Jay 37,254 Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Maybe you can spot a date in this video somewhere? Or could try scrolling back through Thomas Newman's twitter, if he has one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharkissimo 1,973 Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Anyone have any information about when the Skyfall recording sessions took place at Abbey Road Studios?Approximately late August to late September 2012, according to music editor Tony Lewis's Twitter feed.@MusicEditorcouk 24 SepHeading in to Mix, approx 1/2 way done. Got the mix through for an amazing cue last night. Tom has surpassed himself this time. #SkyfallGuess he means Tennyson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gkgyver 1,645 Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Cue me pissing and moaning.Ever since I'm old enough to go to the movies, this may be the first Bond film I won't watch in the theatre. I sure as hell won't buy the score if Newman is doing it. I still hope for someone else though, being the fool that I am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naïve Old Fart 9,489 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Personally, I'd like to see Arnold return, but if it has to be anyone else, then let be Newman.I hope that Stuart Baird returns, and I'd like to see another Phil Meheux-photographed Bond film, but I suppose I can stomach another Deakins effort (!).

Corellian2019 383 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 I hope he makes this one a lot more plausible than the last. I know it's Bond, but Mendes stretched suspension of disbelief and acceptable contrivances to the limits with Skyfall.With John Logan as screenwriter, I can assure you the limits will be stretched: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wycket 36 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Exactly, there's a three month gap, as heard in dialogue, between that stuff. To me, Skyfall was the perfect blend of modern conventions mixed with old school Bond. I was also quite impressed with Newman's score, and while I like what Arnold has done, I think his time is up. He can produce some really good music, but to me he loses me more often than not lately. Perhaps a big break will do him good, but if Arnold never comes back I'll appreciate his time on the franchise and look forward to what the next composer can do. Here's hoping Newman knocks another one out of the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Penna 3,664 Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 I like bits of Goldeneye (20 minute compilation from the CD). Its more synthy, creepy sound made for a movie that was more based on tension and mystery, and I rather like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wycket 36 Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 I for one don't mind parts of the score, but definitely hate certain parts such as "Ladies First". I really enjoy the 64 game score, however, which takes Serra's best little ideas and really makes a memorable score (for me at least).If Arnold or Newman don't do 24, I'd love to see Murray Gold be given a chance, although I know it will never happen.

gkgyver 1,645 Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Considering the way they psycho-analysed the hell out of any former Bond formulas, I wouldn't put it past the current 007 crew to screw that part of mythology up as well.How about covering some of Bond's father issues? Throw in some "we are not so different, Mr. Bond" for the gazillionth time and you're good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
