  • DoctorKaufmann wrote: Funny, Heil & Klimek actually are German composers collaborating with director Tom Tykwer (RUN LOA; RUN and THE PERFUME - STORY OF A MURDERER starring Ben Whishaw). I like their work. Dont forget this awesome piece! …
  • Newman. Still my favourite. If not him, then I wouldn't say no to: Steven Price (Gravity) Reinhold Heil & Johnny Klimek Ryan Amon (Elysium)
  • I actually love "The Valley of Shadows"! I imagine a very realistic, contemporary story - something about opium trade in Afghanistan...and you have parts of the CIA actually subsidizing poppy production and some corruption going on. Bond (and Lei…
  • I like short one- or two-word titles. Skyfall was a good example. Execute (I'm repeating myself, I know) Below Blood (some organization in a very deep Cold War bunker) Risk (might be better than Risico, which I still like) World Cut (a word pl…
  • Copenhagen_87 wrote: Lyonheart K due to start production in December option? That, IMO, is the only modern car posted so far that is BOND. Pure BOND.
  • I say give Newman another chance. I get what your criticisms are, but Arnold also needed some time to develop his more Bondian style. Giacchino would be awesome, too, but with Star Wars on the horizon for 2015, I very much doubt it.
  • Thomas Newman is just getting started. I vouch for him. :-B
  • So what do you people think of Tom Tykwer? He's directed big-budget (Cloud Atlas) and made a very good thriller with "The International", IMO. And he might have that "European vibe" (whatever that is!).
  • After finally seeing "Hanna", I am in the Joe Wright camp. Awesome, stylish movie. And Wright can do character as well - so there you go! Earlier somebody suggested Nicolas Winding Refn, the guy who did the wonderful "Drive". I would be very inte…

  • I guess a return of Leiter would be nice. Don't care about the freaking gunbarrel. Whatever. And how about a younger villain, for once? A crazy kid, heir to millions and bent on revenge...or something like this. Would make for an interesting c…
  • JWESTBROOK wrote: The Monteverde Me likey. Is it from somewhere else than the depths of your brain? :) How about these: Sandstorm (could be something with the Middle East, Terrorists, Oil etc.) Killer Rain (something in Brazil, p…
  • The Bond Rises. EDIT: didn't see mdo007's post. I rest my case.
  • The biggest concern I would have with a Nolan Bond: would he bring Hans Zimmer along? I hope not. Zimmer is the most overrated composer in the business, IMO. Aside from that: Please, oh PLEASE do it Chris!
  • Biggest question: Why does Bond go to Skyfall without any guns? I mean, he couldn't think that a few hunting rifles would be enough!
  • Just saw it for the first time. Yes, I did like it! I can't say I loved it, but it was a very well made film. I think in a way this felt more like a revenge film (or Die Hard or something like that) than a Bond movie. On the other hand I can't d…

  • fanbond123 wrote: Absolute proof the Bond producers DO NOT KNOW BEST when it comes to making all aspects of a modern James Bond film: ...blablabla This is actually absolute proof that the opposite is true. If you had had the gunbarrel at the…
  • That would be so phenomenal. P/W out Logan in Deakins in Mendes in Newman in Fiennes in Wishaw in Harris (?) Story: something with Quantum? Something where the stakes are bigger, less personal? Locations: India, Afghanistan, Brazil (Wo…
  • Does this mean that the likelihood of Mendes returning has increased?
  • Gustav_Graves wrote: So, in Holland Adele is still on Nr. 1 after three weeks :P. Leaves me with the following question: The best Bond fans live in Holland not the United Kingdom :-P? How about: quality isn't appreciated anymore in the UK? :)…

  • PeterGreenhill wrote: James Southall review at Movie-Wave here http://www.movie-wave.net/?p=2884#more-2884 I completely agree with this assessment. :) New favourite track: 28. Deep Water! Showcases almost all the styles of the score i…
  • It seems that some people heavily rely on all the traditional elements (gunbarrel, the "full-Monty") to identify a movie as a Bond movie. I don't. As soon as I see the actor, as soon as the suspense starts, as soon as there are some exotic locati…
  • FIRST IMPRESSIONS: (the ones I love are bold) - Grand Bazaar, Istanbul - suspense! Turkish tunes! wonderful intro... - Voluntary Retirement - only Newman can do emotions like the first 1 minute - New Digs - already discussed - very atmospheric …
