It has been a busy couple of days for the James Bond\nfranchise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Monday, January 13, Billboard revealed that Academy Award-winning composer Hans Zimmer has taken over the music for the next James Bond picture<\/a>, No Time to Die.<\/em> The next day, January 14, Eon Productions announced that Billie Eilish would be the franchise\u2019s next title-sequence singer<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zimmer replaces composer Dan Romer, perhaps best known for 2012\u2019s\nBeasts of the Southern Wild, <\/em>who departed the project in November 2019,\nciting \u201ccreative differences\u201d with Eon Productions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Zimmer already scheduled to compose the scores for Wonder Woman 1984<\/em>, Top Gun: Maverick, <\/em>and Dune, <\/em>rumors suggest that the artist may enlist the assistance of long-time Zimmer collaborators <\/a>Benjamin Wallfisch (Blade Runner 2049<\/em> and Hidden Figures<\/em>) or Lorne Balfe (Ad Astra <\/em>and Mission: Impossible \u2013 <\/em>Fallout) in order to ensure that the Bond project is completed on time.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the Zimmer announcement, January 14 brought news\nthat Billie Eilish has been chosen to sing No Time to Die\u2019s<\/em> title song. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eilish, 18, will be the youngest artist ever to record a\nBond theme. With the announcement, the singer mentioned that she\u2019s already\nwritten the song\u2014with some help from her older brother Finneas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt feels crazy to be a part of this in every way. To be\nable to score the theme song to a film that is such a part of a legendary series\nis a huge honor,\u201d said Eilish. She added, \u201cI\u2019m still in shock.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga and featuring the fifth and final appearance of Daniel Craig as 007, No Time to Die<\/em> also stars Rami Malek, Lashana Lynch, and Ana de Armas and will be released in the US on April 10, 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
