He's proved with The Secret Life of Pets that he's familiar with jazz idioms. And also some of the material in this action cue reminds a bit of Arnold. And he already used some bond motifs… Muad'Dib and crocodile 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Stu 15,495 Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 I always forget how good that Ghost Writer score is. Been meaning to see the film for years. toothless 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crocodile 7,973 Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 I always liked his sharp and powerful action music, even in the earlier days when it perhaps bit more stripped-down. This was one of my early favourites (bad ass!): Great early Hollywood score from Desplat. Quite obscure by now. Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maglorfin 196 Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 This is still a helluva medley with an excellent arrangement and well played. It's great to hear a live version of Night at the Opera from QoS and be rewarded with a rare glimpse of a bass flute! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweeping Strings 2,342 Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 The Mirror has ran with a story that Bond 25 will mostly be set in Croatia ... it allegedly has a working title of Shatterhand and will be an adaptation of Raymond Benson's continuation novel 'Never Dream Of Dying', with Christoph Waltz and Dave Bautista due to return as Blofeld and Hinx. Apart from the story earlier in the year that the production had been location-scouting in Dubrovnik possibly backing up the Croatian thing, the rest of it strongly stinks of tabloid bullshit.

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 For some reason I find it highly doubtful that they'd base a movie on one of the post-Fleming novels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweeping Strings 2,342 Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Yeah. As far as I know, the series has pretty much ignored Benson's novels up to now so an adaptation of one from 18 years ago being the next film seems unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 I didn't mind Waltz as Blofeld. It was the terrible script that made me hate the last act of Spectre, not Waltz. I'd welcome giving him a second chance to gain traction as a Bond villain. DominicCobb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 I agree Waltz was fine. I'd like to see him have more to do and with a better story angle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antovolk 95 Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 If it's Craig's last and a SPECTRE follow up, kinda a must, no? I expect this one will be very much influenced by YOLT the novel, but updated to fit the Craig continuity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After Skyfall they had a tough act to follow, but I still stand by my position that Spectre is one of the worst Bond films ever made. Tonally unbalanced, sadistic and stupid. I'd be easier on it if they hadn't retconned Skyfall and raped Fleming's Blofeld. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo 3,709 Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Nah, it's not that. It might be forgettable in many ways but it was a fun trip to the cinema. Ive not seen it since actually.

Popular Post Richard Penna 3,662 Posted July 30, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted July 30, 2017 I greatly enjoyed Skyfall and Spectre, and they had equal share of utter preposterousness. Feels weird that Craig is likely coming back though. Spectre felt like an ending. Can we have a Bond film that has just a villain, a plot, clever gadgets, and sod all to do with Bond's domestic life?

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Up until the last one, which wasn't entirely horrible, Bond was the only franchise left cranking out decent or even pretty great flicks fairly consistently. Everyone else hates Quantum, but it was better than the majority of franchise and action flicks when it came out. Die Another Day was still watchable even though everyone apparently hates that one too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
publicist 4,643 Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 It's just a brand. And the actual movies since 'Goldeneye' are not much to write home about. It's the whole baggage, pre-PR and press hullaballoo that makes the whole affair seem more relevant than it actually is. The last one was really bad and with the exception of 'Casino Royale' i have to go back to 'The Living Daylights' for a really successful entry in the series.

Sharkissimo 1,973 Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Casino Royale is overrated. It's torn between being a Bond creation myth and a modern adaptation of the novel, and never really reconciles the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
