Popular Post crumbs 14,319 Posted December 17, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 17, 2021 This sounds awesome! Great to see EON (and Apple) supporting a feature-length music documentary for the Bond series: Quote Apple today announced “The Sound of 007,” a new feature documentary about the remarkable history of six decades of James Bond music. The documentary will make its global debut on Apple TV+ to mark the 60th anniversary of the James Bond film series in October 2022. “The Sound of 007” will go behind the lens into the greatest movie franchise in history from the genesis of Dr. No and the iconic 007 theme song all the way to No Time To Die, mixing heartfelt interviews with incredible James Bond archive material. https://www.007.com/apple-announce-the-sound-of-007-documentary/ Wouldn't it be fantastic if LLL could resume work on their 3 planned Bond releases (Moonraker, Tomorrow Never Dies and Licence to Kill) to coincide with this documentary next October? Is it possible UME and MGM have finished re-negotiating the Bond music rights since NTTD was released? Side note: why the hell haven't Lucasfilm/Disney commissioned something like this for the Star Wars scores?

No! Can't wait another ten months. "Release the BONDS, now!" Rumour is Peter Jackson is directing it. He plans a.six part mini- series. 😎 WampaRat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crumbs 14,319 Posted December 17, 2021 Author Share Posted December 17, 2021 It'll be interesting to see how this documentary covers that subject. IMO, Norman deserves credit for the outline of the melody, but Barry deserves credit for re-arranging it with the iconic orchestration that became synonymous with the character.

Jurassic Shark 12,096 Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 I guess the arrangement/orchestration is exactly what he did get credit for. As EON is involved, I doubt there will be any mention of the Norman vs. Barry issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tallguy 3,402 Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 I thought I posted this yesterday... There was a great Bond music documentary on one of the DVDs from the early 2000s. IIRC it had every Bond composer. Wait. I don't know if it had Sera. I also don't remember if it went into the songs at all or if that was on a separate feature. I do know that it was mostly about the scores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Early 2000? Dr. No through The World is Not Enough. They were in that wonderful twilight of when companies were transitioning from laserdisc to DVD and so the extras were aimed at the knowledgeable connoisseur rather than being press release puff pieces. I never got the Bonds on blu ray so I can't compare the content but this was some hard core nerdery here. The Brosnan's weren't as good because they were "of the moment" rather than the retrospectives that the other films were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These DVDs were a huge part of my early teen years getting really into all the Bond movies. I got them for Christmas 2001 or so. I later got the blu ray box that came out between Skyfall and Spectre and was very pleased to see that they included all the great documentaries from those DVDs for the older movies.

Popular Post DangerMotif 1,038 Posted September 29, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 29, 2022 Kinda sad that 90% percent of this will be about the singers when John Barry wrote most of the songs and created the "Bond sound" Niktob, KittBash and enderdrag64 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JNHFan2000 2,969 Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 I just watched this. I enjoyed it very much. The Bond films have some of my favorite music ever in them. So I'm happy with this documentary. Some great interviews and inside info about the songs etc. My favorote parts were: - Barry really gets the spotlight. Fantastic. - - It's a tribute to him in parts, which I felt was great. - Michael Caine & Goldfinger - Shirley Bassey throughout - No Time To Die segments (some wonderful behind the scenes) - Arnold about Casino Royale (his recording is the best of the theme. Ever) - The part of unused songs. Radiohead & Amy Whinehouse (especially heartbreaking) - We Have All The Time In The World segment - The "Final Ascent" segment. Great to see all the interviews with actors, singers and composers Celeste had a few small interviews. And I immediatly thought of how great it would be for her to do a Bond song. She's such a remarkable talent. enderdrag64 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
