As spotted by ConversationDue8475 on Reddit<\/a>, Lana Del Rey has registered a song with ASCAP (the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers) that shares its name with IO Interactive’s new James Bond game: First Light.<\/p>\n

That’s not exactly a smoking gun, given that Del Rey has an album coming out and this could be an unrelated song that just happens to have the same name. But come on, Lana Del Rey would be a perfect fit for a Bond theme of the smoky Nancy Sinatra variety. I reckon she could manage a brassier Shirley Bassey-type song too.<\/p>\n

And it would be justice for the fact she wrote a theme for Spectre that ultimately went unused in favor of Sam Smith’s song, Writing’s On the Wall. (The song Del Rey wrote for it was eventually released under the name 24<\/a>, Spectre being the 24th Bond movie.)<\/p>\n

After seeing 30 minutes of 007 First Light gameplay<\/a>, our Tyler Wilde came away surprised by how impressive the shooting was. While there’s gunplay in IO Interactive’s Hitman games, it’s never been the main attraction\u2014if you end up going loud it’s usually because something’s gone wrong. When the reckless young James Bond of First Light goes loud, complete with Max Payne slow-mo, it seems more like a good time.<\/p>\n

If Lana Del Rey happened to be singing over the top of James Bond leaping sideways while shooting his Walther PPK in slow-motion, that could only make it better. 007 First Light will be out on March 27 of next year.<\/p>\n
