Producer Michael G. Wilson told Britain's The Sun newspaper: "I would love to get Duffy to sing the next tune. I think she is wonderful. Amy Winehouse would be good too.

"We have started work on the new film, which I can't say anything about. Daniel Craig is very keen to get going."

Back to Black singer Amy Winehouse was due to submit a track for Quantum of Solace with producer Mark Ronson, but sessions were stopped as she reportedly "wasn't ready" to record.

Another Way To Die, performed by Jack White of The White Stripes and soul singer Alicia Keys, was later chosen as the theme song.

Duffy - whose song Mercy picked up the PRS Most Performed Work prize at the Ivor Novello Awards yesterday has revealed she is to make her film debut, although admits she isn't too enthusiastic about it.
