Alicia Keys, Jack White Team For Bond Theme
July 29, 2008 , 3:05 PM ET
Ann Donahue, L.A.

Alicia Keys and the White Stripes' Jack White will record the theme song to "Quantum of Solace," the 22nd James Bond film, which hits U.S. theaters Nov. 7.

The song, "Another Way To Die," will be the first duet in Bond soundtrack history. White wrote and produced the song, and also will play drums. The soundtrack to the movie will be released Oct. 28.

The score for the film will be composed by David Arnold.

"Quantum of Solace," starring Daniel Craig, will be directed by Marc Forster from a screenplay by Neal Purvis & Robert Wade and Paul Haggis.

Amy Winehouse and Leona Lewis had previously been rumored as the vocalists for the latest Bond theme.

My gut reaction is this sounds pretty crap to me. I hate the title of the song, it sounds like something from the Brosnan era, and I hate the fact that Arnold is not involved with the song at all. The collaboration sounds like U2 and Tina Turner's GE - which I absolutely hated!!!!!!

EON, what the hell are you doing? My fears were roused when I saw Craig flying the plane in the QOS trailer, and now this!! Did they not learn anything with what they did during the Brozza era, and with what they have now so miraculously done with CR?

Right now my optimism for this film is waning, especially in light of a truly great film like TDK. Nolan managed to pull off the impossible by making his sequel even better, but I'm beginning to think Babs and Co. only had one great film within them.

Like I said on another thread,cue the hating on it over at the place that can't be named

Hang on a minute. First of all you slag MI6 people off for praising QOS too much, and now you're slagging them off because they are hating the new song title.

Katied, does your brain actually function normally...?

[katied]

You know it's true .....Because St. Crackhouse isn't doing the theme

[The Sweeney]

You know it's true .....Because St. Crackhouse isn't doing the theme

No one has even mentiond Crackhouse over there.

It is now official. You are well and truly 100% obsessed by all things Any Whinehouse and MI6.

[katied]

*sigh* I'll only say this one more time:


I do not get the love that people at the place that can't be named have for Crackhouse and doing the Bond theme.Yes, they might not mention Crackhouse by name but you KNOW that's who they would prefer, regardless of whether she has a crack habit or not.

I find it hilarious that people go on about Duffy being overrated. Crackhouse is WAY more overrated than Crackhouse is.At least Duffy doesn't wind up in the emergency room on a weekly basis because she overdosed on crack


Scarier still are the Crackhouse fans who want to be just like Amy, complete with the lack of hygiene, crack habit, and loser junkie boyfriend.

Wow... Has anyone ever told you that you're creepy?

[katied]

^"waah wahh wahh Crackhouse didn't do the theme to Bond 22,I am SO disappointed!!!"

[stockslivevan]

I don't even give a s**t about Winehouse not doing the theme you deluded creep.

Back to topic... Hopefully Jack and Alicia churn out good tunes.

[katied]

*cough* secretly you wanted Crackhouse to do it *cough*


Oh and namecalling much?

[stockslivevan]

*cough* secretly you wanted Crackhouse to do it *cough*

Where's the proof? I have a feeling you'll have a hard time looking for that.

[Dr. No]

Alicia Keys? Really?
That’s the best they could do?
She might put the audience to sleep

I think I agree with you Sweeney. This time

The title could use some work..pretty predictable as Bond theme titles go

The Sweeney is coming round to our point of view! I have a message for you:



That is a rather insipid choice for the theme, as was the last one, IMO.

Surely you meant to say "as the last two".

I'll toss my lucky coin to see if I'll join you or not.....

'Another way to Die' I wonder what could it be about???
Dying another day? Nah
Assisted suicide? Maybe. A distinct possibility. Bond is so depressed after Vesper's suicide that he looks for release the only place he can find it. The sweet release of death. He imposes himself upon old friend Felix Leiter to help out with the ol' Kevorkian. But before his Final Exit he needs Leiter's help for one last mission.
Opps I think I just gave a way the plot for Bond 23 "No More I Love Yous"

'Another way to Die' is going to be about how QOS is another way of dying and Craig's heart is broken after Eva Green. It's all oh-so-sad!

Here I was hoping they would have the brass ones to forgo the Song and go with an instrumental overture ala OHMSS.
