Her pitch was Bondy but the song and backing are very pop like. Bond typically has a lush orchestral backing. Also I did not discern a strong theme that could translate to the score. Eilish’s song has a theme that can be used in the score. Link to post Share on other sites
Jay 18412 Posted October 9, 2020 Author Share Posted October 9, 2020 I hadn't listened to the song I posted yet but just did now. It's fine, I can see it fitting perfectly fine with an opening titles montage in a modern Bond film. The Eilish song on the other hand, I haven't listened to all the way through but the snippets I heard were a massive turn off in every way (I already knew and didn't like her music beforehand) Link to post Share on other sites
TheUlyssesian 1616 Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Eilish's song is kinda a standard Bond song but a good one. The thing is she mumbles and whispers her lyrics instead of belting it out. She belts it out at only one moment towards the end but I found it too late too little. Its a good song, why not sing it out. It is almost like Autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR). Link to post Share on other sites

You can doubt the cinema will ever pack people in as it did before Chinavirus, but that's just ridiculous. Right before everything closed down, they were still making a killing. Look how many of these fools went to see 'Joker'. I don't even like going to movie theaters or care about the industry in general, but I'm not unrealistic or pessimistic when it comes to their chances of surviving a year or so of this crap.

They have nothing else that's this big - everything else coming is indie and prestige/awards releases, this film was meant to cover a lot for them - they already ended up delaying their big awards contender Respect (Aretha Franklin biopic) because they didn't have the money from Bond to do a campaign. And they've already blown their load twice marketing spend wise. And they're up for sale now too. Also UK cinemas don't look to be able to reopen until May at this point, that's the latest indication re: hospitality in this current lockdown, which will only begin to ease up when enough of the most vulnerable are vaccinated, with now the latest timeline is every UK adult being offered it by the end of the summer. At the current rate timelines appear to be very similar Stateside too, and in continental Europe. All the big stuff that can't have PVOD or streaming as a cushion like the Warner Bros/HBO Max stuff, is gonna be pushed. Ricard 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Didn't Netflix offer them a huge deal for the streaming rights? I get that it's a difficult situation in a lot of countries, but endlessly delaying the film doesn't necessarily improve its financial outlook. If nothing else, EON should really be devoting their resources to writing/casting Bond 26 and getting Martin Campbell back to launch their next actor. Link to post Share on other sites

crumbs 8403 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 It was a horrible movie, ironically a good example of a bad cinema experience. It would've sunk like a stone on the second weekend once word got out. The sound quality was atrocious enough in my home cinema. Can't imagine how bad it would've been in a packed cinema, surrounded by bewildered people constantly going, "huh?" and "what did they just say?" to the person sitting next to them.
