Olga Kurlyenko who previously starred in Hitman is to be 007's sidekick for the still untitled Bond flick. The article from Reuters mentions that 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.
She will star opposite British actor Daniel Craig who made his first appearance as the secret agent in "Casino Royale"
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." Looks like they're trying to get a more diverse stereotype model for the Bond girl. This is a refreshing change from the blond blue eyed model.
