    I just don't think LALD as a theme and song is all that great and best Bond theme? Not to me. I know it's popular and covered many times which is one if the reasons why I brought it up in the first place.

    As for these tweets regarding SF, I sure hope it doesn't disappoint.

    You're quite right. I hope it didn't sound as if I was getting at you personally, @Gareth00789. I had just become tired of the continual "rumours-as-confirmation" dribble. :)

    No, no worries. I understand how you must feel when nothing is officialy comfirmed. I am also getting annoyed with many websites stating its official and adele is doing the theme. Theres no official word at all that she is doing it. The only reason i posted that website on showbiz was because i woke up thinking it realy was official. lol

    I think it's the word 'official' itself that is causing all the problems on forums. Look, I go to the Dutch Star Trek forum as well. Apparently, forummembers are slashing each others heads with the title for Star Trek XII, which apparently is 'Star Trek Into Darkness'.

    Immediately, the leading 'God' of the forum, the so called moderator, turns up. 'We' need to tone down, because the title is not official yet! Off course it is not official for US, but it has already been official for THEM, the producers at Paramount and Bad Robot, for some time. And what happens then? Leaking!

    That's what happening with our dear auntie Adele as well. Nothing is 'official' yet, but trust me: She WILL sing one hell of a title song, composed by Thomas Newman, that has plenty chance of being nominated for an Oscar.

    Honestly have mixed feelings..Adele is an EXTREMELY talented singer! She has the potential to do something a long the lines of Goldfinger per say? I am extremely excited, however according to wikipedia the song is going to be titled "Skyfall", now I have no problem with that but im a big fan of not including the title in the song..Its just to cheesy and the artist tends to just throw the title in the song over and over meh..Just picture a typical Adele song..(Set fire to the rain), now add some cheesy line "Once I was lost but now iv fallen into Skyyyyfalllll" blah blah, bottom line just hoping this movie works. Its the first Bond movie in a long time where we dont have alot of details or script leaks so it should be interesting!

    found this on Rotten Tomatoes, but until it comes from EON, I don't buy it.

    It has been rumored for months that Grammy-winning artist Adele would perform the theme song for the upcoming James Bond film, Skyfall. Today, Showbiz411 confirms she has the gig, and the song will probably be called “Skyfall” (as opposed to “Another Way to Die” being the song from Quantum of Solace). Adele will likely write the song as well. It will be the English singer-songwriter’s first single since her last album, 21. I’m curious to see where her song will rank among Bond themes. Probably higher than “Die Another Day”.

    In other Skyfall news, new posters and banners have been released for the film, and you can check them out after the jump. Skyfall opens October 26th in the UK, November 9th in the US, and stars Daniel Craig, Javier Bardem, Judi Dench, Berenice Marlohe, Naomie Harris, Ben Whishaw, and Ralph Fiennes.

    @=bg=, that is what we have continuously been discussing in this thread. It isn't news in the slightest, and it's nothing but more rumors awaiting denial or confirmation.

    I think his point is there's no use in reposting what is essentially the same article multiple times.

    fine. everytime I post on here half a dozen people immediately jump up to say 'this has been posted before' so I'm glad I'm consistent.

    BG,

    I think people are just annoyed with the fact that news sites keep using an unrealiable source, and they're not necessarily annoyed with you.

    Just understand the same 'news' has already been posted over and over and that people are simply trying to inform you that this is old information so that you know.

    Again, they're not annoyed with you, just at the situation. I thank you for your contribution, it's good to know that the topic of Bond is getting good word of mouth on a large level.

    Yeah - I mean theres a strong rumour that Adele is doing it but is there any point keeping repeating that every time some rag prints it?

    Lets just sit tight and wait until we get some proper announcement - bottom line if it doesnt come from EON, Adele or the studio then any source that says shes doing is bullsh*t and its the same rumour we've seen time and time again.

    My point was don't take it out on BG, he posted a legitimate, new article, and showed us that the topic of the Bond theme is still a hot topic. Don't jump on him for it. It wasn't even an article we've seen yet.

    Thanks - so they want to do it in their own good time and don't let rumors force them to break their schedule. Fair enough. Still, I say its her. In the end, personally, as long as it is not some terrible rock band,(or terrible duo) I don't care, really.

    Global James Bond Day is our safest bet for a big announcement like this one.

    Best case scenario, they'll announce it a few days earlier and release the song on Global James Bond Day.

    First said here http://www.totalfilm.com/news/adele-to-provide-theme-tune-for-skyfall

    TotalFilm's source is WorstPreviews.com, whose source is Showbiz411.

    It's the same article repeated by everyone.

    So we can put this down as another slightly more propagated rumour?

    I think it's going to be true, but right now it's just a leak.
