Irish Central ^ | 12.20.09 | By NIALL O'DOWD

The name is Boyle, Susan Boyle.

The Scottish star seems set to sing in the next James Bond movie, joining Sean Connery another famous Scottish star, to leave their mark on the James Bond franchise.

The producers of the new, as yet-unnamed Bond film, have approached Boyle to sing the title tune of the new movie, the 23rd Bond production, which is expected to be released in 2011.

"Best part of the movie."

That's not saying much. Although Christopher Walken was delightfully demented. But mostly it was just a ripoff of Goldfinger without the verve. And without Honor Blackman, mmmrrow.

"Why do you assume Connery would have the title role in the movie?"

Because Connery has an ego the size of Seattle, and I'd personally doubt he'd settle for anything less.

I have read all the comments and I am surprised at the negative attitude.

She won’t be in the film...just sing the title song and I think that is great!

I hope I live long enough to see that film in, is it 2011?

The World is Not Enough by Garbage was one of the best.

Best of the Brosnan era.

Sean Connery hated playing Bond. It showed in YOLT and DAF. In Fact, he told a bunch of fans in the Bahamas to go eff themselves.

My choice for the next Bond is Matthew Macfadyen.

I actually like the theme to TND, but Sheryl Crow cannot sing it.

I thought I read that Simon said that he took the blame for not having a system to protect the stars of the show from the press, fans, etc.

I know he promised to set something up before the next season.

Imagine trying to handle that alone in a small home setting, all alone. No advisors or staff was provided.

Sarah at least got a staff who bought all the clothes and blamed her...LOL

Do they need a next Bond? I thought they were keeping Craig.

Rumor is that he's leaving after his third (next) movie.

Agreed. But sleeping with Eric Clapton opens a lot of doors.

She has a nice voice. The poor woman had a problem at birth and she is a little “challenged.” Worked at a church too.

Her theme song can’t be any worse than Shirley Bassey or Madonna’s hideous song or Rita Coolidge.

Why wait ? Let the miscast Blonde ice cube leave now and bring in Clive Owen.

Walken and gorgeous Alison Doody was in it. She was on of Walken’s gals. One of the most beautiful women ever. Irish.

Daniel Craig is pretty good. He is the freaking thug Bond.

Well, so much for HER career. A Bond Song seems to be the kiss of death, career-wise. . .

Maybe I am a bit prejudice because she seems to be a bit odd, but it just seems to be somewhat of a gimmick.

Alison Doody is still hot. She was in The Last Crusade, as well..

Yeah I generally do not rave about actresses or famous women but she is staggering.
