  • Now we know why Sam Mendes seemed evasive and aloof about directing Bond 24 in that previous interview. He had already signed the contract to direct the film and was feigning disinterest. Given his superb performance in that interview, he should be …

  • Mendes' attitude might be feigned... We don't know. Even if Mendes has already signed a contract to direct Bond 24, he wouldn't announce it at that interview. We must wait and see.

  • Muse, or perhaps Adele again, would be nice. I also like the suggestion of Michael Bublé. I could see him doing a great modern Bond song in the FRWL vein of Matt Munro.

  • I, too, hope Newman will return. Every time I re-watch the Skyfall Blu-Ray, my esteem for his score continues to grow.

  • Sad news that Sam Mendes won't return. I would hate to see a generic action director like Lee Tamahori be hired. Maybe Tomas Alfredson, Joe Wright, Fernando Meirelles, or Tom Hooper will step up.

    in The Score of Skyfall Comment by Strelik February 2013
  • While viewing Skyfall in the theater, only three scenes triggered my "odd CGI" radar: 1. The komodo dragons, 2. the helicopters, and 3. Silva's facial transformation. Otherwise, everything else seemed acceptable.
