"Then show me his body."
Well if you want his soul you should make a deal with a priest
Agreed, i think Boyle and Hodge have such a strong vision for B25 of their own that they wont have to borrow any elements from Spectre. Right now i am not even expecting a return of Madeleine. And I prefer it that way.
Include some people who not work before on Bond:
Luke Whitelock ... assistant art director (Avengers 3)
Stephane Feruch ... stunt performer (Johnny English Reborn, X-men First Class)
Joshua Benedetti .... location scout (Jason Bourne and Mission: Impossible - Fallout)
Ben White ... Assistant location manager (Johnny English Strikes Again)
Camilla Stephenson ... supervising location manager (The Ghost Writer)
Returns from Spectre:
Yves Girard ... assistant stunt coordinator (Safe House)
Lee Morrison ... stunt coordinator (Also on Skyfall and QOS)
Philip Lobban ... location scout (Also on Skyfall)
Returns from Skyfall:
Boris Martinez ... assistant stunt coordinator
(Is he ask back because of Spain ??)
Camilla Stephenson:

If they're shooting in NZ, please find a role for Alan Dale!
Agreed. I’m looking forward to the return of the man that actually understands how a Bond movie should sound.
Maybe he can but perhaps you should have picked a better example that actually sounds like it should belong in a Bond movie.
LOL yeah okay.
Wow that actually does sound like Dr. Mario.
I need tickets to all your stand up performances. You're hoot. Are you going to be here all week? =))
Five excellent Bond scores is a great resume and all the more reason I’m excited for Arnold’s inevitable return.

There is a reason directors aren't choosing him...
Yeah because he works on BBC's Sherlock. #-o
And you've demonstrated for years that 98% of the time you don't know what you're talking about.
He's just agreed to film the Armistice centenary in November. I think come November 2019, he'll deserve a day off.

Also, is the lack of Bond 25 news/rumours worrying anyone? Could Boyle's busy schedule mean that filming has been pushed back?
And Big School, and Jekyll & Hyde, and Good Omens…
And about half a dozen stage productions, including the near 6 month run of a West-End play. Oh, and the bleedin' Olympics.
I swear, some days it would be nice to come on here and not give myself a migraine caused by all the eye-rolling while reading stupid posts. Anytime someone uses the word "hack", 99% of the time it's so they can avoid justifying their own personal dislike for something - because they can't. Ironic, really.
Totally agree. Him not doing (that many) film scores might just be a choice, too. Sherlock must be one of the best gigs around, and a 6 month run of a stage play must be just as interesting from a work point of view as a film.
Absolutely. @Torgeirtrap
As far as I know, and I can be pretty confident in what I'm saying here, Arnold loves theatre especially as it allows him to exercise complete control over nearly everything musically.
Which is why this particular point..
Is very unfair and inaccurate. Arnold has declined numerous gigs through the years. The experiences he had with Emmerich/Devlin in the early 00s left a bad taste with regards blockbuster film scoring. His work was treated pretty badly. So from then on, he worked on things he cared about and with people he trusted. e.g. Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg, Brian Singleton etc. and the Bond films. If anyone thinks that someone choosing to only work on things they really like with people they trust earns them the title of a "hack", I'm afraid some re-checking of the definition is required.
Anyway, going off-topic.
Yes, I'd be happy with Arnold coming back. I'd be fine with Pemberton, too. He'd do something cool with it, undoubtedly.
Personally I'd prefer Pemberton, just to get a different take on things for Boyle's first Bond outing. I liked the relative freshness vibe that SF gave off with some new team members, and hope for something similar for B25.
--- I think it's too early to be concerned about a push back at this point, although as we've discussed several times, the current crowded 2019 November release schedule will do B25 no favours.
Boyle is certainly a busy guy, indeed.
The answer would be no, anyway. At this stage, nobody is going to confirm nor deny and I doubt that a composer will have been hired this early regardless of whether they're going back to Arnold or going for a new name.
I ask because, given EON's recent penchant and taste for awards and fame, they may lean towards someone on the up and comers list or with a higher profile.
Think I read that he likes the theatre somewhere, so that doesn't surprise me one bit. How long does a composer work on a score anyway? A month or so? There might be more money involved, but a 6 month run on a stage play gives him the opportunity to work on something over a longer period of time. I think the choice of working on a stage play would be an easy one.
As for Pemberton, I really, really like his UNCLE score, and wouldn't at all be against him doing a Bond score. He won't get as much creative control as with UNCLE, I'd imagine, but I'm sure he would find his way to make an interesting score. As long as we don't get a Newman like score, I'll be happy.
Do you come from a universe where Arnold never scored Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace? If you don't, you're just wrong.
It's not like he has a resume or reputation like Barry's. He's been a bit low profile lately as well. Furthermore, the most viewed films in Craig's repertoire (and of the past decade as well) have been scored by someone else.
While he has his fans on these boards (and I'm sure elsewhere in the Bond fandom sites), it's far from unanimous. When it comes to the music competition threads here, his films generally don't score all that well either.
Are the public really clamouring for a David Arnold return? If not, then why would EON consider him at this point? There does not appear to be any marketing or industry buzz benefit.
The only reason he could be brought back is because he has worked with Boyle previously, and from what we can see B25 is going to have a very tight post-production timeframe (as is the norm with Bond films unfortunately). So someone familiar who understands the process could kick out a score faster than a newbie who may feel in over his head.
EDIT: - Also, we know Boyle likes his music and has it as an important element in his films. So if he clicks with a composer who can implement his vision, then that will be the choice, whoever it may be.
