steb74 53 Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 I just want another Newman Bond score.That and another Mendes Bond film.Yeah, that's just what the franchise needs, another badly directed and scored keystone cops chase.The beginning of Skyfall was disastrous, maybe Mendes can persuade Newman to incorporate a slide whistle this time, can't wait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,369 Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 The film was great, the score was boringI'd love to see Craig's Bond on a new adventure that ties things back to Quantum, and for the love of god let him sleep with some women this time that don't get killed or are bad guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naïve Old Fart 9,541 Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Why?I can't stand Conti's score, perhaps if the sounds was not so thin and small, I might like it but...What Faleel said. I think that it is the most innapropriate score for a Bond film. Don't misunderstand me: I really like Conti's other work - "The Right Stuff" is great - but "FYEO" is trash.

Jay 37,369 Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Sam Mendes Says He’s Not Yet Committed to ‘Bond 24′The article contains a quote Mendes made the other day about returning:In answer to the question you’re going to ask, I don’t know yet. I’m in discussion over the ‘B’ word and I won’t make any decision until ['Charlie and the Chocolate Factory'] is open. It’s taken a long time to get this open and this has been my focus.The CATCF he's referring to is a London stage production Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,369 Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Sam Mendes signs on to direct Bond 24 Producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli, EON Productions; Gary Barber, Chairman & CEO, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer; Michael Lynton, CEO, Sony Entertainment, Inc, and Amy Pascal, Co-Chairman of Sony Pictures Entertainment today announced that Daniel Craig will once again return as the legendary British secret agent in the 24th James Bond film and Sam Mendes will also return to direct the screenplay written by John Logan. The film is set for release in the UK on October 23, 2015 and in the US on November 6, 2015. SKYFALL the 23rd James Bond film, took in $1.1 billion worldwide and set a new mark as the highest-grossing film of all time in the UK; it was the best-selling Bond film on DVD/Blu-ray and was the most critically acclaimed film in the history of the longest-running film franchise. Commenting on the announcement, Wilson and Broccoli said, “Following the extraordinary success of SKYFALL, we’re really excited to be working once again with Daniel Craig, Sam Mendes and John Logan.” “I am very pleased that by giving me the time I need to honour all my theatre commitments, the producers have made it possible for me to direct Bond 24. I very much look forward to taking up the reins again, and to working with Daniel Craig, Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli for a second time,” said Mendes. Barber added, “We are thrilled to reunite the extraordinary talents of director Sam Mendes with our star Daniel Craig for the next great Bond adventure.” He added, “As evidenced by the phenomenal success of our last collaboration with EON Productions and Sony, the incredible legacy of this 51-year-old franchise continues to amaze.” Pascal and Lynton said, “It’s a privilege to work on the Bond films. EON, John Logan and Sam Mendes have come up with an extraordinary follow up to SKYFALL and we, along with our partners at MGM, can’t wait to share this new chapter with audiences all over the world.” http://www.007.com/bond-24-news-2/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crocodile 8,017 Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 That means Thomas Newman is back as well. I hope he goes for a more acoustic sound this time. Such a rare thing to hear from him. There are bits of Skyfall where his bittersweet style meets Bond's swagger. I'd like to hear more of that. Could be magical.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,369 Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Yea, with the same director AND writer on board, the composer is probably a lock too. Of course, Thomas Newman has Finding Dory opening the same month as Bond 24, but being animated he can probably complete work on it that summer before moving on to Bond 24.

Quintus 5,399 Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 I hope he makes this one a lot more plausible than the last.

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted July 11, 2013 Author Share Posted July 11, 2013 Examples? I thought it was the most personal and realistic Bond film in years. Nothing can top Die Another Day in terms of suspension of disbelief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 That's true about Die Another Day, but that movie was absolute crud anyway.Top of my head, the extremely handy remote controlled explosion in the London Underground as Bond persued the head villain, oh and his miraculous survival from being shot, falling down a waterfall presumably unconscious and washing up at at bar where he was presented with a tequila.I enjoyed the film btw, but Bourne has made the bullshit stand out more than ever and I'd prefer it if they left those sensibilities behind with the sexism.
