The musical director of the next James Bond film wants Amy Winehouse to sing the theme song.
The sultry jazz singer would seem the perfect candidate to follow in footsteps of Dame Shirley Bassey, Nancy Sinatra and Gladys Knight, and to a lesser extent, Chris Cornell and a-Ha.Composer David Arnold said he was impressed by Winehouse's husky voice, telling the 'Daily Express' newspaper, "Amy Winehouse did the best record of last year. I haven't asked her yet but I think she'd be good, although Bond songs can be a bit of a war zone.
"The next film will be in 2008 and we're almost finished with the script. The books are all done now so this one is going to be an extension of what happens to Bond, continuing the story from 'Casino Royale'. We haven't a title yet but anything without death, dying, tomorrow or dies would be fine by me!"
Winehouse picked up the Song Of The Year prize at the Mojo Awards in east London earlier this week, for her tune 'Rehab' from her album 'Back To Black'.
