Re: Craig is back: Discuss Bond 25 here
When a composer drops out or is replaced mid-production the new composer is often from Zimmer's Remote Control productions. An example being when Denis Villeneuve's regular collaborator Johann Johannsson was replaced mid-production on Blade Runner 2049 by Zimmer and Benjamin Wallfisch. Might be a similar situation to that if it is true. Where a relatively indie composer has trouble recapturing a familiar sound on a massive scale.
If one of Zimmer’s crew does Bond it won’t sound like Bond. It will sound like Newman’s take on Bond but even more generic. It’s a fast way to put together a film score.
