Casino Royale

[Danny Burton]

Interrupting your regular Elfman schedule to chime in and praise David Arnold’s Casino Royale.

The best and most exciting Bond score in centuries with a very memorable and catchy theme. The song Remember My Name is based on this new theme and I think it is also the best Bond song in quite a while.

Give this one a listen!

BTW, seems like the movie is a winner too:

All I can say so far is: I’ve always loved Chris Cornell’s voice, therefore was very excited about his rendition of the bond song – as for the rest – I’ll definitely go see it/hear it.

Sorry, but BOND makes me YAWN(D).

I wonder what a Danny Elfman James Bond score would sound like? Imagine an ultra retro Ellington/Barry amalgamation, complete with old school xylophones, and less-is-more woodwinds and brass?

Yeah, that’s the stuff.

An Elfman Bond score would be interesting, but I really think that if anyone besides David Arnold were to tackle a Bond score, it’s Michael Giacchino who deserves it most.

[Natrebo]

Right you are… he after all wrote the Best Bond score over the last 10 years for a non-Bond film.

…it’s Michael Giacchino who deserves it most.

What about John Barry? As I understand it, John Barry was once attached to The Incredibles, but his demo tracks were rejected for whatever reason. Maybe because Barry wasn’t interested in copying himself.
