Script fair enough but if by sharing Dan and Mendes were not happy about using a Sony mobile ruins Spectre for anyone..then you need professional help with answers you won't find in any Bond movie. I would get your point if it was script related but the story about Sony offering Dan £3M just to hold a Sony phone later trying to cut him out the deal asking for Q to hold it for peanuts was all over the tabloid front pages.
Just saying innit. Leaks is leaks.

Your licence to kill is revoked, and I require you to hand over your weapon. Now. I need hardly remind you that you're still bound by the Official Secrets Act.
"Do I look like I give a damn?!!"
:-P
Nicely played.
until I found out she worked for Spectre!"
I fear my days as a lyricist are over already. I'll get my coat!
No, I like it! Very ... modern. Maybe I can contribute.
How about this: the second stanza, from Blofeld's POV
"He was Achilles to my Hector,
he wiped the floor with my dear Spectre."
Indeed. Any connection between Apple and the release and/or marketing of the title song is worth considering on this thread.
Bond killed Dr. No and stole my Lektor,
but he will never defeat my fabolous SPECTRE!
It was all set to go the same way with Spectre as Smith's name was mentioned first at interviews after the first press conference. I think EON didn't want the same thing again they wanted some mystery and more speculation so that when it was announced it would be more of a surprise and not so obvious.
What's £15000 to a billion dollar film series? I'm not saying they orchestrated every rumour but Smith played along with the Ellie Goulding comment and it seemed the press genuinely got on board with RH rumour with some claiming Mendes even wanted them.
After that it only took forums and the rest of the internet to fan the flames and take people off the idea of Sam Smith when it was always him.
Very possible, although I'm not sure where that would put EON from an ethical perspective. I can imagine a bit of a furore if it got out they were actually using gambling as a means to spread disinformation, rather than planting the seeds through the regular avenues. I personally think it would be a savvy move, but I have a sneaking suspicion the lawyers might have balked at the idea.
Well I think that's a bit too conspiracy theory...but don't you think it is entirely possible that Radiohead after all are doing a song for Spectre? Maybe the end theme or just another one that will be on the soundtrack. It wouldn't surprise me and I actually would find that great because for an end theme or an additional song everything is fair game. I even would love Radiohead to do something not too commercial.
It's an idiom. Similar to 'Off the Wall', one of the greatest albums ever made.
100% agreed. A work of genius.
That's why I am against Bond theme titles that are not the movie title. But I'm obviously in a minority here with that opinion.
Another Way To Die was at least an original title that could have been the movie's title as well.
Writing's On The Wall sounds so common.
I'd like that to be right but I think it's more likely the case that that isn't going to happen. The whole RH thing threw people off the scent of Sam Smith and it was quite a savvy move.
The bet just sounds just too convenient on EON's part. Look I'm looking forward to hear what he comes up with and if I like I'll gladly come here and eat humble pie.
I'd rather we got a classic than a lame song just so I can say I was right. Who knows BJB006 you might be right about RH, I hope I'm wrong, they managed to keep that Four Tet track under wraps that was on the end credits of QOS so who knows maybe an RH tune might be included on the credits and like you I'd like that.
I'll probably buy the 7" of the theme as long as I don't utterly hate it, I've got AWTD and Skyfall.
I don't see why that would mean you're against them. You mean you're against idioms wholesale?
Anyhow, I'm sure you're not in the minority. I like a theme with a correlating title as much as the next man, but if there's a valid artistic reason for changing, as their clearly was with YKMN, I don't think it matters.
The Radiohead rumour was debunked 2 or 3 days after the bet story by Chris Evans. Quite a few here did not want to believe him because actually working in the entertainment business seems to be irrelevant for them, but the truth is that it's actually key to have hearsay and to feel what is true and what is not. RC7 was I think here amongst the first to give reasons it could be Smith (too much denial is weird at this stage) before the actual announcement and he works in this business...
I don't think the music video will top this one though!
After the quote above from December's 2014, We can now see that somehow you guys here acted like a "negative prophet". It is Sam. But they've got Ellie Goulding as well.
