@CraigMooreOHMSS, I wasn´t aware of the Madsonic thing, that´s interesting.
Desplat would be fantastic imho. Pemberton would be decent too but as I've mentioned before, I sometimes feel that his scores overshadow and distract from the proceedings on screen, rather than compliment the visuals.
He delivered a cracking score for the otherwise execrable Dark Tower.
I would suggest to move all discussion on who might score the next Bond to this thread. Also, the first speculations already arise whether Fukanaga will bring in Dan Romer for the score (people are way ahead of things, as usual). So what do we think about this guy?
A quick sampling on Spotify/Deezer etc. lets me conclude that Romer prefers electronic music and small string ensemble. Not a good fit in my opinion. What do others think?
Burwell also provided additional music for Mercury Rising, which was of course composed by Barry.
You're right, I'd forgotten about that!
Me too. Burwell did the music for And the Band Played On, which is some of the most stirring, haunting film music I have ever heard:
Burwell's style can sometimes emulate Howard Shore, whom I would also be fine with.
I've been championing Djawadi for years. I wouldn't say that he's an up-and-comer any more though. He fills stadiums globally with his GoT concert and is well known in the composer community. I think he could deliver a killer score for Bond.
He'd certainly be very good too.
A track from Hans Zimmer's OST for Widows (the heist film with Viola Davies and Liam Neeson). He's still got the goods:
He hasn't been as prolific of late, or if he has I've perhaps not seen the films he's composed. I was looking forward to Widows before, but now am doubly so.
True. But the composer they settle on will need to match both the tone of the film and CJF's style. I don't see Arnold, Newman, or even Zimmer being that person. But I can be wrong. At the same time, CJF is not going to ask to bring in a nobody, either. It would be a composer with cred, but also with a style and sound that suits the film.
Oh, I can't abide Zimmer. I find his music instantly forgettable, just as do Newman's.
I like Mansell, too. He did some strong brassy work on SAHARA, which I think I posted a few pages back. Here it is again, regardless.
And there’s a good reason for that: Mansell’s orchestrator on Sahara was the same as Arnold’s—Nicholas Dodd. I’m sure Dodd helped give Mansell’s writing that action movie feel.
Dodd is one of the best in the biz.
