Bond 22 - Quantum of Solace

Leona Lewis is reportedly in talks to record the theme tune for the new James Bond film, Quantum of Solace.
Leona’s manager Simon Cowell is said to have suggested to the movie’s producers she would be great given that she has had huge success in both the UK and US.
It was last month that former Destiny’s Child star Beyonce Knowles was in talks to record the track after troubled singer Amy Winehouse pulled out.
Amy, 24, reportedly backed out of recording the coveted soundtrack after a bust up with producer Mark Ronson.
Last month, Ronson — who worked with Amy on her smash hit album Back to Black — said the ‘Rehab’ hitmaker was not in a fit state to make music; and that it would be “a miracle of science” if she recorded a song for the film.

Teaser (the real one) looks great. Really looking forward to this now.

Bond producers have sensationally snubbed British acts in favour of American duo Alicia Keys and Jack White to record the theme for the forthcoming James Bond film, Quantum of the Solace.

Amy Winehouse, Mark Ronson, Leona Lewis and Duffy had previously been in the frame to record the signature tune but have been passed over by the film's producers.

Jack White and Alicia Keys will record Another Day to Die, the first duet in the history of James Bond theme tunes.
Jack White is best known as the frontman of rock bands The White Stripes and The Raconteurs whilst Keys has received international acclaim for her sultry brand of R&B. Some commentators however have expressed misgivings at the pairing suggesting that British artists would be more appropriate to record the theme given the content of the film.
Michael G Wilson and Barbara Broccoli who produced the film said: "We are delighted and pleased to have two such exciting artists as Jack and Alicia."

Princes William and Harry will attend the world premiere of the next James Bond film, Quantum of Solace.
They will be joined on the red carpet in London by 007 actor Daniel Craig, as well as co-stars including Dame Judi Dench and Gemma Arterton.
The Royal brothers have asked for proceeds from the event to benefit two charities - Help for Heroes and the Royal British Legion. The premiere will take place on 29 October in Leicester Square.
The film's producers, Michael G Wilson and Barbara Broccoli, said: "We are pleased this event will help raise much needed funds to support the servicemen of our country through the princes' chosen charities."
Since its launch last October, Help for Heroes has raised £6m for wounded servicemen and women.

The Royal British Legion provides support for those who are currently serving, or have served, in the Armed Forces and their families.

Quantum of Solace, the 22nd official film in the 007 series, picks up from Casino Royale as the secret agent sets out to avenge the apparent death of his lover. It has a bigger budget than Casino Royale and producers have promised more action.


The title is taken from a short story published by Bond creator Ian Fleming in 1960. It will hit cinemas on 31 October in the UK, with the rest of the world seeing it from early November.
