Adele to Write, Sing Skyfall Theme Song

Somewhat unique to this franchise, the theme song for a James Bond film can generate as much attention as — and in many cases, probably be remembered better than the plot of — the film itself.

Long rumored, and now apparently confirmed, Adele will write and perform the theme song for Skyfall. The film has its worldwide premiere in just over a month — it doesn't open here in the US until November 9th — so there isn't much time for the singer/songwriter to get it together. And all in the final weeks (days?) of her pregnancy.

Recent Bond film songs have been less than memorable, but there is certainly some promise for this one.
