Amusingly she was 5 years old when Casino Royale was released
:D
I don't really have an opinion on Billie Eilish, I only know of her because my girlfriends little sister loves her, she always plays Eilish's CD in my car and honestly it's not my taste but I get why she was chosen by Eon. Eilish is a popular current artist, same with Adele and Sam Smith. So hopefully her song will do will and promote the film on both sides of the Atlantic.
I must admit even though I am reserving judgement on Eilish, I am a little disappointed reading the press release, about her it's a "powerful and moving song".
I was just hoping it would be a bit more of an up-tempo rock track to see out Craig's run instead of another ballad, especially when the last two were ballads. I really thought we had a chance of that happening as well, when you think that Cary's first Bond film was A View To A Kill, and Duran Duran's title song was probably one of the highlights of the film. I was hoping we'd get something along those lines.
But with that being said, I'm really relieved it's not Ed Sheeran and I'm reserving judgement. I trust the producers to make the right call
Yeah, Easton.
Not this again.
@Jordo007 same we have something in common haha
When do we think the song will be released?
Time will tell

If it were up to me I’d bring back someone like Shirley Bassey or Duran Duran or a-ha. I don’t even care if they’re over the hill or not. I’d still prefer them any day over whoever is the flavor of the month these days. But that’s just me. I know the producers don’t and won’t go for that. Oh well.
@JamesCraig why you send me a red button? Look I care only about the film really and what's in it then the song anyway.
Let's hope Eilish's will at least be incorporated :P
But yeah, I like it when two songs are woven into the score (TLD had If There Was A Man, TB had Mr Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, TWINE had Only Myself To Blame etc.)
If Writing’s on the Wall can get to number 1 and win a Golden Globe and an Oscar then I’m pretty confident Eilish is in with a shot!
Then again I really liked Die Another Day ...
Indeed. Sting would be a good voice to wrap-up the Mayhem...sort of rain-after-the-sun.
Yeah, true. and TLD even had 3 songs in total....The pretenders 'Where has Everybody Gone?' as well. :)
Edited: Just listened to some of her songs, not for me I am afraid. No doubt Billie will draw in a younger audience.
I really don't like her music from 2019 and 2018. Horrible stuff.
But before that, when she was still finding her identity, she did some really solid, but maybe slightly more 'generic' music.
Here is some of that good stuff:
1. This is a collaboration with some Khalid dude from 2017. Very Skyfall esque and could be used on its own for NTTD.
2. Then we have this lovely tune here, from her first ep in 2017:
I think if you listen to this track alone, no one would doubt that she could be a great Bond singer. Listening to this i don't even miss Lana.
3. Also i really like this simple but very catchy Pop tune. This Song put her on the map in 2016. She must have been 15-16 back then so don't get any ideas.
Does anyone know if the song will be weaved or woven into the score.
With the exception of the news of Zimmer doing the score, there hasn't been much that has excited me with this film.
1) The trailer felt like this was going to be SPECTRE 2. More of the same from where we last left off. Great news if you loved SP, bad news if you were hoping for another CR.
2) The interviews in Empire magazine with some of the actors sound just like every Bond film post Cubby - strong females up against Bond, personal angst for Bond (again), etc.
3) The choice of artist for the song. I bet right here, right now, that this song will rival QoS and DAD as one of the worst songs of the franchise. The writings on the wall...
4) I think its fairly obvious now that the unused Fleming books are still being untouched and ignored, instead opting for P&W to give us yet another `original' story that will rehash everything we've seen in the Brosnan and Craig era - lots of personal angst and female power struggles. Throw in the Aston Martin DB5 and retro gadgets for good measure.
A reboot with a new actor can't come quick enough for me. Its the one time EON throw out all the stops and try to revert back to basics again.
Like I said, my expectations are fairly low for this film, so I may be in for a surprise...
Hate to say it, but I feel pretty much the same. This is the only Bond film in my lifetime I'm not anticipating with that extra boost of adrenaline. I find myself rarely posting on the NTTD threads.
The idea of this film once again focusing on some emotional angst for Bond is like nails on a chalk board to me at this point. In addition I cannot deny the feeling that post NTTD we're getting an indefinite hiatus. Just a hunch.
Still, I'm hoping these bad vibes are laid to rest when we get the second trailer, or the song is released, or the film turns out as solid as CR.
And a BIG congratulations to @jamesbondlive for this great scoop!
And also to @Pierce2Daniel for his great detective work on instagram ;)
