Robbie Williams to croon for 007 in Casino Royale

Quoted from: http://www.whatistheword.com/

'British pop singer Robbie Williams cannot be 007 himself, but could very well sing for him in the next Bond movie, Casino Royale.Yahoo Music says that Williams is all set to record a song penned by Tony Christie. "Robbie's voice would suit it down to the ground - plus he's current and hip so it would be absolutely great if he did it. We tried to make it a typical Bond theme tune with a throbbing dramatic bassline filling the background," Christie is quoted as saying on the site."I'm a huge fan of the old-school 007 songs like Shirley Bassey with Goldfinger and Tom Jones singing Thunderball so I tried to give it that authentic sound. We are due to record it in February." The song, titled 'Do You Know the Way to Amarillo?' is to be the theme for the upcoming Bond flick. Williams recently won undisclosed libel damages after a magazine had alleged that he was gay and was concealing it.
Casino Royale will star the new Bond, Daniel Craig and will be directed by Martin Campbell. Last month, the Daily Mirror had reported that South African Oscar-winning actress Charlize Theron is being approached to play the next Bond girl.But these speculations have not been confirmed so far. It was also reported that the race for the next Bond girl is being fought between Angelina Jolie, Sienna Miller and Charlize Theron with the latter gaining precedence over the other two. Whoever gets to net the role will follow big names like Halle Berry, Britt Ekland, Ursula Andress and Teri Hatcher as Bond girl.
