www.tv3.ie/xpose/article/entertainment-news/239465/Paul-Weller-writing-James-Bond-theme-with-Noel-GallagherPaul Weller and Noel Gallagher are working together on a new song Paul hopes will be the theme for the next James Bond film. Paul Weller Performing at Liverpool Guild of Students The 58-year-old rock legend told the BBC that it's always been his ambition to write a song for a Bond movie, and that he has a new track he believes would be perfect for 007's next outing. "I want to write a James Bond theme tune," he said. "I've got this half a song that me and Noel Gallagher worked on and I think it would be great for a Bond theme. There's a bit of minor key going on. That would be an ambition definitely." The follow-up to 2015 Bond movie Spectre is still in the early stages of production and is yet to receive an official release date or begin filming. Producers have selected younger stars to record the themes to the last two films, with Adele picked to write sing 2012's Skyfall and Sam Smith's Oscar winning track Writing's on the Wall chosen for Spectre. Paul has already gained experience writing movie music, as he has penned the score for new boxing film Jawbone, which is released in the U.K. on Friday (12May17). The Jam's ex-frontman also has his eye on another songwriting project - and he wants his song The Impossible Idea to be used as Britain's entry for the Eurovision Song Contest. "I want to see the UK win the Eurovision Song Contest," he said. "And I think they need The Impossible Idea as their tune." Sadly, it is likely to be too late to choose the track as this year's (17) entry, as The X Factor U.K. alumni Lucie Jones will compete with the song Never Give Up on You in Saturday's (13May17) final in Kiev, Ukraine..

Would love to hear some new tune with both singing but I guess if this comes out (wheter as a JB theme or not) its good enough

They didn't go with the Radiohead song which was killer, not sure they'd go with Dad Rock either. These producers want young, hip and fresh.

The Radiohead song was dark and moody with big Bond strings. Sam did go on to win an Oscar for his song and it sold boat loads. So to the producers, that's the impact they want.

What's with the Bond obsession these two have? I think most Englishmen of a certain age can't help but have a soft spot for the Bond films. But really, it's gotta be said, whether you like the films or not, the Bond series has spawned some fucking great theme tunes. From Russia with Love, Thunderball, Live and Let Die, The World is Not Enough, Shirley Bassey's first two... As properly talented songwriters who are serious about their craft (however much Noel might like to pretend otherwise), surely it'd be an honour for them to have a song they'd written join the ranks of the likes of the above, no?

I doubt this will end up being a bond song if it is being announced this early and we have no details about the movie. They usually try to keep this as secretive as possible and not announce the song or artist till weeks before the movie premiere.

The title, "Paul Weller writing 'James Bond theme' with Noel Gallagher" is clickbait. If you read the actual article, Weller only says he wants to write one, not that he actually is doing. Him saying this thing he's half-written with Noel sounds like a Bond theme, is probably just him bigging his tune up like Noel always does with his ("Led Zeppelin meets The Who", and so on...)

The producers will be in touch with Noel and Weller if they want them to do a Bond song, working with the script to incorporate within the lyrics, and probably David Arnold or Thomas Newman too, or whoever is composing the score.
So this is definitely not happening as it stands now, because the film hasn't even started production yet.
Having said that, it would be my dream to see Noel do the next Bond song. I'm guessing if he got the gig, it would be something along the lines of McCartney's LALD.

Chris Cornell wasn't really the 'in' thing when he did Casino Royale mind - he also wasn't the most obvious choice for a Bond theme even at his most popular. That said, I think the producers were really keen to emphasise this was a major, gritty reboot. I think it's one of the best Bond themes. If they want to make the film series serious again, it's obvious that they have to get Eddie Vedder to do it! Though maybe too close to Cornell's theme. A proper hard rock song would be great - everything has been so cliched with Bond themes of late. Sad to say, a Weller/Gallagher Bond theme just doesn't excite me in all honesty. If they have to go for the legendary act, then Nick Cave would be a good shout I think (even if he isn't hard rock) - he's got that sultry style that would suit a Bond theme well.

Since Casino Royale they've gone with Adele and Sam Smith. Current power houses in global pop. I don't want Eddie Vedder doing a Bond theme. Doesn't work for me. Too grunge. Besides his head is up the Chicago Cubs' butt these days. Personally I think the reboot should be setting it back in the early 60s. I love that swave cool technology against that declining 1950s backdrop of society. Plus who doesn't like Russians as bad guys? I know I do.

i still maintain to this day that 'falling down' would have made a kick-ass bond theme.

The last Bond theme i actually enjoyed was was the Jack White one and even that could of been a lot better. It's Noel's time to shine. He could write an awesome theme in his sleep! Falling Down & Freaky Teeth would of made great Bond songs. Shame.

Falling Down & Freaky Teeth would of made great Bond songs. Shame. That wasn't fit to be a Bond theme. It's a decent song taken in isolation, but a Bond theme has got to be catchy - and it just wasn't. Definitely, Noel could write something more suitable. And if he started to stray into the land of Plod, that's when Weller could swoop in with his awesome backing band and inject a bit of life into proceedings... Ah man, I'm getting pretty taken with this idea now... It's a shame it'll (probably) never happen.
