a career as a model and actress. Roles in Paris Je T’Aime, Le Serpent and videogame adaptation Hitman followed, leading to the part of Bond girl Camille in Quantum of Solace. IGN caught up with her on the film’s set last week to discuss weapons, stunts and the side effects of taking on such an iconic role.
Tell us a little bit about Camille.
Olga Kurylenko: She is a strong, feisty, independent woman. She is out there on her mission, driven by revenge.
How deep is her relationship with Bond?

How did you get the role?

Olga is looking might fierce on the cover of FHM March 2008 (UK Edition)!
Having breathed new life into a stale franchise, 2006’s Casino Royale has become something of a yardstick in 007 circles. It had an ice-cool new Bond. A credible storyline, free of caricatured baddies. Even a somersaulting Aston Martin. There’s no doubt about it - it’s going to be a tough one to top.
But things are definitely looking up, largely thanks to this lady - Olga Kurylenko. From the moment we heard the Ukranian ex-model had signed up to play Camille, things started looking brighter for Quantum of Solace. But it wasn’t until we put her in front of our cameras that we realised just how hot Bond’s new girl is. As you can see, Daniel Craig’s going to have his work cut out keeping his mind on the job.
To see the rest of Olga’s exclusive cover shoot, grab the March issue of FHM, on shelves January 31st. Extra tidbit: This is the same photoset published last December in the US Edition. Luckily the cover shot was unpublished, so heres to hoping the rest of the pics are new as well!

Update: I’m sorry to announce but I will not be able to bring you scans from this magazine, please seek out the issue yourself at a store or online shop such as ebay to see Olga’s feature. I’m sure it will be worth the buy!

I have uploaded a one page scan of Olga Kurylenko from the Brazilian magazine Quem, the January 18th issue. It features a “top 10″ list of memorable Bond girls, and while she isn’t credited on the list they say she very well could be (and I agree!). It was donated for Olga Kurylenko online by the site EvaGreenWeb.com, please credit if you repost this!
