Leona Lewis is reportedly set to sing the title track for the forthcoming James Bond film, 'Quantum of Solace'.

The Sun claims that producers of the movie have opted for Lewis over their initial choice, Amy Winehouse.

Winehouse had long been rumoured to record the track, however her producer Mark Ronson recently abandoned recording sessions with her after he felt that her personal problems were affecting her ability to work.

Lewis has become a major star since her victory on 'The X Factor' two years ago, and is now well-known in the US.

A source told The Sun: "It looks like Leona has finally won the race. She is seen as one of the few candidates who has the right profile both sides of the pond to do it."

On Amy Winehouse, the source added: "Amy was their original choice but she just can't get her act together and hasn't got the right image.

"The Bond guys now look set on Leona. She is reliable and has a great voice for it. Hopefully something could be announced soon."
