Bond Girl Gemma Arterton Covered in Oil for 'Quantum of Solace'

It turns out that Quantum of Solace isn't completely ditching the old James Bond ways. After learning that 007 would not introduce himself with the famous "Bond, James Bond," and that he would no longer order a dry vodka martini, shaken not stirred, it looked as though Bond was not interested in his rear-view mirror.

But in the new film, Gemma Arterton, who plays an MI6 agent like Bond, is, killed by the baddies (under the direction of Mathieu Amalric). I'd call that a spoiler, but since these photos were published...I don't think we can come to any other conclusion.

That is some carbon footprint she's leaving. Bondphiles will notice the extreme similarity to one of the unforgettable images in the spy's movie history, that of Jill Masterson's dead body painted in gold in Goldfinger. The $300 an ounce body covering has changed to oil for Quantum of Solace, although I don't suspect Agent Fields died wrestling another woman in a swimming pool filled with the stuff. Would that it were, though...

Says Arterton of her fateful day, "I couldn’t move. I couldn’t see, I couldn’t breathe or hear because it went in my ears. It was unpleasant, but it’s something I’ll always remember and it will be an iconic part of the film."

Watch Gemma Arterton die for reals (and, according to the article, make out with Daniel Craig, too) in Quantum of Solace, due in theaters on November 14th.
