Hadn’t heard of Chris Cornell prior to watching CR, either.
Well, I did say most :D
White and Cornell were also both stars but not superstars. Cornell enjoyed considerable success with his band Soundgarden but was not at the pinnacle of his career when he did YKMN
2002 - 2008 Alicia Keys
2014 - 2015 Sam Smith
First year is the year there started.
Alicia Keys should have done Brosnan 5th and whas suprise of QOS.
Ed Sheeron (2016 - 2020) should do it if we follow same thing as Adele and Sam Smith.

Elton John going to quite music, The Lion King wil be his last project.
If there can let him do Bond 25 song on his tour who end at the end of 2019. If not him i stil think it should be a group or suprise artist.
Tina Turner and Madonna are moost fames choose with Brosnan. For my feeling Daniel Craig era that is Adele.
Both Sam Smith and Adele were massive British artists with huge interactional acclaim. Both artists had huge followings in the USA. Also, there big, theatrical balladeering suited Bond like a glove.
I can’t really think of many British artists in the same vein currently. Dua Lipa is the obvious one. But she’s known more for dance music.
I think they may go American. The obvious options of Beyonce and Lady Gaga seem out of the question – as both are likely to go for Oscar gold for A Star is Born and The Lion King.
However, the idea of Frank Ocean singing a Bond tune has seriously got me thinking…
The fact that someone could even sensibly suggest that Glen and Hume are a standard to emulate is staggering. The 80's film are by far the blandest photographically - that era of film robbed the films of the sleek sexiness that Bond earned with the likes of Ted Moore and Michael Reed in the 60's.
Out of interest, if production has been pushed back does that mean Bond 25 gave back or
I think the tracking shot in SP was more inspired by Orson welles
Glen was very on top of the action scenes, but not so great with the dialogue/drama scenes. If you take a look at, for example, the Bond and Leiter scene in the boat in TLD, the cutting is extremely tight, very little breathing space, in and out of the scene as quickly as possible because the staging was pretty clunky. And this can be seen in many, but certainly not all, of his drama scenes. The staging is very straight forward and not particularly inspired. Cary is in a dIfferent league in that regard.
Exactly.
Glen shot action beatifically. Both he and Arthur Wooster are class acts when it comes to filming action sequences and really showcasing those scenes by giving the audiences a clear idea of spatial geography and the genuine risk involved. It's the chief reason they were such good second-unit directors.
However, Glen's staging can be rather shoddy at times. For example, in TLD, the scene in Pushkin's room when the guard breaks in is badly put together staged. Also, the scene where Bond gets poioned by Kara. It's very rudimentary stuff and uninspiring stuff.
Cary will direct the drama expertly. He has shown a passion for action, but has yet to do a proper 'action film'. He's one of the few film school directors the series has had, so I imagine he's boning up now on action cinema.
I think Bond would be happy to have them. The question might be more about whether they're interested in Bond.
Good with Bond for sure, but outside Bond, well --- Columbus, a motor racing thriller for US TV (can't recall the title), Iron Eagle 5, several episodes of Gerry Anderson's badly dated Space Precinct, etc. But Glen is and remains a very charming man and great fun to work with.
I was lucky enough to meet John in the last couple years, and I agree!
A very friendly man who seemed to have all the time in the world for me as we talked about Bond, and life. His Bond films (especially FYEO) were among the first to have a major impact on me once I came into the world of 007, and it was a pleasure to meet him and share some of that.
He also has that wonderful quality of curiosity, in that he seemed as interested to know more about me as I was about him. We had a very "two-way" conversation, perhaps more than I expected just because he's such a major cinematic persona to me.
His insights about the modern 007 films are very sharp, too. We shared a lot of common ground in that respect. I'll be looking forward to his reaction to Bond 25.
Really?
I'm not one to question personal taste. But OP is saved by the locations (in particular India) but the Berlin portion (which is very much filmed in Peterborough) is rather flat.
Also, for me, FYEO is one of the least interesting Bond films photographically. The best shot Bond film are really:
1. YOLT
2. OHMSS
3. TSWLM
4. SF
You could probably add CR to that list - along with GE and TWINE at a stretch.
As long as they are more menacing and better fighters. But I'm OK with the trail of corpses they leave behind.
I'd actually be down for a "Bond defeats main villain and then the henchman comes for him in the final scene as revenge" scene again. It's been quite a while since we've had that. Tomorrow Never Dies?
Why? It's not like you know her personally or she's committed some haenous crime. She's a very talented singer and that's all that should matter.
I'll be honest, I've never been a fan of that because it comes off as anti-climatic to me. Though admittedly that worked pretty well at the end of DAF.
Frank Ocean would be an inspired choice by EON. Sure more "cred" than the regular big names being mentioned. It's like Arctic Monkeys; throw them into the studio with the composer of choice, and we can be quite sure we get something interesting, IMO.
But you lost me on TWINE. I don’t know what Adrian Biddle did on that film but it’s so dull and gray and drab looking. Compare it to Phil Meheux’s work on ENTRAPMENT that same year which is gorgeous! Looks more Bondish than TWINE and I typically like to defend TWINE on a plot level.
