Yes! In light of the soundtrack we were afforded with SkyFall, I would think some of the backlash Arnold received is likely to be retracted. Not that SF's soundtrack was totally awful, but it lacked greatly compared to Arnold's work, I believe.
I didn't mind SF at all, but I'm currently watching DAD, yes DAD, and I just think he does 'Bond' perfectly. The soundtrack was always a huge part of my childhood love of Bond and I just can't imagine my 5 year old self being excited by Newman's score. Any of DA's on the other hand, I probably would.
EDIT: This
Literally watching that exact scene at this very moment.
The TND soundtrack is one of the best in the canon.
I heartily agree!
Whilst it's still not on the same level as Barry, TND is a cracking score. Possibly Arnold's best along with CR.
I think I'd be on board with that. I LOVE the sultry Bond themes like TWINE and SF. I think Lana would fit in quite nicely.

I remember reading that article a good while back and being mesmerized at how beautiful some of those locations are. Imagine Bond and a villain battling atop #12. Or, it could turn into a ski chase scene where Bond is fighting/avoiding henchmen and a side-villain, and it ends up on that overhang where Bond and the side-villain are fighting. That would be awesome.
It would be.
I hope Eon are reading this thread. They should visit some of these places with Mendes for location recces!
RIP Nelson Mandela
P.S. My parents picked up a splendid little black polo shirt for me, with the 007 symbol on, from the Designing Bond exhibition in Melbourne while on their holiday in Australia. :)
1. a brilliant tie in video game that becomes the best video game adaption of a film of all time....
2. A Fleming title The Hildebrand Rarity or The Property of a Lady or Risico any of the three I would be happy with.
3. I would like unused elements to finally be used like M asking bond to investigate the death of a family member... elements of the short story From a view to a kill etc.
4. New York City, Cape Town South Africa, and an explosive climax (with an amazing ski sequence) in Switzerland
5. at least one unused fleming character to show up
6. Quantum to be a major threat (let this film be their Thunderball)
that's about it now
1.) In this day and age, most video game adaptations are horrible, so I doubt that'll ever happen.
it's a wish list darn it ;)
I also wish for a batman game where Joker is not the main villain... which also won't ever happen .. :(
- ...and this time.....it isn't personal.
- Classic Bond girl that survives the film (I LOVED Severine's type - give us that)
- A nice scene with Moneypenny and M - but for god's sake I hope Harris was kidding about that training bit.
- Exotic locales, martinis, girls, and guns.
-yes, the return of Quantum
-a female main villain---and not a young, beautiful one who Bong bangs like elektra, but someone older, 40s or 50s, but not gross like Rosa Klebb- Charlotte Gainsbourg? Naomi Watts? i'd say Marion Collitard but i don't think after SF it would be wise to rip off Nolan again
-another Severine-esque bond girl, i.e. not an ass-kicker like Camille but not a damsel like Mary Goodnight--Samantha Barks comes to mind but she's probably too young
-a more grandiose, take-over-the-world villain's scheme with a modern twist--this is another reason I am infuriated by Skyfall-Silva's hacking skill could have given him so much more leverage in such a scheme
-(this is kind of stupid) cinematography and a score a-la the drive to Skyfall in SF that makes the movie look and feel as if it is taking place in a dream (which I believe would fit Charlotte Gainsbourg nicely as a villain; if you've ever seen her in Antichrist or Melancholia (and in the soon to come Nymphomaniac) you'd know that she's a great actress who does well in that sort of dream-like envrionment
-a title song by Beyonce (which probably wouldn't work because of Foxy Cleopatra) or Florence Welch (which, again, i think would go well with a dream-like feel
I'd love to see how Logan and maybe Mendes (if they have one in Bond 24) would handle the kind of character that can sometimes come across a bit over the top. In my eyes, they even could of made Severine more of a villain somehow. I think that could have been interesting.
I just wanna see a well-written female baddie who is cast perfectly.
I like the idea of bringing back Villiers as well. I really liked Menzies as Edmure Tully in Game of Thrones and I think he would also work well in a Saunders-like role for Bond 24.
I like the fact that Villiers is rather light weight, a competent but not overly brilliant bureaucrat.
