[Album] Quantum Of Solace's Title Song Is By...

Alicia Keys and the White Stripes' Jack White will make movie history by recording the first Bond theme duet for new movie Quantum Of Solace.

The odd couple will team up to perform "Another Way To Die" for the 22nd James Bond movie, which will hit cinemas in November.

White wrote and produced the song, and will also play drums on the track, according to reports.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Man, times are changing, as long as the opening sequence doesn't suck then I don't care.

How ya doing, buddy?

It's better than Jack Black. =(

THIS is James Bond at its best? Why do they focus the quality ELSEWHERE. The title tune is what defines the movie.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Could have sworn that it was a story and decent filmmaking that did that.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I thought the quality of a Bond movie was defined by the number of ridiculous sex innuendos contained within the female characters' names.

I was speaking idiomatically.

That's the popularity of a Bond movie.

No, it defines the movie, not its quality, which is done by the girls and some plot thrown here and there and explosions.

It's even more important than the title of the movie (which is horrible too, this time). Think about it.

FELIPE NO

Here's what I'm pissed about. The movie will have NOTHING to do with the original book. And the original book would have made an AWESOME movie.

Quote:

"Quantum of Solace" is not a spy story and James Bond appears only in the background. Told in the style of W Somerset Maugham, the tale has Bond attending a boring dinner party at the Government House in Nassau with a group of socialites he can't stand.

Bond makes a remark after dinner when the other guests have left in order to stimulate conversation, about always having thought it would be nice to marry an air hostess. This solicits a careful reply from the elderly Governor of The Bahamas who tells 007 a sad tale about a relationship between a former civil servant he calls Philip Masters, stationed in Bermuda, and air hostess Rhoda Llewellyn. After meeting aboard a flight to London the two eventually married but after a time Rhoda became unhappy with her life as a housewife. She then began a long open affair with the eldest son of a rich Bermudan family. As a result Masters' work deteriorated and he suffered a nervous breakdown. After recovering he was given a break from Bermuda by the governor and sent on an assignment to Washington to negotiate fishing rights with the US. At the same time the governor's wife had a talk with Rhoda just as her affair ended. Masters returned a few months later and decided to end his marriage, although he and Rhoda continued to appear as a happy couple in public. Masters returned alone to the UK, leaving a penniless Rhoda stranded in Bermuda, an act which he'd been incapable of carrying out merely months earlier. But Masters never recovered emotionally, nor recaptured any spark of vitality. The governor goes on to tell Bond how after a time Rhoda married a rich Canadian and seems to be happy. When Bond remarks that she hardly deserved her good fortune, the governor says that Masters had always been rather weak, and that perhaps Fate chose Rhoda as its instrument to teach him a lesson. The governor then reveals that the dinner companions whom Bond found so boring were in fact Rhoda and her rich Canadian husband. Bond then tells the governor Rhoda was much more interesting than he had thought.

While the story does not include action elements, as other Fleming tales do, it attempts to posit that Bond's adventures pale in comparison with real life drama. Bond reflects that the lives of the people he passes somewhat superficial judgements upon can in fact hide poignant episodes.

I want a fucking movie where James Bond just goes to a dinner party, acts like a dick, and then feels bad after.

Make me that movie.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Isn't that half of Mama Mia?

How ya doing, buddy?

You'd have to tell me. I wouldn't know if Mama Mia was just Jurassic Park with a new soundtrack done by ABBA.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Although the title theme is an important aspect of James Bond, it's the actual music score that makes the film. We can expect David Arnold will be putting in the famed Bond theme in the score this time around since James is now past his first mission as 007. I really enjoyed Casino Royale's score so I can't wait to hear what's in store for the next one .

Protip: "You Know My Name" is based around the first four notes of the 007 theme.

LeHah,

I hear it now that you mentioned that, heh.

In other news...

The score to Quantum is to be released October 28th.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Hey come on, that's still better than Rihanna and the Prague Philharmonic Orchestra.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I have nothing against either artist - and seperately I'd be interested - but the combo has me a little... concerned?

FELIPE NO

I'm more than concerned. Alicia Keys is completely overrated, and I'm indifferent about Jack White. When I'm in charge, I'll contract Portishead to do a Bond theme.

How ya doing, buddy?

Wait - Alicia Keys and The White Stripes are overrated but you'd hire the most whiney, college-cool band seen since The Pixies? Go clean your fuckin ears out, man.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Oh you know their self titled album from 97 just screams "we'd be perfect for a Bond theme." ...far more perfect that an Alicia Keys and Jack White marketing ploy collab.

And whatchu got against the Pixies?

Most amazing jew boots

Well I don't really like it.

HEAR IT HERE

Good lord, that's beyond terrible. I think they might've been better off with Jack Black, and that's saying something.

They should just reuse the Casino Royale one. That one was pretty cool.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Seriously what is that crap. If I were in charge of the film and I heard that as the final cut I would have sent White, Keys and Arnold to go back and rewrite it. Keys and White were always a risk, in my view underlining they should have picked skanky Winehouse.

or


Should of used this:

As camp as they are and it is. It has Bond theme written all over it even the video. (I wouldn't be surpried if it made the final CR reject pile)

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

At least it wasn't written by U2.

FELIPE NO

At most it was written worse than anything U2 has done in the last decade

How ya doing, buddy?

I think David Arnold should've been involved. He and Cornell wrote a good theme for Royale... this new theme, which David wasn't at all involved in, is horrible and doesn't even sound close to being a Bond title theme. I'm still hoping for Shirley Bassey to return. Now THAT would be something.
