Back in 2011, Alex Turner expressed interest in writing the theme song for a James Bond movie. Arctic Monkeys recently released their cinematic new album The Car. Could it be practice for contributing to the Bond canon? NME asked what the possibility of that would be during a recent interview with drummer Matt Helders.
“I’m sure it’s something we would still be interested in, but I don’t think it’s officially been proposed," he admitted. "However, it is almost like Alex is already writing Bond themes, there just ain’t a film that’s been made and is ready [for his songs] yet! But I would say that he’s definitely got a Bond theme in him.”
Arctic Monkeys plan to hit the road next year in support of the new album. Check out a full list of North American tour dates below.
