Jay 37,374 Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 So, someone on FSM claims that David Arnold tweeted this: Quote You’re very kind but I haven't been approached about NTTD, so I can sit back and enjoy it with everyone else . Trailer looks great! However, I just went to his twitter feed to see, and it's not there. https://twitter.com/DavidGArnold/ Did Arnold really tweet that, then delete it? Or is the FSMer simply in error? https://filmscoremonthly.com/board/posts.cfm?threadID=130493&forumID=1&archive=0&pageID=5&r=785#bottom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmilson 7,473 Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Every time this thread goes up, I think I'm going to open it and see something like "[insert generic Remote Control composer here] officialized for the movie" or maybe "Rumor was fake and Romer remains as the composer". Then, when I don't see either of that, I think "Great! Arnold still have a chance!". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,374 Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Seen on FSM: Quote There is someone at hans-zimmer.com heavily suggesting Zimmer has been given the job. They are at least adamant that Romer is no longer attached and it isn’t Balfe either. It is I suppose somewhat interesting that in this new story about some other score Romer is doing, they don't list Bond among his previous works http://filmmusicreporter.com/2019/12/25/dan-romer-scoring-benh-zeitlins-wendy/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmilson 7,473 Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Some people on the HZ fansite are usually well informed, but for now I don't believe the rumor of Zimmer himself doing the movie. He already has a lot scheduled for 2020, with three of his movies coming out between late May and June (WW84, SpongeBob, Top Gun: Maverick). If NTTD was to be released in November like previous Bonds, I guess he could fit on his schedule alongside Dune, but since it comes out in April... And I guess, if he was going to do a Bond movie, he would prefer to have more time. That said, I don't doubt that one of his protegees are being considered. Maybe not Balfe, but I guess people like Mazzaro, Kawczynski or Jacob Shea (who scored some nature documentaries with the main theme composed by Zimmer). Still, if someone who was/is associated with Zimmer was to score a Bond movie, I would prefer John Powell, not on his Bourne style, but on his Paycheck style: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Penna 3,695 Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Balfe would lap up Bond and we'd get a 2CD deluxe edition of the score by teatime whether we wanted it or not. Powell would be perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheUlyssesian 2,478 Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Justin Hurwitz - He would actually do a sweeping classic orchestral song and actually incorporate the theme into his score. He will always provide a sound of romance which only Barry successfully brought to Bond and to some degree Arnold. Sharkissimo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's definitely a part of the problem I have with Zimmer/Balfe/RCP. It's one thing that most of the music they write is trash, but they also have this irritating habit of leveraging their well-oiled PR machine to boast how much blood and sweat they put into it, how much time they labored over it, what stops they pulled to bring in the best talent they could find, what auditory miracles they invented this time around, blah blah blah. Of course, the only thing more unbearable than a talentless hack is a talentless hack who takes jobs away from the far more gifted likes of Joe Kraemer and then goes on to put out 2-CD releases of his hackery as if under the ridiculous impression his music actually deserves such treatment. gkgyver, crumbs and Richard Penna 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
