This is all over the Internet. I swear, I go to sleep, I wake up, there’s fifty of these in my inbox:

British rockers DURAN DURAN are planning on teaming up with superproducer MARK RONSON to record a second BOND theme - 23 years after releasing the title track to A VIEW TO A KILL.

The band recently chose Ronson to remix a string of their hit singles and will be performing a one-off gig with Ronson in Paris, France on Wednesday (02Jul08) night.
And keyboardist Nick Rhodes insists they are keen to collaborate with the 32-year-old again - on a theme tune for forthcoming James Bond movie Quantum of Solace.
He says, “We’d love to collaborate with Mark on a single for the next Bond film. With him we may even surpass A View To A Kill.”

Speculation about who will sing the title track to the new 007 movie has been rife - with rumours that Amy Winehouse, Leona Lewis and Beyonce Knowles are all being considered for the job.

So, weird things here. First, Nick Rhodes saying he’d like to is not the same as Duran Duran actually being considered. Second, this is Mark Ronson, who also produces Amy Winehouse and seems to have been behind the rumor that she was in the studio recording a Bond song. Third, Winehouse is no longer even rumored to be in consideration, but that’s a small point.

So is it happening? I doubt it. It looks like a way that Ronson is promoting his work; it worked for Winehouse so he’s going back to the well.

Not that I don’t think it’s cool.
