Lana Del Rey Eyed to Perform New James Bond Theme Song

Lana Del Rey's unique vocals mean that she's being considered for a lot of movie soundtracks these days. We all remember that she sang on the soundtrack of “The Great Gatsby” starring Leonardo DiCaprio and “Maleficent” starring Angelina Jolie.

not exactly. You are falling into a trap set by the Broccoli family to control the franchise and ignore Bond movies they don’t produce, including one with Sean Connery.

There have been 25 Bond movies and 1 American production on Casino Royale in the 50s.

The next Bond movie will be 26.

Thank you for the correction.

[morphing libertarian]

Common error. The Broccoli family tries to get everyone to ignore those they didn’t produce.

When you see them assign a number to a Bond movie, it’s coming from them. Most of the entertainment media does what they tell them.

because I don’t go to those links and I still don’t know who this so called singer is

First of all, let me just admit outright that I live in a complete bubble... 2 weeks ago I was flipping through the radio dial and stopped at this really interesting song on some pop station... turns out it was Summertime Sadness. First time I ever heard this song... like YEARS after it was recorded.

I like the song.

[Rodamala]

She can sing.

The video for Summertime Sadness looks like something Albert Broccoli produced for a Bond film intro.

[yefragetuwrabrumuy]

She has a long way to go to beat the creepiness of the Garbage (band) music video for The World Is Not Enough, featuring their lead singer Shirley Manson.

Her (cens*red) tastes like Coca-Cola.

Maybe if you went to those links you'd know who she is. Just a suggestion.

Or you could google her.

[taildragger]

I am not sure she has the chops for it.

My choice?

Sia, of "Titanium" and "Chandelier" fame, she has great range IMHO and can write...

No comment.

or not

You're the one who asked who she was.

Apparently you need a sarcasm indicator

The next one is 26.

23 Broccoli (Eon Production) movies, 1 McElroy (Never Say Never Again with Sean Connery), and 1 Columbia Pictures (Casino Royale with David Niven and Peter Sellers).

Then there is the one TV show Casino Royale (Climax! series on CBS)

[morphing libertarian]

I gave a link to the tv production, live iirc. CBS. Didn’t spell it out in the post. Technically not a movie.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Lana del Rey ? Any relation to Marina ?

I love that album. I can listen to it straight through. However, I have heard her sing live. And it’s still good, but you can tell her albums have been “fixed” with technology. She doesn’t have the raw talent of others. But who cares? Not everyone can be Adele or Mariah.
