Queen Rumoured For Bond Theme

They\'re the latest artist to be linked with the forthcoming soundtrack

Published 24th Nov 2011

Following the announcement that the new Bond film would be coming out in October next year, the traditional theme tune rumour mill cranked into gear.

And now the NME reports that the film's score composer, David Arnold has said that he is a "massive" fan of the band and would "love them to do a theme tune".

Arnold, who has penned the score for the past five 007 films, suggested that Brian May and co's involvement in the franchise is long overdue.

He told the Daily Star: "Imagine how ridiculously bombastic a Queen anthem could be. It’s a shame because they would have been perfect for Roger Moore’s Bond during the '80s when he was punching clowns."

There have been hints that the band could even team-up with Lady Gaga for the soundtrack, given that May has recently paid tribute to the singer, describing her as "very inspiring".
