That was nearly a year ago. Things could change in that time. Until I see an official announcement, I'm going to hold out hope that they're going with someone else.

not a fan of Arnold's i see? i don't care for a lot of his stuff but i've always enjoyed his Bond scores.

^ Same. @Aldo this is from Bond23.net which carried the Arnold story.

At that point he was still waiting for a script and would keep quiet about the project.

Slightly spoiler-ish story about a stunt for the movie

Maybe I'm just holding out hope that he wouldn't be back. I don't necessarily dislike his scores, I just feel like it's time for something new.

Dose anyone know off the top of his head just how many Bond films weren't scored by either him or Barry?

Six.

Dr No (Monty Norman - though Barry was involved as arranger)
Live And Let Die (George Martin)
The Spy Who Loved Me (Marvin Hamlisch, and not in fact Burt Bacharach at all.)
For Your Eyes Only (Bill Conti)
Licence To Kill (Michael Kamen)
Goldeneye (Eric Serra, and John Altman uncredited re-scoring after previews noticed that Serra's score wasn't up to the job)

Burt Bacharach? I thought it was Marvin Hamlisch. Bacharach did the 60s "Casino Royale", though that was obviously not part of the official film series.

Ah, yes, I was getting momentarily confused there - it was Hamlisch...

And they reused one of John Barry's scores for the tank chase, as far as I know.

No, that was one of John Altman's pieces, specifically requested to be more traditionally Bond (and Barry) ish

It's kind of a shame though. I really liked Serra's original piece for the tank chase. Sure in the end we would have been deprived of the traditional Bond theme in the film, but I think the film would have been stronger for it.

I realize I'm perhaps one of the few people who feel this way, but there you go.

His role probably isn't in the film. Not a huge deal either way, imo.

Admiral_Young · September 11 2011, 03:41 AM

^ Not a huge deal...but Felix is one of my favourite characters. I blame John Logan

They made a point of not using it in CR until the end, because, as it was stated, Bond hadn't 'earned' it yet. They only used it at the end, when he had become the James Bond we know and love.

It wasn't used that much in QoS, though, either. Maybe one or two places, aside from the closing credits. Though I did like how it was used, with an unusual arrangement that fit in with the flavor of the track. I personally think the Bond theme should be laid on thick, but also integrated into the score so it doesn't get too repetitive, pretty much the way "You Know My Name" was quoted throughout Casino Royale, but always in different ways appropriate to the mood. You can even have it straight up when Bond's just being insanely awesome.

I don't particularly want to go back to the early days, where James Bond gets his entire theme music straight-up when he arrives in a hotel and starts unpacking his suitcase, but I consider that a far milder sin than one of the Dalton movies I watched recently, where the score was so dull that I was screaming DA DA, DA DA, DA DA DAAAA, DA NA, NA NA NAAAAA! at the TV during an action sequence it should've by all rights been playing over.

Well, that's not too bad. You can have a Bond movie without him. I was worried he'd been recast when I saw the headline.
