( Though I'm glad its not ;) )
I think his strong points wont be the action, but the drama scenes. I think he'll highlight the emotions and mood better than the action. Which isn't a bad thing.
Full of muscle and energy that will pump along with our hero, and of course flirt with the Bond theme here and there which is always a good card to play when needed, more so than David Arnold has done in DC's films so far!?
I also hope that Thomas Newman has a input into the theme song, which will enable him to use parts of it in the score either emotional or in the action!!!!?
What I hope for the most is a score full of body and the sound of a large symphony orchestra kicking and punching our man along whatever path this "SkyFall" will take 007 and us...!!! ;)
I personally think brass is one of the most powerful elements in a Bond soundtrack, but a good string section, a fine orchestration with a powerful orchestra behind it won't hurt.
No thanks.... would be horrible.
Not a fan of the original Dr. No Bond theme?
Each Bond should have it's own signature Bond theme. Connery had the guitar, Lazenby the synths, Moore and strings and Dalton the strings+techno beat.
I am tired of the same tired guitar Bond theme, that was awesome in 1962, but is not totally outdated and unoriginal.
I hope Newman can finally give the Bond theme the knack it has been missing since Eric Serra's original drum Bond theme. Since Arnold arrived, the Bond theme has been ridiculized, insulted and destroyed. Craig and Brosnan do not have a signature Bond theme, so I very much hope Newman will find another instrument other than the guitar to give us an epic Bond theme.
The Bond theme during the CR end credits is ear-bleedingly awful, and shows the patheticness of Arnold's versality. Quite frankly I wished the end credits of that film did not feature any music instead of this abomination called music.
Are you referring to the theme that plays in the PTS as Bond moves through the base? It sounds like timpani's to me. If so, that was an awesome touch, and I would gladly welcome an original take like that.
That's fine, thats what I want.
An instrumental could be quite fitting for the 50th anniversary and all, but you have to think they simply won't go down that avenue for a 2012 release. We have to be realistic
Newman has been on board apparently since June of last year. Since Adele hinted on that talk show she was doing a theme in November, I bet Newman had already composed a song with her and she was planning to record it.
Let's just hope that didn't end up coming to fruition then. ;)
How will Thomas approach all this.....?? What do we want from our SkyFall score!? :-B
For an idea of what I'm talking about, you should all listen to "One More Parcel" from his score to The Debt. I have a feeling this is the approach he'll take to the score. Maybe a bit more focus on the brass sections and obviously a few statements of the Bond theme worked in.
Brass and a string section are vital to a Bond soundtrack. That's the Bond sound and most fans don't want that overly tinkered with. That said, it will be interesting to see what sort of spin Newman puts on it.
Brass it up! Completely!
