If Newman is good, i like to see he doing Bond 24 too.
I believe the producers whant something dfrent for a change and for one time it be easyer to have another composer for Skyfall then for Bond 24. Bond 24 is linked to CR and QOS (possible return of Camile & Mr White) and then i expect David Arnold more.
At any rate there's no reason why Arnold shouldn't be back for the next Bond, also not too far away.
Another film, you mean? I would guess so but who knows. It's all up for grabs in 2014, anyone could take it.
Unless Mendes decides to return. He may well do, which would be nice.
If rumours are to be believed they've asked every director back since DAD, even Forster. So they might well ask Mendes, too. Would depend on Mendes's experiences during shooting SF and if he's up for another helping of that meal. Could be he's the one wanting a bit of a break this time. But if it was fun work and he's happy with the outcome, why ever not?
Arnold did a great job especially on CR, where he had to find a new theme, as the signature 007 theme was to be spared until the very end. He did this just fantastically, featuring this theme in Cornell's title song as well and making it sound absolutely Bond! SF seems to go back to the roots in many respects from what you hear. So I'm hoping for a score that sounds genuinly Bond as well. With Arnold in charge I wouldn't worry 'bout that, but I'm not sure if Newman can find the right tone that makes a score sound Bond.
Newman has done a lot of soundtracks to movies which I have all watched. To be honest, I can't remember a single piece of music from these movies. That's usually not a good sign.
I don't understand why some people don't like Brosnan because he was a 'safe choice', while at the same time liking a safe choice composer like Arnold.......
Should Mendes return, Newman will. If not and the next Bond director approves of Arnold, he'll return. He's working on the 50th anniversary and still seems to be the regular 007 composer. That's my view anyway.
Been saying all of this this since 1997. A Bond movie needs to sound like a Bond movie, there needs to be some sort of identifiable homage to what Barry created. At least Turner/Bono/Edge managed to get it right as far as the title tune. If Serra had incorporated it, it would have made the soundtrack a lot better and much more memorable.
Best post I've read today ^:)^ =D>
