Olga Kurylenko With All-New Ford Ka on Bond Flm Set - Panama |
Brentwood, Essex, August 15, 2008 – The highly-anticipated
new James Bond adventure, ‘Quantum of Solace’, will feature a cameo appearance
from Ford’s fresh-faced new model, the all-new Ford Ka.
Ford’s cheeky new small car will make its screen debut alongside the film's
beautiful but feisty leading lady, Olga Kurylenko. Kurylenko plays Camille, a
woman with her own personal mission and who quickly becomes an unlikely ally for
Bond.
The 'Quantum of Solace' Ka is unique with metallic gold paint and an
exclusive exterior graphics and interior trim combination.
“The new Ka is the perfect match for the character of Camille – adventurous,
individual and thoroughly modern,” says Ford of Europe’s Chief Operating
Officer, Stephen Odell. “We are delighted that the launch of the film coincides
with the launch of such a significant new model for Ford of Europe.”
The special ‘Quantum of Solace’ Ka was created by Ford of Europe’s Design
team, in collaboration with the movie’s Oscar ® award-winning production
designer, Dennis Gassner. The Ka’s cameo continues Ford of Europe's relationship
with the James Bond films, following the debut appearance of the latest Ford
Mondeo, in the 2006 blockbuster, ‘Casino Royale’.
Twelve years after the original Ford Ka wowed customers with its modern
spirit and what has proved to be a remarkably age-less design, its successor
looks set to repeat its impact.
The new model retains all the qualities which made the Ka so popular –
compact size, great looks, lively dynamics and fun personality – but presents
them in a fresh new package. Further technical details of the new Ford Ka will
be revealed closer to launch later in 2008.
‘Quantum of Solace’ is produced for EON Productions by Michael G. Wilson and
Barbara Broccoli and distributed by Sony Pictures Entertainment.
Directed by Marc Forster, the film stars Daniel Craig as the legendary secret
agent, James Bond and opens in the UK and France on October 31st, then across
the rest of Europe during November 2008.
The all-new Ka enjoys the spotlight of its own at the 2008 Paris Motor Show,
on October 2.
