The only thing I really want to see back for Bond 23 (and future Bond films) is Daniel Kleinman. I don't know why they bothered to get rid of him for Quantum of Solace, but I think that his title sequence designs are all AMAZING!!! Imagine, if you will, what he could have done with Quantum's title sequence....

Don't get me wrong. I thought that Quantum's title sequence was okay, but it wasn't as good as Casino Royale's was. I don't care which director they get (well, I do), but all I really want to see is Kleinman doing those title sequences again.

Thoughts? Comments?

Uh, what's wrong with the half-dozen other threads dedicated to what we'd like in the film? I'm sure that if you looked hard nough, you'd find something on Kleinmann.

I liked seeing a fresh take on the titles, and would be open to seeing another firm have their hand at it.

Agreed.

I actually liked the titles for QUANTUM OF SOLACE, and wouldn't mind it if MK12 came back for another title sequence. I also wouldn't be opposed to someone new coming on board to give us a different kind of title sequence.

I've always thought Kleinmans title sequences were very retro and brilliant. I love the one for Die Another Day, despite what many say about them. He will probably be back anyway, Forster only wanted to bring over some of his team for Quantum of Solace. I expect things will be back to normal in Bond 23.

Just out of interest, has Kleinman ever mentioned his feelings over being replaced for Quantum?

I personally feel that Danny Kleinman has shot his load (as it were) with Bond - though his work on ROYALE is stunning. Apeing Maurice Binder is not enough, especially when that apeing is usually all over the place and OVER-designed. At least MK12 knew to keep a look and timbre to their SOLACE work (which I think is retro bonkers brilliance - which is sort of what you want from a Bond).

I appreciate his work. With the QoS titles being unimaginative and exceptionally lackluster I'd be glad to see a return.

What was lackluster about them? Outside of Royale, I thought they were the best Bond titles we've had since Binder left the scene (And even his later ones left a lot to be desired).

I agree. I thought the QoS titles were terrific. Certainly a lot better than most of Kleinman's. I thought the GoldenEye and and Casino Royale titles were fantastic, loved the cold war imagery of GE and the retro feel of CR, but TND, TWINE and DAD were forgettable at best and had too much of a CGI thing going on.
