David Arnold Will Return... Or Not?

[robthehand 3]

While David Arnold claims that he will be returning for Casino Royale, the ever-reliable IMDb says no.

If Arnold's not doing it - who should?

[Luke Skywalker 1,796]

..... IF arnold is saying it... trust him more than the IMBD...

Giacchino could work marvels, by the way

[Lurker 5]

Do not take the word of the Inaccurate Movie Database.

[Kendal_Ozzel 36]

Them not saying he is isn't the same as saying he won't.

What I find more troubling is the rumor that somebody else is writing the song. They need to let Arnold write the song and then get Michael Bublé to sing it.

Mentioning that name here could ruin the thread, but I for one would LOVE to hear what Giacchino would do with a Bond score; he knows his electronics and has already proved he can inject much-needed nostalgic Barry-esque flair.

[Incanus 5,716]

Giacchino would be very apt replacement IF Arnold does not compose for the next Bond. Not that I much care since Bond music is not my kind of music. Never has been and never will be.

[Orson 1]

It would be interesting to see what Giacchino came up with if given a chance to score the next one or another.

Still waiting for a Lost soundtrack to be announced.

Would it? We've already heard The Incredibles.

I hope Burt Bacharach gets assigned to the project....again.

He would have the chance to do something original rather than a likeness.

It would be a chance, but would he take it?

They might as well stick with Arnold then because his Gia's music from Alias is heavily Bond/Arnold influenced anyway.

i heard that david arnold might be asked to score roland emmerichs next film about king Tut, he always does his best work with emmerich

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265]

So from whom did you hear this?

Precisely. With projects like MI:3 and more Alias coming up, I doubt he'd be interested in more of the same sound, even if it is a series as profilic as the Bond one.

He still may be rejected, in deference to Williams

Just checked www.davidarnold.com.

Mr Arnold himself:

they got it wrong again, I am still on as we speak.Just temp socred the screen tests for the actors up for the part which was intriguing.Looking forward to the next phase of Bonds career on screen.

He also denied being involved with King tut.

I love Arnold's work.

I wished they'd do a full ligit release for Independence Day and Stargate. Those are my two favorite scores from him.

[Kendal_Ozzel 36]

Isn't Stargate pretty close to complete?

[Trent B 337]

I'd say about 60%.....more or less...there's still quite a bit of music I heard in the film that isn't on the album. Especially the film version for "Battle At The Pyramid"

[Unlucky Bastard 7,782]

And the film version of "Ra, The Sun God". More "Ra" chanting in that one.

[King Mark 3,631]

Couldn't Barry do a last Bond film..he's not dead is he?

k.M.

[#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265]

He might as well be.
