should it return? - Definitely
will it return? - Doubtful
the rights to that tune belonged to the late Mr. John Barry.
Agreed with what Haserot says. I'd be curious to hear a "tweaked" version of it - I don't think that the classic version - such as from FRWL - would work in very many scenes in a modern film. However, given the right circumstances it would be very cool and (to the general public!) different.
I agree, that's why I'd love to see if could be updated while maintaining the essence of the original.
I don't think we will get it as we are all awaiting the James Bond theme in an action set piece to return?!!!!
I agree. We have not heard the famed 007 theme since DAF. It is as if it never existed. A pity.
It made a comeback in Moonraker.
but even if you credit someone for their work - you still can't use it without permission being given first.
Eon (Broccoli) and Lauire barry are good friends so if John's 007 theme was wanted in SkyFall then there would be no probs there!!
Bits of the theme would work such as the rift from 8 - 13 seconds in the below video. Small hints would add something to the proceedings such as when Bond is running, think the recent photos, for example. Even the background beat throught the theme is great, just on it's own.
You really think this is so? If this is the case it should show up as soon as Anrold gets his hands on another Bond score.
I'm afraid to the average movie goer this theme is simply forgotten. They would probably not even recognise it - neither the original version, not to speak of an adaption. All they expect and want to hear is the JB theme..
Thus I don't think Eon will take the bother to 1. license the piece and (if license would be granted at all) 2. have it adapted to fit a modern movie.
It's just too much effort for just some Bond geeks (sorry guys ;-)) to appreciate.
As well as making up for all the films it hasn't been in, I agree. If it is able to be used, give the composer the choice to decide, if they want to use it or not. EON should at least be open to idea and as you say @RogueAgent, it's by far the best way to honour Barry's work for Bond bar the main theme itself.
Their "Thunderball" is absolutely beautiful, as well as all the others.
If you listen to Alpine Escape from Nightfire (1:30) you can hear it in there...
