I like the main title song as the best music of the movie.
Danny Elfman is a good choose for make the music for bond 22 or later.

His scores for Batman and Beetlejuice, even Men In Black all seem very 'bouncy' for lack of a better word.
Still, it would be interesting in a Bond movie.

It would be like having John Williams do it, he's a great composer, but this wouldnt suit his style. Which works in the same vein as say Mike Myers, he's a great actor (IMO), but would you want to see him play Bond? of course not, its just not his style.

Both of these composers are high on my list of favourites. I'd like to see what they could do.Originally posted by ShockTroop22
I love Mr Elfman's scores, but i have too admit i dont think it would work in a Bond film. As "Mousey" said; they seem a little bouncey. Which isnt a bad thing, its just not right for Bond.

Yes, there styles are far from what we expect of a Bond composer. But everyone critisizes David Arnold (And i'm not one of these people) for being too similar to John Barry.
I think it would be an interesting score if Elfman was hired to pen one, but for now I'm hoping that David Arnold stays on board for a few more films!

...but, Elfman's score for Spider-Man is bloody fantastic. As Tim knows, I'm always listening to it on my PC (the opening credits).

David Arnold.... I'm tired of Xeroxed John Barry mixed with techno beats. I'd like to see someone do a really satisfying orchestral score for a Bond movie, and both Elfman and John Williams sound like good candidates.

Listen to the Mission: Impossible Soundtrack. I mean the original score (point music 454 525-2) and not that "Music from and inspired by..." compilation. There are great suspense pieces like "Hamburg Break In"(TND) and high-speed action pieces like "Come In 007..."(TWINE). He could really do a Bond-score...
...but only when David Arnold is sick or something. He's the best for the job right now and he loves scoring Bond. I hope he's staying for a looong time and brings in some continuity especially when Pierce is leaving the role.

I've been a die hard Elfman fan dating back to his work with Oingo Boingo. (For you John Gardner fans, the band has a song called "No One Lives Forever" which always makes me think of the novel.) The man can masterfully cover any mood or style of film scoring.
He's phenomenal. While his underscore music for Beetlejuice or Men in Black may be bouncy and whimsical, his music for Planet of the Apes or Batman reveals his darker side. As noted earlier, his work on Mission: Impossible should show he can also do the spy genre justice. He's tried his hand at every major film genre and done a phenomenal job. He's one of the most talented artists in the business, hands down, and has already made a place in filmmaking history. I'd love to hear him do 007.
All that being said, my loyalties are firmly lodged with David Arnold. There's no way I want Arnold to stop scoring the James Bond films. I would do anything to see David Arnold continue. Should he stop for some reason, however...

Like everyone, I enjoyed David Arnolds score for Tomorrow Never Dies, but for me, he failed completely with TWINE. And if TWINE is the way Arnold wants to score future Bond movies (unfortunately the DAD score is already done), then please hire another composer for the next Bond movies.

I'm sorry, a Danny Elfman score would never work with a Bond film.

John Williams is a musical genius, a god to many soundtrack afficiandos out there, but I think we're missing out on someone else. His name is Michael Giacchino and he has scored all of the "Medal of Honor" games. Has anyone here played "Medal of Honor Frontline" on Playstation 2? His score for the game, which I own on CD (and it runs at 77 minutes as well), is one of the best musical scores I have ever heard. I'd like to see Giacchino, who is being hailed as the next John Williams, take a crack at a Bond flick. He'll pour out the best material you've ever heard, next to Barry and Arnold mind you.
