crumbs 14,301 Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 I don't think money is an issue with these Bond films, and honestly I don't think Arnold would be nearly as expensive as many other composers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 They actually don’t. Hence why they’re not ghost writers and are credited collaborators. Most actual fans know the line-up of musicians Zimmer collaborates with. It’s only here where they all get reduced to “ghost writing hacks.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they don't have a damn clue. To most people, film music by one composer or the other doesn't sound radically different. Unless, of course, they use an accordion in a Bond film.

DrTenma 116 Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 I usually like Romer's scores, I wasn't sure how he would be in an action movie as this one but I had hopes in him... If they want to play safe I would go also with David Arnold, if not... John Williams, why not?? hahahaha I can easily imagine Benjamin Walfisch credited. Is not my favourite composer (I couldn't enjoy Shazam! which seems a very popular score) but better him than the actual Hans Zimmer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gustavo Joseph 29 Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 IMHO Wallfisch is better than Balfe or 2010's Zimmer. And if the rejection is confirmed, curious to see what Romer did that EON consider so bad. Couldn't be worse than Goldeneye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmilson 7,393 Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Shazam had a great main theme and one of the best concert suites of the year, but overall the underscore was somewhat underwhelming and bland. That said, I would be happier if it's Wallfisch rather than Balfe. Gustavo Joseph 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet nowadays they wouldn't use the gunbarrel at least, and probably reject much more than the San Petersburg tank chase.
