It's somebody called Jesper Kyd and it turns out he's done tons of games, TV shows and films. He's never done a big blockbuster film before and even if it's not Bond, I reckon he deserves to do one.
He is, and I think he deserves a shot at scoring a big, blockbuster movie.
Tyler could do it. He can score action well. I guess it depends on the type of Bond film they're making. An action score wouldn't have suited SF, for example.
Some of my favorite pieces of his:
Yeah true. I think he would've suited something like QOS or TND (probably the most action packed Bond movies) perfectly.
They have had some of the Bourne team involved previously, so I don't see why not. That shouldn't even factor anyway. What should is Powell's great talents.
Exactly the Oscar winning Sound mixing folks.
Powell is really good.
If you're on the fence about his Bourne-ishness, listen to Hog Chase Part 1&2 from the Paycheck score. Could very easily have been in a Bond movie.
Unfortunately he's 81. I think he might be passed his 007-phase. ;-) I say unfortunately because I would have liked a Williams Bond score very much. The 80s would have been his playground.
Also, regardless of the composer, I would love to see the return of the 007 Theme (NOT in any way similar to the James Bond Theme) in battle sequences!
I can't believe that someone would take Reznor seriously as a movie composer, even less put him in the same place where John Barry worked many years. One thing is to create some "industrial" sound and mix some notes. Another thing is to compose music for an entire orchestra, fitting it to action, romantic and dramatic scenes, and if that is not enought, having to stay respectful of a tradition - incorporing the Bond theme, using of metal section, ecc.
Obviously not. I'd like something I haven't heard 30 times before.
Amen! I don't see Zimmer's appeal. I find him to be a lazy generic overrated composer who does the same thing every movie, slightly different each time.
If they were to make a darker tone Bond film (ala LTK) again he would be perfect
My favorite track of The Incredible Hulk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5NCpBIK9Wvk
Also make the music for The Quiet American http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xD83kjSDvE
And like the 2 composers his music is also used for The Dutch version of the Dutch/Belgium program Wie Is De Mol. The Bone Collector http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Md7-5gQai_Y
His moost present project be The Great Gatsby remake. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGLd8oktf98
The reasen that i like to see David Arnold and Thomas Newman make the score togther is that Newman disapointed me in Asian parts and connection with Adele something David Arnold be very good in. On other side Newman bring in something fresh with his music in Turkey, England scenes and scene's iam happy we don't have David Arnold DAD style. Also i whant get ridd of the Twine boat chase as end credits, so David Arnold should created something new.
Honestly, I think it's going to be Newman or Arnold back in the BOND 24 chair, depending on if Newman isn't in the EON doghouse and has realized where he went wrong. He really didn't get how a Bond soundtrack should sound, but he can do better and showed some real flashes of his brilliance when he followed the formula. Mendes may have to do some ass kissing for him if these rumors I'm hearing from my industry contacts are true. I know EON would welcome Arnold back from the same sources.
Nothing wrong per se with John Williams or Hans Zimmer, but I don't see them as compatible. Williams seems too comfortable in a way Hamlisch was in the same situation, and his ideas might not work. Zimmer may be problematic for similar reasons and I don't think he's even as innovative as Newman, so Newman would still be a better choice.
The bottom line is one I've always preached- any composer who fails to pay homage to what Barry created for these films will fail. EON stepping in with Newman to ensure that tells me they realized the huge mistake they made in 1995.
Please no keep that extremely overrated Generic "composer" away from James Bond music. Mediocrity has no place in James Bond music.
I agree. The rest is a case of IFM. PM me if you need to be filled in.
Already posted this already, but I think Clint Mansell definitely has got the brassy chops neccessary for this sort of task. He certainly pulled a bit of inspiration from Goldfinger and some of Arnold's compositions in the Sahara soundtrack.
Now that's Music! Sign him up! :)
