Amy Winehouse to do next Bond flick?

Amy_winehouse_200 Amy Winehouse, finally making news for her music again, is tipped to be composing the theme song for the upcoming James Bond film, "Quantum of Solace." Winehouse's, who's retro-dipped soul lyrics have already referenced Bond actors, is said to be working on the tune with producer/collaborator Mark Ronson, according to the BBC News.

Nothing official at this point, and Ronson tells the BBC that Winehouse's Bond theme is far from a done deal. "They asked Amy, and I think Amy said that if she did it, she'd want to do it with me. So hopefully something will come of it," Ronson is quoted as saying. "The demo sounds like a James Bond theme, hopefully. But I don't know if it'll get used."

In fact, much of Winehouse's Grammy-adored breakthrough "Back to Black" sounds like a Bond theme. The artist should be right at home writing a tune for "Quantum of Solace," her music unapologetically striving for the familiar vintage feel of the best of the Bond films.

Indeed, though she was born and raised during the Timothy Dalton/Pierce Bronson-era Bond films, Winehouse found inspiration in the Bond of the '70s, singing, "You tear men down like Roger Moore" in "You Know I'm No Good."
