Kendal_Ozzel 36 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I'd be quite happy with Lady Gaga, actually.Still kinda baffling that the album is less than two months out and we don't have even a clue yet (beyond some old Adele hints—but even if they were true, that doesn't mean she was a lock).

MrJosh 895 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Maybe Thomas Newman will go retro and use John Barry's "007" theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gkgyver 1,647 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I have heard and read this assumption for 10 years now, and it never happened. The 007 theme is an adventure theme very much in line with the camp action sequences of the Moore and later Connery films.And I very much doubt such a theme, with its warm tones, would be used and fit for a Craig movie.

Richard Penna 4,028 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I can't wait to hear what approach he's taken.Newman has never done anything resembling a full-blown action sequence,and most of his more frenetic work I've heard with brass seemed rather out of place.I just hope he hasn't fallen back on electronics too much. The Adjustment Bureau sent me to sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

publicist 4,647 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Some of the songs (and themes) were sublime, a lot of the underscore is not very interesting (Barry included). Arnold wrote some good workmanlike scores in the last years, but great music it ain't. Of all the expanded ones, the stylish OHMSS seems the most successful to me.

alicebrallice 134 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 this is an excellent opportunity for newman to expose his talent and what he's capable of to an undoubtedly huge and broad crowd. it's a pretty big deal.

Incanus 5,785 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 As sad as I was that Arnold is leaving the franchise I am actually very interested to hear, what kind of sound Newman will bring to his Bond score. Is it entirely his own distinctive one or will he try to nod to the certain Bond score stylistics from John Barry era that Arnold kept very much in his music.

The Psycho Pianist 216 Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 I'm pretty disappointed that Arnold isn't scoring Skyfall, he was developing quite a nice, consistent style for the reboot which will be completely lost unless Newman decides to copy it.

Admiral Holdo 16 Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 This is why I'm excited for Newman's score - we have zero idea what to expect. With Arnold, we already have a pretty good idea what it's going to sound like, but Newman's never done a project like this before. It could be awful, but it could be fantastic. The greater the risk, the greater the reward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neimoidian 14 Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Now, the music that plays in the background is very arnoldian, but I do not remember this piece in any Bond score of the English composer.

Admiral Holdo 16 Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 I know the Super 8 site had Giacchino's music on it before sessions for that wrapped.I'm digging the music. It's not completely divorced from the Barry-with-electronica style Arnold established, but there's subtlety and class. No bloated orchestrations, thank goodness.

gkgyver 1,647 Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Hm, not bad if it is from Skyfall.Newman is a competent composer and I'm sure we will get a competent score. Not sure if that's a compliment though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
publicist 4,647 Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Why directors keep on taking their favourite composers on jobs like this just to let them produce carbon copies of their predecessors remains an open question (it sounds a bit more polished than Arnbold, though).
