  • I agree with quite a few of Arnold's choices - particularly for his own scores. As for Spectre I'd probably pick 'Madeline' myself (I do like Donna Lucia but find it a little too similar to Severine from SF). Los Muertos Vivos Estan is also a lot of…
  • Not sure if anyone has seen this? It's interesting as David Arnold picks his favourite cues from each film and he's had some time to reflect which I think is interesting. Quite a good interview. Sounds like he's keen to hear the NTTD score like the …
  • I may be wrong but this seems very "fan-made" (the guitar part gives the game away - clearly more Midi rather than Marr) - wish people would stop trying to pass stuff like this off as "official" rather than marking it as "fan made" (presumably to ge…
  • Better than Newman but "by the numbers" and predictable. I'll reserve judgement until I see the film. Was kinda hoping Zimmer would shake it up a bit - and maybe he will - Braam Braams Daaa...
  • Couldn't disagree more - he's been in some pretty varied (and often quite successful) roles. I love the charm/confidence/arrogance he exudes and think he'd be a refreshing change from the "non-stop brooding" Bond of the Craig era.
  • Dan Stevens is the only one I can get behind at the moment - most of the others people posted on this threadare either too old/young or just plain wrong! This guy has the right set of attributes.
  • Not sure if it's directly lifted from the soundtrack - but the theme itself is a little easter egg from the film 'Until September' which Barry scored the year before (also set in Paris). There is at least one other small John Barry Easter egg refere…
  • Suspect this is better than what we actually end up with, but hope I'm wrong!
  • They might muck around with the gunbarrel all they want - beginning, end, middle, whatever (although seriously please stop - it always works best at the start). The one thing they won't do is play the Universal or MGM logo anywhere other the star…
  • Thank you for posting this, especially today of all days! I can't believe after all this time I've actually never watched this documentary before (even though I've John conduct the main Moviola theme in this with the English Chamber Orchestra during…
  • Not saying this is the case for this film - but generally Bond soundtracks are released a few days before the film hits in cinemas - and if that is the case - this would mean a December release? Nov 30th seems an odd day - being a Tuesday! I'd expec…
  • I've been unhappy with MGM for years, but this would be true of almost every studio - all seem fundamentally flawed in some way. If we look at the way WB are handling the DC franchise (poor) and the fact they didn't talk to filmmakers about movin…
  • I hope they aren't 'boxing themselves in' with this November strategy. The last thing we want right now is another embarrassment/postponement. If they plan to release in 2021 - I would announce the film as 'postponed indefinitely', but be ready to g…
  • You are assuming everything goes back to normal - personally I can't see this happening for some time (years rather than months) and I say this as a cinephile. The pandemic has changed general audience viewing habits - initially out of safety, but n…
  • I hear what you are saying, from a creative view point - an interesting idea. That said I don't think this would work for Bond unless it's a standalone dense period piece - and even then - the challenge would be getting the general audience to embra…
  • Nov 2021 doesn't seem viable - Nov 2020 certainly wasn't thanks to the start of flu season! I'm also not sure cinemas are going to be able to entice the same level of audience numbers back. Don't pin all your hopes on a vaccine fixing everything eit…
  • I can feel the pain both as a fan and for the marketing team (I run a film festival and I'm in a similar boat). That said - can't see any point of moving to Nov 2021 personally - especially if they are looking to capitalize on the western/european/U…
  • I thought the last decent gun-barrel was Goldeneye - I had few problems with any of the GB's up to this point, I've not been totally on-board with any that have followed since (but some are definitely worse than others).
  • As long as it's back at the start and there isn't any pretentious wording nonsense ala Mendes - I'll be fairly happy. I wish Zimmer pushed the boat out a bit more with that almost carbon-copy opening rendition though.
  • Mallory wrote: » I think there is a bit of creative editing trickery with that released Zimmer gunbarrel. I'm guessing this is purely speculation on your part? To me the format suggests: studio logos/gunbarrel/into an icy expanse. Perhaps you…
  • The above gunbarrel is glorious. So much better than everything since - well - Goldeneye...
  • Not a huge gaming fan myself, but just watched the teaser and stopped by here to say how much I like this new gunbarrel. It feels about 1000% times fresher than most of the recent film gunbarrels - modern but still has that unmistakable Binder look.…
  • Urgh - that TND car buzz-saw. Practically useless for any other purpose, reminded me of the very worst of Batman gadgets. Put me down for this one please...
  • I was convinced back in the day that George's vocals could have knocked a Bond tune out the park. Love the trumpet solo at the end of this track too, feels very Bondian to me...
  • Some speculation in this, but probably not too far from the truth: https://uk.news.yahoo.com/don-t-hold-breath-waiting-185631914.html
  • This all seems a little *too* predictable. I'd love it if they shook this up a bit, start with the Universal Logo, then Leo - y'know - just for a change! The one thing I am taking away from this is I believe the iris will expand to a vast icy expans…
  • Okay the good: sounds like it's back in the right place. The Meh - lacks any originality or oomph! Why oh why oh why: 1. Do they not understand the guitar twangy part makes this a lot more exhilarating? I hate Arnold for introducing this vastly …
  • We're also at the end of an era, so I suspect there is the thorny issue of "cast promotion" which is something to factor in here. I'm guessing Bond isn't in a position to keep pushing it back indefinitely like other franchises can, and Daniel presum…
  • I have no problem with Hardy - but he is 43 now and would most probably be 45 before the film comes out. Unlikely at best - plus the timing is all wrong (they are probably casually looking, but they won't pin anyone down until they have a script). T…
  • The first trailer looks like it had the M31 LUT or similar thrown on top. Cinematic? Okay. Trope? Definitely. Too many films, posters, TV shows use this (heck even me). I much prefer the grade on the new trailer - a little more distinctive, soulful …
