Rumours are swirling that H.I.M are set to do the theme song for the next James Bond film.
The composers David Arnold and Don Black were allegedly impressed by the band's track 'Wings Of A Butterfly'.
The duo allegedly got chatting to the frontman Ville Valo at the BMI Awards.
A source told The Daily Star: "David Arnold and Don Black were in deep conversation with Ville on the night.
"They love the song that won him an award. They think he has just the right ear to write a classic Bond hit with them."

Remember that this is just a rumor a this point, right before a Bond film there are tons of people mentioned to do the theme.
But I think that if it is true and they ended up doing it they could do a great job with it.
-
this would be pretty dang sweet, ive always enjoyed the bond music myself
-
I thought Chris Cornell did a great job with Casino Royale, and I hope HIM can do the same.
I'm actually interested in hearing this, I love the Bond films.
-
I thought The Killers were already confirmed to do the theme for the next Bond film.
-
Huh. If someone told me yesterday that I'd be reading this today, I wouldn't have believed them. Nope.
Interesting though.
-
Interesting. I've never really been crazy about any of the Bond movie songs, but I look forward to hearing what they come up with if it actually happens. Does anyone know when the next movie is supposed to be out?
-
Next movie is out November 7, 2008.
-
Thanks. I guess we'll have to wait a while to see if it actually happens.
-
My first reaction is no. But on the other side, maybe they get a new group of fans, older fans, not under 14. And I guess that is what Ville wants. Paying all the young girls every gig again to scream... That costs a lot of money.
EDIT:
Love + Death + 616 + dark/night + a new poet/writer + great guitar riff + slowly a Bond theme in HIM style on keyboards = Bond 2008 theme
I guess it going to be like "killing for love, my darkest 616 side, like [insert poem] did, to be with you forever in the night, we will disappear in the dark to be not found again"
And don't forget the 7 hidden Heartagrams in the movie and a appearance of the whole band in the casino, in Wicked Game style.
EDIT II:
I'm drunk, you know I love your writing Ville
The 69 Eyes would be great for it.
-
hahaha james bond and HIM didn't see that coming
-
I think that would be fantastic and open up some new peoples ears to the band. I hope this rumor turns out to be true.
-
I think that if they do it no one is going to even bother to care who made it... I never wondered.
-
but... Ville isn't just anyone, if this works out, the song will be so different from any other bond-theme, that ppl might think otherwise:)
-
Is Atractive the New, but i don't Imagine Valo singing a Bond Theme
Maybe It will be Just the Music, I think...
-
this would be cool and probaly some good publicity
and bad also . . .
-
this would be great
-
I heard that it was just Ville Valo doing the song ....and he beat out the drug singing Amy Winehouse. I think its great.
-
I'm drunk right now...but Valo is the coolest guy on the planet...and he will do a song just perfect for bond movie. I hope the whole band will do it...in HIM-style...and I think it won't have anything to do with a new album so...it's a unique and just beautiful thing...!
-
This is just a rumor and probably isn't going to happen. Last year all the news sites and entertainment magazines were buzzing that The Killers were asked to record the next Bond theme.
-
New James Bond on 7th November 2008...
Ha ha, that's my birthday :)
-
I hope this is true! And if this is true, I'll go watch next Bond-movie. :P
-
I think the chances of this rumour being true are seriously slim
-
Yea chances are very slim but I think Ville's deep voice would be perfect but again, rumor so most likely not happening..... :(
-
Hmm, it's posted on a UK news website, so it might not be a rumor.
-
I want them to make a remix of wings of a butterfly real bad. it would be soo good
-
thats weird but cool though
i remember being a fan when the band wasnt really that big enough here
now theres rumors of a new Bond theme?
what have i been doing these past months! ???
-
Hmm, it's posted on a UK news website, so it might not be a rumor.
NME is not a news website it's a music magazine and it says in the article that "rumours are flying around"
-
as it turns out in an interview ville said its a rumor
-
i think HIM could release those song that is going to be remembered in soundtracks, the atmosphere of the what james bond movies means is awesome and HIM could fit great, with a soft ballad with a lot of keyboards
-
I hate rumors.
-
I'm on the same opinion, it's just a rumor. But i heard this information on the local radio here in Hungary a copule of days ago. I don't know... ???
-
Ville said it was a rumor.
-
That's quite interesting. The Bond songs are usually pretty cool, and usually kind of different style from the band doing them. I hope it is true. I imagine HIM could do a good Bond song.
-
And I repeat, Ville said it was a rumor.
-
yeah but i think it woud be great if they really did the soundtrack for it
-
the ville and manna combo would of worked well for a bond theme
-
And I repeat, Ville said it was a rumor.
A lot of celebrities say they aren't on drugs/getting married/etc. and a month later they are in rehab or engaged.. So you can't always believe what people say. unless it's ville
-
My first reaction is no. But on the other side, maybe they get a new group of fans, older fans, not under 14. And I guess that is what Ville wants. Paying all the young girls every gig again to scream... That costs a lot of money.

haha goshers, I like the song you had going on there...ville should copy them lyrics for the theme if they'll do the theme for the movie ;D and I agree it would be fun to see the 69 eyes doing the theme but I wonder if jyrki would be able to keep away from a line like "blablabla giving head" haha, I doubt the movie makers would like that part ;D ::)
