I haven't had any real problems with his Bond scores. I think he's gotten better with his last two. It might interest you to know (in case you didn't already) that Arnold isn't working on Skyfall, Thomas Newman is scoring this time out.

BTW, welcome to the forums.

I'll be amazed if it isn't either Adele or Shirley Bassey.


Duet?

They will release it in October so it can be in the charts when SKYFALL is in theatres, I guess.

Or they still tinker with it, having Newman adapting it to fit the score?

3 weeks and we'll know who it is. Though it won't be much of an announcement, it's been the worst kept secret, along with the title Skyfall.

I really hope we don't have to wait any longer then September for the announcement, I can't believe they haven't told us yet, why all the secrets EON?

True.

But unless they get Bassey back for a bit of Bond nostalgia, it can't really be anyone else.

I'm hoping for Adele to do the theme song and Bassey to do a ending credits song.

And what if they will do an instrumental? Is that the reason for not announcing any singer?

Still holding out for David Bowie or Depeche Mode on this end.

I think the posting on the official SKYFALL Facebook page asking fans who they'd like to perform the theme song pretty much rules out an instrumental personally, but I could be wrong.

I couldn't imagine them doing a instrumental, unless it was simply the Bond theme. But even that would be really plain and none exciting. When is the X Factor finished?

Fortunately not until December. For the record, I had to look that up and thankfully didn't know that off the top of my head.

LOL. Well at least the X Factor is out of the question.

I can't imagine that it'll be much longer before we know. It seems as though the identity of title song artist is a rather poorly kept secret, so I'm not sure why they're taking so long to announce it.

That's could be it, but the evidence does seem rather strong. I'd be shocked if she's not announced as the performer. She's certainly not my first choice (or second or third for that matter), but it does seem like the most likely outcome.

I was just checking out 007.com and noticed they don't have the "JAMES BOND WILL RETURN" counter anymore, I can't believe how close we are to the release and how little we know about SKYFALL.

This is the first film I've followed intensely and I thought by now the theme song would have been on the radio.

I seem to recall YKMN was released in September, AWTD in October...DAD also in October. But in each case, we were aware well before those dates who was singing them.

Also surprised we don't have anything yet. Which, to me, is just evidence it's going to be Adele and her pregnancy is skewing the timeline a bit.

God, what I wouldn't give to have my hero, Rod Stewart sing the title song!


I think they should always use a contemporary artist, but Rod is someone who probably should have done one, yeah.

Personally, I'd like to have Muse do it. But like everyone else 99% sure its gonna be Adele. Maybe Muse for Bond 24?

Muse will inevitably be speculated about for BOND 24. They've been a popular suggestion throughout the Craig era. They could certainly end up doing a decent job - assuming they don't follow their recent dub-step experiments!

True, I'm not a fan of The 2nd Law. But I love The Resistance and Uprising sounds decidedly Bondish.
