    Me too. Newman better not let us down at the last hurdle.

    Well it's a pity that Eon/MGM didn't let him compose the song then. Newman is employed to do the score and hopefully he isn't going to be restricted by having to frequently use Adele's song.

    My fear is that we might get another crap title song. That will be the let down.

    I hear you on this. It seems every other theme song is a dud. On that theory, I'll say this one will be good like YKMN.

    As far as Newman composing or not composing the song, I don't know. But I am sick of not hearing theme songs used in the movie, so I hope it is. Barry set the standard for this and if Newman is worth his salt, he'll be happy to use it where appropriate. I don't think it should reflect poorly on him for doing so, I'm sure he has plenty of room for his compositions.

    Adele has been working on this for some considerable time. I am convinced that Mendes will have wanted the theme written early during filming so that the composer could incorporate it into the soundtrack throughout. I doubt Newman will be getting any writing credits for the song but I would be very disappointed if he had not had some involvement in it and was not using it in some way in his score. Mendes is a serious film maker and a true Bond fan so he will know how much this kind of thing matters, both from an artistic perspective and for tje nutty fans like us.

    It's a must. It's what made it Bond, James Bond, 007. They can change a lot around Bond, except for the music, which standard was set by Barry. It's a lost art since The Living Daylights, and Casino Royale.

    Nice work on the scoop MI6. If it is a scoop. Though, I trust you all more than the other news entities that have released this news.

    As usual, things are posted up here deliberately vague, even though we've requested fan art and unofficial images are left out of News threads.

    It would be the first time in a long time that the 007 logo has been chopped up and used for something else. Therefore... Nice try.

    A Flickr account name above her hair is a bit of a give away, too.

    I hope the theme is called SKYFALL and not LET THE SKY FALL.

    I will say this,"IT IS ONE IF NOT THE BEST THING ADELE HAS DONE........so far". The pitch of some of the notes are spine tinglingly perfect. Hope you all agree not long now."

    Oh, not long now. Well the 5th couldnt come quick enough. This is good news aswell. Adele does spine tingling moments very well.

    He is making us think its not Adele, even though a photo was found on the official 007.com website. Nonone would make a photo and put it theyr for a laugh, would they??????


    Latest Tweet from Tony Lewis.

    Greg Russell properly gets in to the music when he's mixing effects. Fabulous ability to scat the entire score keeps me amused.

    When you go on the link now, it comes up with this.

    Yes, and I tried a few changes in the URL. My guess is they changes the URL or more likely protected it.

    Something tells me they 'leaked' this cover art on purpose. All this slow drip feeding of news that it's Adele. Leak after leak. And people can't stop talking about it. We haven't had any real confirmation yet but this thread is 41 pages long, friends who know nothing about Bond are talking to me about Adele doing the theme. Even if the leaks didn't start on purpose, I think they've decided to go with it because of the amount of publicity it has generated.

    Either way, well played EON. Would love some official confirmation, and even to listen to the track, but the way things are now has people excited.

    The guy is just playing himself a pathetic fool. The tweet just makes him all the more conspicuous.

    He has to do his job. He knows, but he is just having a laugh with his followers. Theres nothing wrong with that. He seems like a realy friendly guy. Yes, it is Adele, but he cannot just confirm it becuase of the leaked cover.

    haha I remember when he said the theme song was stuck in his head for days a few weeks back...which means it's not this one ;)
    I really don't get it, they should just release it already. I also read here
    http://www.showbiz411.com/2012/09/29/adele-may-be-a-bigger-draw-than-daniel-craig-for-skyfall
    that the release date could change to make the Grammy September 30th deadline, which is tomorrow.

    Adele won't be a bigger draw than Craig. Would you go and see a film just for the theme song? If people go and see SF it won't be for Adele, they'd have to be intresed in he film too. If they just wanted to hear the song they'd just buy it.
