Exclusive banner: Skyfall Bond girl Bérénice Marlohe

The good folks at Sony have sent us a rather this rather lovely new 'Skyfall' banner, featuring Bond babe Bérénice Marlohe. Consider it our early Christmas present to you.

Have a look below.

We reckon Bérénice looks very nice in a black dress, but then that's probably a prerequisite for a Bond girl.

There's not much else to report here, so we dug out a few extra facts about 007's latest love interest to fill out the space. So, did you know that…

…she won the role of Severine in 'Skyfall' without the help of an agent.

…her favourite actor is Christopher Walken, because he's "quarter alien".

…Xenia Onatopp, who crushed fellas between her thighs in 'GoldenEye', is her number one Bond girl.

Update: our banner is one part of a monstrous 'Skyfall' poster that also shows Daniel Craig, Javier Bardem, Naomie Harris and, umm, the logo. Check it out below.

'Skyfall' is released in the UK on October 26 2012. For the latest 'Skyfall' news check out the Facebook page.
