James Bond Bosses Dithering Over Amy Winehouse Theme Tune - Beyoncé Instead?
May 25, 2008 by Dave Parrack
I’ve been avoiding talking about Amy Winehouse and her efforts to become the next Bond girl, well singer of the theme tune at least, mainly because it was just speculation and I wanted to wait until the official announcement was made.
But this isn’t that, instead it’s more rumour, speculation and gossip about it all… I just couldn’t resist.
It’s been known for a while that bosses of the latest Bond film, Quantum of Solace have been looking at Winehouse as a possible candidate for the theme tune. First it was on, then off (with the studio heads probably concerned about the negative connection with drink and drugs and a jailbird husband) and still nothing has been decided.
Winehouse and Mark Ronson, her friend and producer are reported to have fallen out earlier in the month while trying to record the theme together, with Ronson claiming in the press that she wasn’t ready to make music. But now it seems that they are mates again, and back trying to come up with a winning theme song.
