Amy Winehouse and Mark Ronson get Bond-ing
Amy Winehouse and Mark Ronson will write and record the theme to the new James Bond film next week.
The superproducer arrived at Amy’s house on Thursday night to take her gear, so to speak, to his country retreat in Henley.
The Back To Black star will join him in the next few days and stay for a week to put together the biggest song of their careers. It will feature in 22nd Bond movie Quantum Of Solace, which is out in October.
A source revealed: “Amy and Mark are really excited. They see this as the biggest thing they have ever done. Mark collected her clothes and guitar to take to his place. She will join him soon and they will lock themselves away to write and record the song. They have no idea what they’re going to do. In true Amy fashion, they’re going to busk it. But I’m sure it will be brilliant. The new Bond film is supposed to be really dark so Amy will fit the bill perfectly.”
Amy went on an all-night bender after Mark’s visit, leaving her home in Camden, North London, for Soho at 4am and not returning until three hours later.
Amy has recorded her most successful material — including Grammy-winning hit Rehab — with Ronson.
My source revealed: “They’ve got a great understanding. She comes up with a basic idea and he makes it happen.”
In February movie chiefs told Amy she could do the Bond theme if she stayed clean until April.
They must have changed their minds…
