All the London scenes are going to be scene 130'ish to scene 160'ish. That's equivelant to the train scenes and Bond arriving at Blofeld's lair in SP, which are 95 minutes to 105 minutes into the movie. In B25 there's a showdown/climax after the Lon…

@jetsetwilly For me - it has been all downhill since CR, and I really want Craig to leave on a high note. Arnold's that is. And yes I think that the director, editor(s) and DOP are given too much creative control. Broccoli would never have allowe…

@tqb Yes, Romer is a synth-and-beep guy, but let's not be entirely unfair: judging from his IG, he plays several instruments, so a musician he most certainly is. Less synth-and-beep experiments and more strings, horns and brass - traditional Bond…

Not looking good, since everyone on the threads are linking to the same no-melody synth overload example of his to prove his capabilities. There are some decent countrymusic cues in his Far Cry score, however. This is the best I have found from Rome…

Dan Romer. Not impressed at all. From the article: "He could be as bold as Fukunaga allows, experimenting with strange sounds and quirky, eclectic unpredictability." Was hoping for a classic Bondian score, and Arnold back, but I guess I'll have t…
