  • May I say something highly controversial. I'm a book man. So I'm a Fleming fan. That's why I'm a James Bond fan. I adore the first four Bond films and OHMSS. But books are my thing. I've been a writer for most of my life and I live surrounded by tho…

  • Dan Romer loves his cellos. Most of his soundtracks feature a cello at some point. Another TLD's reference? ;) Kidding of course. But the thing is, I want brass, lots of brass in the soundtrack. I want the 007 theme back. I want a full orchestral re…

  • @jetsetwilly, out of curiosity, don't you like anything that's come out about the film? Pictures, the production video, the crew and cast,... Just wondering. I understand the criticism. But I can't help but think this has been an era in which the…
  • The guy may even get out of his comfort zone and give us something completely different of what he's done before. I liked his Maniac soundtrack best. It had a bit of everything, so it shows he's eclectic. Now if only he could tap in to the Barry sou…
  • The return of great posters. Now if Bond 25 would jump on that train ;)
  • Thank you @bondsum! Clarity, finally!
  • Can someone post a track of his that’s representative of his skills?

  • That depends, who would make for a better Kyûzô, Sean Connery or Hiroyuki Sanada? Who would make a better modern day Poirot? David Suchet or John Malkovich? One would be deprived of its ethnicity, and the other would be deprived of its definin…
  • Ludovico wrote: » Red_Snow wrote: » @Ludovico They're make up. So we know Bond will sustain some minor wounds. Are the London scenes being shot at the end of the movie? You'd get that if you'd fallen through an entire bar ;)
  • Right... BTW, Bond doesn't have to be tall or fit or savvy or suave or action oriented or a womaniser or like sports cars and baccarat to be BRITISH. So why should he be all those things. Those things are not markers for britishness. Not in nowadays…

  • Thank you, guys, for the photos. After seeing that video, I stand corrected. No flashback there. They're filming the two Land Rovers chasing the Toyota. It's all the same shoot. The mystery thickens.
