But if the main villan is female, the odds of the title being "Property of a Lady" are pretty good.
I mentioned this a while back too, when the female villain rumours first started. It would make sense to me. Only thing is, DC said once that he didn't like that title - but as we know, he changes his mind a lot anyway lol
That same site reported Dennis Gassner and Thomas Newman returning last September, long before a director was found, and that it would be shooting in Croatia over 18 months ago, before it was even announced there would be a Bond 25. Also, it always credits the source as... itself...

Newman would mean Mendes is coming back.
I can't see Boyle using Newman. I really hope Newman isn't coming back.
Regard less, Boyle is known for using music well in his movies. If Boyle directs the score will not be mediocre.
Though I love Skyfall's score, Spectre had one of the most lackluster scores I have ever heard and actually hindered some scenes. So I also would love if Arnold came back or even better if a brand new composer took a crack at Bond.
My feelings exactly walther p99, Loved Skyfall's score but Spectre seemed more of
a "Copy and paste " exercise. I have enjoyed all of D Arnold's scores, In fact
I thought he was getting better with each film ( I regard QOS as his best .. so far )
"I've been informed that there ARE a couple of QAnon supporters who are fairly regular posters in AJB."
I really like what Arnold did. If he comes back I'd like to see him lose the slight Barry pastiche in places and find more of his own voice. It's a difficult thing to do as he needs to acknowledge the legacy but not be hampered by it. Maybe someone new would find that a bit easier.
Of that of which we cannot speak we must pass over in silence- Ludwig Wittgenstein.
This is obviously just my two cents but .......
So Far from what I've seen. I should be a happy Bond fan.
Vic Armstrong back for action, a talented director in D Boyle.
Just get D Arnold in for the music and that all sounds good
to me. -{

Nope! Keep the Barry influence! IMHO Arnold is great at the slower pieces (eg "City Of Lovers", "Elektra's Theme") but rather anonymous at the faster ones which could use MORE Barry influence.

Agree 100%. In fact if I was in charge I would direct Arnold to channel as much of the Barry style as possible. My position has always been, it's a Bond film, I want a Bond score. Feel free to put your own mark on it but when I hear that score it must be immediately recognizable as "Bond music" not a generic action film score and Arnold is quite capable of that.

Bond films since Goldeneye have occasionally been in danger of being crushed by their own Mythos (not so much in the Craig era). Whilst I love a nod to Barry I can't help feeling that it should do it lightly. Probably a minority viewpoint. I too want it to be a Bond film, to look like one, and sound like one but it has to be carefully done. In the main Arnold has got it just right but I wouldn't want him to ladle it on with a Trowell

As long as the score takes Barry's approach, with a focus on fully developed music that uses melody (or even just a chord progression, it doesn't matter as much to me if the music sounds like Barry's or not. I would still like a hint at Barry's sound. Live and Let Die and For Your Eyes Only are excellent scores that take the same approach that Barry does but don't use his sound. I would happily take a score like those rather than something as dull as what Newman has put out.

LALD, CR and QOS are my favorite non-Barry scores for pretty much the reasons put forth by Matt S. In LALD, the great George Martin (who knew a little bit about orchestrating and arranging music) did a great job of creating a score, utilizing McCartney's great theme song and some very good music of his own. As talented a formally trained and gifted musical technician as Martin was along with the musical genius of McCartney they still understood and valued what Barry had done and managed to create a score that still captured the "feel" of Barry's work. I believe that Arnold is able to infuse his Bond scores with that same "feel". The results are even better, as in CR, when Arnold is able to collaborate with the theme song artist and incorporate a good theme song into the score.
if you have the American version of Help! or 1962-1966, there's a snippet of James Bond type music played very fast before the title track begins. Its not on the British versions of either album for some reason.
The film Help! also had a globetrotting Bond vibe in general. Like McCartney had ambitions to do a Bond film for nearly a decade before he finally got the chance.
(was Barbara Bach married to Ringo when she did her film?)
Rick Smith of Underworld has been functioning as a sort of musical director for Boyle. I'd love to see him in collaboration with Arnold do something new. Arnold Orchestration perhaps?

I just want a similar score that Dave Arnold did for for Tomorrow Never Dies. The track called "White Knight" is brilliant! And the track when Bond meets Q at Hamburg airport, is just perfect.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-QkjgHcFUnY

It would be the icing on the cake if Arnold would return.
Thus far, on paper, a pretty good recipe is being put together.
Craig back, Boyle, Vic Armstrong for stunts, just need Arnold and i reckon we're in for something mega.
Of course all of it is heavily reliant on the script being solid and a great cast but im pretty happy so far but really do want an Arnold return!

Agreed.
Now, who does he remind me of...?

Gassner confirmed he would be returning last October.
