    I was under the impression that one of the main complaints leveled against Newman by his detractors on this board is that he doesn't give us enough Bond theme.

    There's bound to be lots of changes and surprises regarding who's in and out for B25 as the next six months come to pass. So I wouldn't get excited either way right now.

    That was his biggest problem for me yes. The recycling was the other issue.

    So your 10 years 'moratorium' on the Bond theme, had it been in place in 2002 after DAD,
    The thing is, sonny boy, that my moratorium didn't start in 2002. It started today.

    I really want a director that is artistic and captures the aspect of Bond.
    The landscape really says a lot about a Bond film. That's why CR, QOS and SP all had amazing scenery but SF felt lackluster. For example..

    Say you have a snow scene, camera shows pov of Bond and hundreds of snowflakes in the wind showing that he can hardly see anything. The wind is so loud (no music) the audience can hear it and feel it. Then we have some badass instrumental Bond music, kinda in your face brass and drums.

    That's what's missing for me. We need more scenes like that. Not just an action piece but scenes that have feeling to it. The music has also been dealt lackluster. A few good tracks here and there but when I re watched Thunderball the other night man with my surround sound the instrumentals really get you. I don't feel that with any of the newer Bond films.

    What the hell are you two on about? This argument is beyond juvenile to say the least, nor does it need to clog the thread any further.

    Oh, so after Newman used the Bond theme more times than David Arnold? Yep, you really are total idiot, aren't you?

    @DaltonCraig007 And when does a Bond film become unrecognizable as a Bond film in your opinion? Is it when the Bond theme can't be heard during every action scene? Is it when Bond doesn't use a gadget every 5 minutes? Or is it when Bond doesn't wear a suit or tuxedo 24/7? :)) .

    Proof there that you are not a Bond fan as you've never seen an actual Bond film. So, please leave this Bond community as you don't belong here as 1. you hate James Bond 2. you've never seen a Bond film, thus you aren't a Bond fan.

    You threaten to stop being a' Bond fan' if Nolan didn't direct Bond 26, so why don't you just leave now you childish Bond hater? What kind of Bond fan would threaten to leave the fandom like that if they were ever true fans to begin with? You are just a faker, and your true personality has been proven enough times.

    The hate on Mendes is a bit much.

    Im pretty sure when babs runs the numbers she takes note that both of his films netted over 2 billion.

    Reactions are coming in for Blade Runner. Seems it's living up to the hype. Man I hope Dennis hops on Bond 25! He's essentially a Spielberg/Nolan type who is just hitting their peak. Get him before it's too late

    one last update from account: The BCF listing caused the story about Newman's return. Now that we know it's false, we're back to square one regarding #Bond25's composer.

    Because a new Bond25 tweet shown that Newman's name was removed from the project. Whether he will return or not is anyone's guess but I really hope it means he won't return.

    I'm really really curious now about "Blade Runner 2049". People are also raving about the female lead in the film. Our own Dutch Sylvia Hoeks. Could she be the new 'Alicia Vikander'? And could she be potential Bond girl material??

    My big issue with Newman,which I find inexcusable in SP,is recycling the SF music...totally lazy and uninteresting,doesnt do the film any favours at all.

    We need this guy on board.
    We for sure don´t need him (what we need it focus on a good film, not on who´s the most hyped director), but if BR 2049 turns out as good as it seems Eon probably will stop at nothing to get him.

    Does Villeneuve have a preferred composer he works with?
    Johan Johannson, but he´s also willing to sacrifice if the studio is big enough. I don´t believe it was Villeneuve´s will or decision to switch Johannson for Zimmer/Wallfisch on BR 2049.

    They are worlds apart. Villeneuve has the content that Nolan pretends to have.

    I find it pretty disgusting how Sam Mendes and Thomas Newman are being treated in here. Disrespectful to say the least. How most people scream "Hallelujah!!" when only the tiniest news about Thomas Newman is being released, to me is offensive. Did we do that for Guy Hamilton's or John Glen's less critically aclaimed Bond films? I don't think so.
    That´s because they were less pretentious and had much more value.

    I was referring to the situation popularity-wise. Otherwise, what you said is very true.

    Ana de Armas is the female lead and she got more raves so far than Sylvia Hoeks. As for either of them being the new Alicia Vikander, I sure hope not. Vikander is the single WORST actress of her generation and she is the only living actor I despise.

    Can you please stop LYING and/or misinterpreting what I write? I will never stop being a Bond fan, what I wrote is that if Nolan is not directing the first movie of the next era, I'm out, meaning I won't follow the development of the movies of that era closely like I follow Bond 25 now and followed the development of the past few Bond films. I will always be a fan of the Bond movies I'm a fan of right now (chiefly: DN, FRWL, OHMSS, GE, CR, SF).

    Finally something we agree on. Thing is, at first, when I saw her in the first UNCLE trailer, I took a liking to her. But, after watching it, I found it average. Her performance that is. Ever since that film, Vikander played the same character all over again, and dare I say, she's one of those overrated actresses of all time. I don't know what Hollywood sees in her really. She's got no charisma. I sincerely hope she doesn't get into the Bond franchise.

    I'm surprised you aren't super offended and angered again that Alicia Vikander is described there as an 'actor' instead of 'actress'. Don't you have a strong stance against sexism?

    Good, at least I don't have to read the PM you sent me last night, where I assume you told me to stop attacking you all the time, as it would now be meaningless as you are the only one making personal attacks at the moment. Also, try to be more offensive and insulting, because I'm nowhere near as angered and shocked by your post as you are towards mine whenever I reply to you, so I'm afraid you're at a disadvantage.

    Also, don't forget to use a dot at the end of your message. Unless the peak of your personal attack is missing, in which case I can't wait to be 'offended'.
