Los Angeles Aug 28 (IANS) Singer-actress Beyonce Knowles is in talks to record the theme song for the next James Bond movie.
According to sources a new Beyoncé track will give the franchise a huge global boost when the new - and as yet unnamed - film is released in November 2019 reports dailystar.co.uk.
A source close to Beyoncé 35 said: "This is the only project she is remotely interested in right now."
A source revealed that Beyoncé has become a close friend of singer Adele who won an Oscar a Grammy a Golden Globe and a BRIT Award for her Bond song "Skyfall" five years ago.
The source added: "The two spoke before Bey s first meeting with film bosses and Adele told her how co-writing and performing a Bond theme gave her an amazing career hike.
"Not many of the themes have been as successful - but there are tens of millions of Beyoncé fans out there."
Bosses at Eon Productions are refusing to comment on talks with Beyoncé but a senior executive at Hollywood studio MGM which distributes every James Bond movie said: "Daniel Craig s decision this month to return as Bond has thrown everything into overdrive. It s very likely that shooting for Bond 25 will begin at the end of this year or early next year."
"To tie-up a deal with Beyoncé for a theme song for Daniel s fifth appearance as 007 would really be the icing on the cake."
