Oil is the New Gold.
SPOILER ALERT: James Bond fans that don’t want to know ANYTHING about the next movie SHOULDN’T read this post.
If you’re a true James Bond fan, you remember the scene in 1964’s Goldfinger when Shirley Eaton is asphyxiated in pure gold for betraying her boss.
Well in a super-clever update to that concept, Quantum Of Solace’s Gemma Arterton’s will be drowned by oil. Ewwwwww. I’m impressed that the actress agreed to do it. She has more faith in special effects people than I do; those are the sorts of moments in film-making where four days later the actress gets incredibly sick and goes into a coma and the filmmakers throw up their hands and go, "whoops, I didn’t know that black sludge we poured on her could do that."
Anyway, here’s the pic.
Quantom of Solace comes out November 14th.
