Imagine this: in an alternate version of there is no time to die, the action and excitement of the opening pre-title give way to the voice of Ed Sheeran. It almost happened, like the story of James Bond movie scored another “what if” in the theme song department. However, fate and a fundamental shift saw Sheeran go from practically playing the role to losing.
When it appeared on This podcast from Peter Crouch , the artist behind hits like “Shape of You” and “Sing” has revealed that he is ready to add his talents to the Bond franchise. The reason we can say it was for Daniel Craig’s 007 ending is because it looks like director Danny Boyle’s variation on what was called Bonus 25 it was the project that had to carry it out. Ed Sheeran explained the scenario, with a suitably hysterical metaphor, as follows:
I was in the groin of a fucking mosquito to get one. They changed the director, then they just changed the scripts, and that’s it. But we had all the meetings. I had started writing it.
From the sound of Sheeran’s story, it seems 25 bonuses the script and the director were the key elements to consider. Which obviously meant this Danny Boyle’s departure in 2018 of the project, and subsequent rewrites, required a fresh start.
Eventually, the world would have Finneas and Billie Eilish. there is no time to die subject out of the question; a suitable track that opened the film perfectly. Even after the movie’s release and the ensuing Oscar, it’s a song that still drives Eilish fans crazy Two years after. But oh, it’s hard not to think about what it could have been.
That’s not to say Ed Sheeran couldn’t have come up with a James Bond theme. On the contrary, it seems that any song he wrote would have been based on a Bond adventure entirely different from the collaboration of writer John Hodge and director Danny Boyle. The experience didn’t stop Sheeran from wanting to take another hit, as he made clear:
Finally, as an English singer, you have to want to do a Bond song. … I’m not going to pretend he didn’t hurt me don’t do it. If they come back, I’ll tell them, “Yes, yes, of course.”
obtain so close running a 007 theme song is frustrating enough to justify the kind of language Ed Sheeran uses. Along with Radiohead, Alice Cooper and even the legendary Dame Shirley Bassey, the English rocker is now one of many artists to find their works in the pile of James Bond themes rejected .
It doesn’t look like Ed Sheeran has finished working on what might have been. 25 bonuses opening number, which is a disappointment. However, if he ever wanted to shock the world and complete the song that could have signed 007’s death warrant, that would be a good thing to see.
