British rockers Status Quo are working on their very own action film in the vein of James Bond, reports NME.com.

Titled Bula Quo!, the movie will feature a soundtrack of 12 "classic" songs from the London-based band. It is currently being shot in Fiji, with US comic Jon Lovitz and former EastEnders actor Craig Fairbrass joining the cast. British stunt co-ordinator turned director Stuart St Paul is in charge of the cameras for the project, which will hit cinemas next year.

"The one thing Quo fans know is to expect the unexpected," said singer Francis Rossi. Guitarist Rick Parfitt added: "This is an amazing chance for us to do something new and we're all really excited."

It is not known whether Rossi and Parfitt plan to star in the film themselves or merely take producers' credits.

The band are currently working on a new album and will release a single titled The Winner later this month to coincide with the Olympic Games.
