Stunning Ukrainian actress Olga Kurylenko Hollywood stars will be shining in the East of England as the new James Bond film is shot in Bucks and its environs while Pirates of the Caribbean heartthrob Orlando Bloom judges the work of budding Norwich film-makers. Stunning Ukrainian actress Olga Kurylenko will be unveiled – figuratively speaking – as mysterious new Bond girl, Camille, as Pinewood Studios in Bucks starts shooting the new 007 movie, Quantum of Solace. Orlando Bloom has meanwhile been casting his eyes over ‘Sufferers’ – a mini movie made by young people working with BEAT in Norwich that has been nominated in the Best Mediabox Film section of the First Light Movies Awards 2008. Bloom is one of the judges and has checked out ‘Sufferers’ – a documentary that sees a group of 15-19-year-old young women who suffer from eating disorders talk about their experiences. The winners will be announced in early March. First Light Movies provides funding and expertise to help five to 19-year-olds, throughout the UK from all backgrounds, create their own films using National Lottery money from the UK Film Council.
