Bilbo 3622 Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Could be interesting. Thankfully its not following the Hollywood blockbuster trend of a Zimmer clone like Balfe or Safe Pair of Hands Won't Rock the Boat but Will Give us Something Totally Bland and Uninspiring Giacchino. Thought the last couple of Bond scores were largely forgettable. Just now, Disco Stu said: I would be very happy to get a score as good as Goldeneye! Indeed!

Richard Penna 2506 Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Too expensive for Bond? Hard time believing that could be true. May just be a similar case to Mendes, where the director really wants to work with their usual composer. Listening to that track from Far Cry 5 and it's really nice though.

Thor 5801 Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Love this composer casting -- totally out of left field, and something that actually makes me interested in this new Bond and Bond score (which I normally don't give a rat's ass about). Romer has been a huge talent for some time, I was just waiting for his big break. BEASTS OF THE SOUTHERN WILD was one of my favourite scores in 2012. And I really enjoyed Fukunaga and Romer's collaboration BEAST OF NO NATION. Bring it on! publicist 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toothless 941 Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 1 hour ago, Richard Penna said: he must've submitted one hell of a demo to the producers. • Or because he was brought-in relatively late, Fukunaga accepted only if he would have final decision on the composer's choice ; • Or EON is OK to let outsiders experiment with the saga ; • Or they are purposefully looking for something different ; • etc I'm curious what it will sound like, and I'm interested For a "bond" style music, I would have preferred Arnold or Kraemer. But since none of these have been chosen, I'd much prefer to hear what unexpected composer such as Romer have to offer. Of course, Hurwitz would have been interesting. But I'm at least happy it's not Göransson or Balfe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is that different for, for example, an artist reaching a certain stage in their career before being invited to play the headline slot at Glastonbury? I'm 'content' with this announcement, although it's mostly because of the potential alternatives. But to score a film as a big as a tentpole franchise film you're going to want someone with a certain level of experience. 17 hours ago, Disco Stu said: (this is as opposed to my reaction when Balfe got MI6: abject disgust) I don't remember being disgusted (or variant of) when Balfe was announced.

KK 3251 Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Romer's been Fukunaga's collaborater for some time, so I guess it isn't too surprising. But I don't know if he's got the chops to do a Bond score. It'll probably be sound like Newman-lite. Parts of Maniac were nice, in context especially, but most of it is kind of derivative, sometimes even a little amateur-ish. I remember liking some of the aleatoric string stuff that popped in every now and then: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gkgyver 1643 Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 @Thor and @Koray Savas celebrating the choice means this score is fucked. And so the game begins. "It's an unusual choice, but give him a chance" "It's dog shit" "How can you know you haven't heard it?" "It's dog shit" "Why are you so negative?" "It's dog shit" "You can't judge a score based on 30 second samples" "It's dog shit" "This multimillion James Bond ecapist adventure doesn't warrant big themes" "It's utter dog shit" "We are missing three crucial 15 second cues enhancing the 70 minute album greatly" "Fuck off" "You don't understand film music" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
