A real pity if you ask me.
I really liked Kronsteen reference in FRWL to Dr. No's death and its subsequent revenge.
Or what about Bond's quick remark to Leiter in GF: "They almost had you on Jamaica, didn't they." Another reference to DN.
And the reference to Tracy's death in FYEO makes the film actually a perfect follow-up to OHMSS.
But now, with SP, we'll get references to all three previous Bond films.
Back to UNCLE here is some interesting feedback.
Private screening held last night for "The Man from U.N.C.L.E." in Atlanta, Georgia. The tweets from the general public run something like this: Perfect blend of comedy, action and romance! Loved it........ Classic!............Make sure yall catch the new sexy stylish action flick MFU, it's going to be one for the books..................Henry Cavill is amazing as Napoleon Solo, Entire cast is perfect, soundtrack is A+............. I highly recommend it...........Loved the cast, the story, the 60's fashion, Definitely a must see!.
I'm not discounting SP on that front just yet.
Agreed. Even the TV-trailer showed already quite some romantic.....passionate scenes. Bond with Ms Swann and Bond with Ms Sciarra. And it could very well be that Ms Swann is the 2nd girl after Vesper Bond really falls in love with....
I do think the romance in TMFU is different though. It looks way more....playful. I just love the scenes between Kuryiakin and Ms Teller. Very playful, and sexy in a 1960's style. In a way I thought I saw Mr Bond and Ms Sylvia Trench from DN....but slightly more wild ;-).
If it turns out there is, will you look at it? At this point we don't know.
Understood.
Hmmm, now you mention it I'm paying attention to it. But I'm sure if you didn't mention it, I wouldn't hear it.
I've been watching some old UNCLE-episodes, and also there Robert Vaughn has this distinct suave American New England accent....that could be perceived as irritating. Still, it's how he really speaks.
Minor details if you ask me :-).
True, but during interviews you can hear Cavill's lovely British accent much better. And I like that too ;-):
I think Armie Hammer truly loves being part of this franchise. He's constantly fooling with the interviewers :-P.
It's the 2-minute spot that ran on the ESPY awards on July 15.
Just listen to some examples from his score for the BBC TV-Mini-Series "The Game" (2014). A great cold war espionage TV-series, reminiscent of "The Americans".
It oozes late 1960's, early 1970's sound. The orchestration with the lush violins, russian klavecimbel-strings and xylophones give his melodies a particular rich and lush feel. In a way it reminds me of "The Persuaders". But most importantly, he composes...melodies! Unforgettable, clearly structured arrangements.....that stick to your mind!:
Here are some tracks from his only big motion picture soundtrack so far, "The Awakening" (2009). A track like 'The Seance' has this wonderful choir added to it, that makes it sound mysterious and dark. And in a way it sounds like 'Slumber Inc.' from John Barry's "Diamonds Are Forever" score.
And again, lovely strings of cello's, violins, alt violins, and choirs that give you goosebumps. And again, beautiful arrangements and melodies:
And, because I can't stop now, here are some tracks from the BBC Documentary "Heroes and Villains" (2007), from the episodes "Attila The Hun" and "Napoleon" to be precise. Wonderful, magnificent, classical arrangements that are entirely focused on a kind of Mozart-esque tradition of writing. A bloody shame that he has been so invisible to bigger movie production companies:
And to finish this post, a wonderful piece of carnival music from Mr Pemberton. It's absolutely happy, frivolous and I would love to hear this as source music in a carnival scene in a James Bond film:
And this talent, born in 1978, finally gets to compose music for a big blockbuster spy movie: "The Man From UNCLE". I. Can. Not. Wait. For. This. Score!
