The original theme before it was rejected was better, Radiohead's Man of War was the one before it was rejected due to being a track that RH had been playing live although never released for well over a decade.
Sam Mendes confirmed last year on 6 Music that this was the theme and then they rejected it and went to Smith.
Their Spectre track was never going to be the theme, Mendes considered having in the film but it never worked. He said though that he saw the YouTube thing you posted and thought maybe it would have worked.
I've said before and I'll say it again it got the theme it deserved to have one of my favourite bands attached to such a terrible Bond film would have been a bitter pill to swallow.
Hopefully they'll not go for the flavour of the month and the likes of Sheeran or Ezra won't be considered. Hopefully The Arctic Monkeys or someone of substance will be picked but after chasing the big hit factor with the last 2, I wouldn't be surprised if it's those 2 or Dua Lipa.
I'll live with a substandard song if the film is the best one since CR, I've given up on this era giving us anything as good as YKMN again.
I'm open to be proved wrong though.
Feel free to email me and we can shut this down for good.
Best

On another note, why have we not gotten painted posters anymore? Those were the best. The latest poster designs have been very lacking -- CR and QOS were fine if unremarkable, but SF and SP were truly uninspiring. A far cry from the best posters of the franchise.
I think that painted posters are more expensive than the photoshopped ones. Although I do agree that painted posters are far superior and should make a return to Bond.
Claps and applauses
Lol I've never cared for nuts in cookies anyway.
Well, that's actually true for me as well. Never cared for nuts in general.
Same.
You're the reason I drink.
Guess the reason is cost and timeframe. I read an interview with Rudy Obrero, the artist who made the US poster artwork for NSNA. In the interview he tells he used 30 days in total for his poster concepts. I highly doubt any creative agency will have that timeframe to work on poster designs (alone) these days. It's much easier to work on pictures from a photo shoot (or stills from the movie itself), rather than hire an artist to work on a medium that requires more time – and additional time on top of that, should the design require alterations.
It's a shame really, as illustrated artwork can be absolutely fantastic to look at. We can of course hope some illustrated variant posters for B25, but I highly doubt it. The poster campaigns for the Craig era (the last three at least) have been done by Empire Design.
I'm personally cool with you. I just think that you should remember to treat people with respect and not build campaigns attempting to embarrass and humiliate people. You have a lot of respect from mi6community members due to your professional ties and they will often take your side regardless. You shouldn't wield that power to belittle people.
Also, Justin Kroll (he broke the Boyle and MAlek news) tweeted this:
This was the last great poster for my money.
Great poster. I like the TWINE poster quite a bit too though.
Could be almost anything still. Hoping for Bond, but I won’t hold my breath on it.
I really like the TND one-sheet, mainly because the stuff in the poster (Carver's face on the TV screens) is actually relevant to the film. I have no issue with Photoshop, personally, but I do have an issue with lazy designs. The Craig-era posters have been rather dull since CR.
He replied to my tweet.
Yes, the GE poster is great as far as photographic posters goes. i Also liked the TWINE posters. Both films posters are heavy on collage elements, which the illustrated posters used as well. Would really like a similar approach for B25!
I would be happy.
Either I’ll be back happier and more excited than ever before OR I’ll be back just to announce my retirement from mi6commumity (if the title is Shatterhand or if Waltz is back) OR I’ll be back to throw the biggest temper tantrum this forum has EVER seen (if there is no press conference on the 1st of March the latest).
Either way, see you in 22 days. Enjoy the next 3 weeks!
