    Funny enough I was looking through my CD shelf and found a copy of The Rock soundtrack that I didn't even know I had. I don't remember when I got it. It must have been around the time I found a pair of Opera glasses that look like the ones Bond used in the beginning of TLD.

    There's a certain schadenfreude I'm feeling with regards to EoN completely bypassing David Arnold. We're incredibly lucky to have Zimmer doing this. This is the man that scored Gladiator!!!!

    I suppose that N. Peal ad didn't really give EON second thoughts after all.

    I always liked the theme from Rain Man.



    Other than that, I can't say I find Zimmer's music very memorable. He seems to be the composer who makes quality music that accompanies a film's scene, but it usually isn't too powerful to take the scene over. This is the opposite of Barry IMO, but it's probably what many directors like.

    I'm not sure I'll like this, but let's see.

    It's a good thing I like wine occasionally. ;)
    I'll try to return when there is more news.

    I like him, but there were moments during Interstellar that it sounded like he fell asleep on his keyboard.

    This is epic....

    (I think Zimmer will do a variation of his Batman scores for Bond - after all, Batman/Bruce Wayne is basically the American James Bond.)

    Pretty sure that bit was Junkie XL, as he was scoring the music for Batman's story while Zimmer would focus on Superman's story. This was done because Zimmer didn't want to touch Batman again after having done enough with Nolan's Batman films.

    Speaking of which, Junkie XL would have been a great pick too for Bond!

    It's pretty good, but unfortunately that's all Junkie XL's work. They split the workload as Zimmer felt his music for the Nolan Batman films would be too much of an influence on him when it came to finding a new theme for Affleck's version of the character.

    But, I guess Junkie did a good job replicating Hans' sound, so I suppose your sentiment is ultimately left intact, and he very well may do that!

    That's interesting: I didn't know that.

    Yeah, the thing is Zimmer recently, has scored a lot of Sci-fi movies, that's why it always seems as if his scores are the same....Coz they're obviously about the same genre. and why it felt as if he slept on his Keyboard was coz it's a movie about space....and some tracks should feel like one is in space....some sort of silence i think. These days once a movie involves Space or Sci-fi or anything Big, RCP composers seem to be the first on studios' list. NTTD looks a gargantuan Bond film....so it's no surprise Zimmer is involved.
  • As I understand it, the plan was that Zimmer would do Superman. However, in the end he scored most (if not all) the Batman stuff.....I'm sure there is someone here who could clarify.

    He confirms it here at 03:50 minutes:

    Interesting. Nobody can say he doesn't care after that!

    Edit: Laughed when Hans refers to Tina Guo as "well put together".

    I guess it’s highly unlikely now that the score will have the melody from the title track woven into it!

    Would’ve of killed them to have Arnold back? And actually collaborate with the title track artist?

    Also Craig really deserves a Bassey title track! Connery has 2, Moore had one. dalton wasn’t around long enough and Brosnan got Bassey light with Tina Turner.

    And yeah I know you could count No good about goodbye but damn it would’ve been sweet to see Craig off with everything that made his debut perfection.

    Jeffery Wright, talented director, awesome Collins casting, David Arnold doing his best Bind work and ending Craig’s era with a score and title track to mark the 25th film as a celebration of everything Bond!

    Skyfall is DC's Bassey track.

    I don't think there's any reason to think that. He's used other peoples' compositions in his work before, and he'll certainly be expected to use the Bond theme. And as the title song is probably done now there might even be more chance of using it.

    Pretty much.

    Bassey isn't doing another Bond song. Not Paul McCartney. Not Tom Jones. Not Duran Duran. They all had their time, let new artists get a crack at the title song.

    I love Zimmers scores and look forward to his Bond music but wouldn't it have been simpler and cheaper to have hired Arnold from the start instead of an untried composer who has no experience of scoring a film as big as Bond?

    Scratch one director and one composer... 😕

    Perhaps, but it would have been less interesting. That it ultimately leads to Zimmer was worth it.

    Well hopefully it will be worth it but my confidence in the producer's is at an all time low at the moment...

    This 30 minutes piece of music is the best thing ever happened to a superhero film. Zimmer at his prime.

    Must say I'm excited for this. Zimmer knows how to work a theme.
