I would not be opposed, but I would prefer Don Black writing the actual song.

She has a powerful smokey voice.
If it’s a good song, she’ll do a terrific job.

I would be more confident about the theme if it were written by an experienced lyricists. The women who supposedly is writing the the music for the theme song is a relative unknown, which is disappointing since Dave Arnold is doing the score. I would personally prefer that the theme song have elements of the score in it. That is why I would prefer Don Black write the song and Dave Arnold write the music. I guess Babs Broccoli just wants to get any fanny in the theatre regardless of the quality of product.

Never heard of her it that song. I must have led a sheltered life - that video made no sense to me.

Why does it take so long to make movies now? Years between them?

The third Batman with Nolan/Bale isn’t due out until 2012.

Would wish that John Barry would be back scoring bond films, but that seems unlikely now..what, with him being dead and all.

Michael Kamen did not write theme song for LTK.

The theme song David Arnold and Don Black wrote for TND ended up as the ending credits (sung by KD Lang)the song was called surrender and you can hear part of it in the pretitle sequence.

IMHO “Surrender” would have made a much better title song.
