Thank you my big friend. One big hug and kiss >:D<
Please explain why this is so.
Hopefully Thomas Newman doesn't, as it could well be him scoring this film.
He mainly works with Abrams on his works, doing the scores for Star Trek (2009) and Super 8. I think he'd be great. I also think a Abrams-Giacchino Duo would be greater, but hey. In Star Trek he keeps a similar theme throughout his works, but making each unique- just like most Bond films. I love movies, like YOLT, that have the same general notes, but on different instruments and at different tones. Beautiful.
EDIT: He also did Cars 2, Up, Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol, Mission: Impossible 3, and many seasons of Lost. Oh, and super suave The Incredibles soundtrack.
Here's some of my favorites of his:
If this doesn't win you over, I don't know what will:
And more..
This one, at about :53, could definitely be Bond material, perhaps a trailer.
And this one, at 2:33, just beautiful. Especially if you've seen the movie.
Okay, I'll stop spamming now
I like Giacchino as well, but it seems all his scores are too "big" and "complex" for a Bond film.
The first video, which you may have missed because I kept adding videos, sounds so Barry. Its the first Incredibles video.
Yes his scores are complex, but I feel thats not too big a problem to manage ;) I compare his scores to something like a YOLT score.
PSYCH, didn't add it, here it is:
For sure?? Only thing I know for sure that I have to pee :-/. What's your source?
That INCREDIBLES cue you posted is far more complex (not in a good way) and erratic than anything in Barry's YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE.
Is it *just* your gut feeling or do you have a source?
I'm not saying THAT score would fit in YOLT, or any other Bond film for that matter. I'm just saying he knows how to use percussion and horns, unlike ehem Arnold. Overall its a good score. He's never touched relied on techno, and goes easy on the strings. His pieces ALWAYS fit his movies. Star Trek, Super 8, Incredibles.. they all fit their movies perfectly. He is not an erratic composer, Incredibles had erratic pieces because it had erratic sequences. Its hard to argue he isn't talented, at best!
Fixed ;)
Never will a louder swear have been heard in my street than that day.
It would be bad if Bond producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Brocolli were signing contracts that passively. Look to how EON basically dumped Pierce Brosnan from his role. They could easily do that with David Arnold. Not that the Bond producers are a bunch of *********, but only because everytime they are really committed to create the best Bond film ever.
Mod edit: language, dear friend, language.
Only if he'd return to his golden days of ENEMY OF THE STATE and SPY GAME.
I actually forgot. David Arnold is very busy with the London Olympics.
