Adele hints she’s working on James Bond theme tune

Post by Blowfeld »

I completely adore Adel, I would love for her to have a free hand to make a theme however I would hope she would get a better production. One that does not look like as if it steaming towards QOS II territory. Safest bet is the first movie after a recast, always a better effort.

One other thing I thought that poor confused Serbian cellist was composing the opener?
Serbian paper Blic recently revealed that homegrown cellist Jelena Mihailovic will write the opening score to the forthcoming “James Bond 23.” How did she get the gig? According to paper, she performed at Cannes in May and blew away the producers and director Sam Mendes who immediately gave her “a chance to write the opening score for the new James Bond film, entitled Carte Blanche.’” Wait. Maybe that’s just a bad translation. Maybe they meant she would have carte blanche to come up with the music for the movie. Maybe…but let’s go to the next clue shall we?
Adele hints to Jonathan Ross she’s working on James Bond theme tune
She has enjoyed phenomenal chart success with each of her albums so fans are dying to know what Adele is working on next.

And appearing on the Jonathon Ross show the singer hinted that she is set to record the new James Bond theme tune.

The chat show host asked the singer what she was working on next when Adele dropped the suggestion.
Letting something slip? Adele told Jonathan Ross that she was working on a theme tune and hinted it might be a James Bond tune

She said: ‘I’m going back in the studio in November. Fingers crossed.’

When Jonathon, 50, asked if she was preparing she said: ‘Well, this is actually a theme, what I’ve got to do. Wow, that’s really giving something away.’

Ross queried: ‘A theme?’

He then began humming the James Bond theme tune and backtracking Adele was seen blushing and covering her mouth before saying: ‘No, It’s a concept.’

A source told the Sun: ‘Adele has been approached to record title tracks. None have taken her fancy but when you look back at the iconic singers who have done Bond she’s be in prestigious company.’
Star lineup: Jonathan Ross was joined by Adele, Lewis Hamilton and Sarah Jessica Parker for his inaugural chat show on ITV which airs tonight

The hit maker, who wowed fans with her performance at the MTV VMA's last week also opened up about her love life and said it was hard and she hated being single.

When Ross suggested that her love life might be affected because her previous albums 19 and 21 were autobiographical Adele said she didn't write about her most recent relationship.

She said: 'To be honest, I got a bit burnt back in May, around my birthday, and I know he would be over the moon if I wrote a record about him, but no way is that boy getting a record about him. No way.'

Adele joined Lewis Hamilton and Sarah Jessica Parker on the couch for the inaugural episode of Ross’s ITV after he quit the BBC.

The Jonathon Ross show airs tonight at 9.45pm on ITV1.

But if Bond 23 gets nominated by the Oscars for Best Song then this wouldn't be good on our side.

Baddiel, skinner & lightning seeds should do the song for a laugh :mrgreen:

Eons bond's a pain, watching cregg fail's believing, 6 d**n years of pain, this reboot stopped me grinning, this bond's too small he hates it all, no goddamn charisma at aalll, he's so glum, he just sneers, but I remember when Connery's bond was around, he kept bond on the ground, & not too gritty & crap.

& then I remember this is what james bond is, not poutty pratty, he got all the girls, took on all great villains , no psychopathic rage, qs jokes got us grinning...

He's gotta go, he's gotta , daniel creggs gotta go, he's gotta go, he's gotta go, he's gotta daniel creeggs gotta go, he's gotta go, 5 bonds feel our hurt , why isn't bond grinning.. 6 d**n years of hurt, that's what stopped me grinning.

This isn't a one-man's job. This is something we must do as Rebels, and the Empire cannot win.

Remember where you read it first. I was calling for Adele to do a Bond theme when she was just starting out.

LOVE Adele, been mentioning her for Bond soundtrack for a long time now! And like BJ, I DO NOT want her scoring a Craig film. I want her to do the main song for Bond n.7 Henry Cavill! IF she does this though, this will be the first definitely positive piece of news about Bond 23 I hear.

I posted some Bond 23 Indian plot news in BJ's thread because I wasn't sure it had been reported here yet, I haven't had time to keep up unfortunately :(

You hope this never happen. If she gave the song good enough for DC's Bond 23 to get an Oscar nomination, then Pierce's unfair dismissal will be vain, and we can kiss the idea of a traditional Bond for the 7th Bond goodbye. Screw Henry and bring in Carrot Top as the next Bond instead. And no Sadowitz either as there are always someone out there who is worse enough to make him look like Sean. Plus, this will make me stop watching the Oscars altogether.

You do know Kenny G made a triumphant return in Katy Perry's TGIF? :wink:
Speaking of Katy she should be who'd they go after if they want a smash hit theme. Nothing against Adele just saying.
