Just caught this, from Yahoo News:
Olga Kurylenko Wants to Appear in the New James Bond Film
The Ukrainian-born actress had "so much fun" shooting 'Quantum of Solace' opposite Daniel Craig - who plays the British spy - wouldn't hesitate to reprise her role as Camille if producers want her.
She said: "It wouldn't be for me to decide, but I'd go for it because when we filmed last year it was so much fun. Why would I refuse that fun again?"
Olga added it took her a while to develop the qualities needed to be a good Bond girl, which included overcoming many of her fears for the stunt-filled role.
She said: "To be a Bond girl you need courage, charm, determination and feistiness.
"Outside of work, I've done nothing daring - I don't even go on roller coasters. In character, you have to work through the fear and the nausea.
"I'd never do it in my own life, so I just think, 'Hey, this is your chance, do it now.' "
Olga's training included simulated skydives, which the 29-year-old says initially hurt.
She added to Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper: "It made me hurt in places I didn't even know I had muscles. But then I was doing it three times a week. By the end I was flying on my back and could do flips."
Personally, I thought Camille was a great character and I wouldn't mind seeing her again--especially as her relationship with Bond ended somewhat anticlimactically--but I highly doubt the producers would bring her back: the tradition of a new Bond girl in each film is pretty well established. But let's hope they don't get the idea of a dumb Camille spin-off movie!

Her character would IMNO of been a second female lead in another Bond film.Someone out for revenge who Bond helps while He moves in on the leading lady.
So not for the next film but after that Fine,It would be intresting to see Bonds character dealing with Camille who has shared his pain and emotions but not his bed. Well not yet :007)
Maybe they could use her in the PTS to Bond 23; give us a standalone mini-adventure ala what we got at the start of GF, TB, OP or TSWLM, with Bond being aided by and then finally bedding the lovely Ms. Kurylenko (along with a suitable Bondian line about catching up on some "unfinished business"), cut to the credits, and thereafter segue into a whole new story.
But it could work, perhaps, for #24; it would be nice (and refreshing) for Craig's Bond to have a female ally without the sexual baggage...or maybe they finally get together. Either way can be effective if done right.

I'm telling you DC is cursed!
He slept with Solange, she was killed.
He slept with Vesper, she was killed (by herself
He slept with Agent Fields, she was killed.
If he sleeps with 'Camille' then I would put my money on her being killed aswell.
Well, by all accounts, Bond didn't sleep with Zukovsky, Kerim Bey or Mathis...and they didn't fare any better for it

Agreed. Olga was OK but I see no need for her to return. There's too many other gorgeous Bond girls for 007 to meet. Sometimes less can be more and EON should let Camille be "the one that got away."
Oh bravo! I couldn't have said it better. I like the way you put that.
Also, if she were to return, she would probably have to die, and that usually brings in this revenge factor, which I think can sit for a few years...
We always hear this - The Jinx character (Halle Berry) was to appear again and even get her own spin off series.
