Someone with long hairs dancing weirdly CHECK
Music by Radiohead CHECK
Conclusion: Must be credible :D
Do you think the spectre ring on Sam's hand is official enough. I believe it is, but an actually official confirmation is needed.
Smith would really, really hurt his career by that move and create a shitstorm of gigantic proportions once it would be clear that he isn't the Bond theme singer.
There are several newspapers around the world that have written today, that Sam Smith indeed is the Bond theme singer. Some even said: it is confirmed.
Imagine how those journalists will feel if they realise it was a hoax.
That's why I'm certain it's true: Tomorrow an official statement will be made and a release date for the song will be known or it is even released tomorrow.
You're certain it's true???For a few pages you've been saying it's a ruse.
So journalists will bring out the forks because THEY misinterpreted a wordless hint?! They rather have to explain themselves for stating something as a fact that has not been officially confirmed. Remember the early "confirmation" of Adele's SkyFall which wasn't official by any means but taken for that by many known news outlets. Sam Smith is not to blame for premature sensationalism before the fact.
The strange thing is my father is the head of a Swedish public service radio station. Every time a new song is to be released by a bigger artist he will get it one day before into the radio archives to be able to play it the moment it's been released officially. Yet he hasn't received anything today... I might be wrong...
You misunderstand.
It's a ruse that Smith is doing a duet with Goulding written by Radiohead.
Quoting myself from page 65: 6:18 hours
a spectre is behind me
do I draw my gun?
I need to do it well
it should not be fun
death is right here
I smell it in the air
what was that?
was that a spectre over there?
I think of the deaths I know of
of my family and women I love
what was that on my shoulder
was it the spectres glove?
they took my youth, then they took my boss
they make you an instrument of death
but I will fight the spectre
until my dying breath
I hate to say it, but that ring looks pretty official, as if given to him by the prop department. Not good.I think
I'm one sad pug in a tuxedo. Can't believe EON would choose this option. When Skyfall was released, I didn't like Adele, and then she blew me away with Skyfall. I can hope with Smith, but I just don't know.
Unlikely though.
I think EON is probably more than happy that their song announcement will trump any buzz for the book release. Horowitz didn't have to trash SP before even seeing it, and I won't even touch on the tons of controversy he rained down on SP with his comments about Elba. If the book is good, it will do OK, but Horowitz deserves a thumping for his bad jusgement on the way he is chose to advertise his book. After all, choosing the right words is his profession.
Everyone is entitled to their opinions, Lord knows we all yak endlessly with them, but he is using the mantle of "Fleming's successor." There are millions of idiots out there that think he is representing the film producers and many are tweeting and trash talking about SP and Craig because of Horowitz's comments about Elba. I shed no tears for him.
Then again you make it personal while I consider it sheer stupidity to release two long awaited 007 related releases. It reeks of somebody having bad timing or having no sense of how maximise the amount of publicity the brand 007. EON should consider firing the moron.
The literary James Bond brand is a completely different from the cinematic James Bond one. EON doesn't have any reason to give a shit about contemporary Bond novels.
If he has indeed got the job I guarantee even if Yorke & Greenwood didn't write it he'll will have had some serious help composing it or more likely he's singing someone else's song. Lets remember it's only with the Craig era and some exceptions in the series that the artist singing is actually written the song they are performing.
This is why the rumour Yorke & Greenwood composing it for Smith & EG makes perfect sense.
It's not like the book will turn people off seeing the film
It's probably not reliable but in this article about it, at the end, they mention tomorrow morning being the time we'll all find out and hear it for ourselves. I assumed we'd get it around 5pm UK time and we still could.
