Olga Kurylenko: Mandrake hears that the 28-year-old Ukrainian actress has been enjoying a passionate affair with the film's dashing director, Marc Forster.

"Marc is, as we say in the film business, an actors' director," says Anne Bennett, of Eon, which has produced the film.

"All the actors on the set really got on with him. As far as Olga and Marc are concerned, it's their private lives and I don't want to comment on their personal relationship. They, are, however, both single people."

Olga, who plays Camille, a Russian-Bolivian agent, divorced her second husband, Damien Gabrielle, a mobile phone entrepreneur, at the end of last year. "I will never belong to anyone," she declared recently.

Forster, 39, who is best known for directing the Oscar-winning Monster's Ball, lived with a girlfriend in 2002 but once commented of his relationships: "When you work so much and travel so much, it's hard to keep them."

This may not be any new imagery, since we've seen it in the trailer before, but Sony has officially released a new teaser poster for Quantum of Solace that you'll find on the wall in your local theater this weekend when you go see The Dark Knight.

On the James Bond set
‘Quantum of Solace‘ filming began in January and has taken the crew from Britain to Panama to this moonlike landscape in northern Chile, which is standing in for Bolivia.
