Bond game gets Bond actors

Activision has secured the services of pretty much all the major actors from Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace for its upcoming James Bond game.

Daniel Craig leads the way as Bond himself, backed up by Judi Dench, while Eva Green and Mads Mikkelsen also star as Vesper Lynd and Le Chiffre respectively.

From that you can infer a bit of overlap with Casino Royale, but the game obviously focuses on Quantum of Solace and for that they have Mathieu Amalric as Dominic Greene and Olga Kurylenko as Bond's new lady-friend, Olga Kurylenko.

Mark Lamia, boss of developer Treyarch, claims the studio had "unprecedented access to the key talent from the movie", although anyone who's seen the Hitman film might question just how much access there's left to be precedented in Kurylenko's case.

The Quantum of Solace game is due out on PS3 and 360 from Treyarch, while Beenox Studios is doing the Wii and PC versions, Vicarious Visions is doing DS and Eurocom is working on the PS2 release.

Expect Quantum of Solace's release date to line up with the film's, which is 31st October in the UK, and check out our James Bond: Quantum of Solace preview for more information. We actually would with Daniel Craig. Dunno about you.
