I don't think EON listens to good ideas anymore.Someone needs to tell EON about Hooverphonic!
ThanksI can't wait too see this edit.
I love the singer's voice but I can't say that I'm fond of the song itself. It has a melancholic tone similar to For Your Eyes Only (another song that's not a favourite of mine). I never intended to use it because I wanted a theme that had more bombast and excitement. I'm a bit biased when it comes to Bond music. John Barry scores in particular. I adore the Golden period of Bond scores, so many different styles in a short space of time. Mr Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (in my opinion) was the great Bond theme that got away.What do you think of the unused Phyllis Hymann title song and did you ever consider using it for the fanedit?
No worries and thanks for the response. I do agree that the use of MKKBB is consistent with most of the John Barry scores that are being implemented for the fan edit. Maybe if Phyllis Hymann's theme was used on the end credits of the film as a farewell to Sean Connery since this is his last performance as Bond, it could probably work? Like how Licence to Kill had the title opening sung by Gladys Knight which starts off bombastic and then the end credits have If You Ask Me To sung by Patti Labelle which comes into a perfect soothing closure for a revenge film and in a way Dalton's performance as Bond.I love the singer's voice but I can't say that I'm fond of the song itself.

Ultimately rejected in favour for a newly composed theme song matching the title, Thunderball. Yes, the better song was chosen in the end but both songs are still great. That's why I chose MKKBB for my version, it's a theme composed by John Barry, it was originally proposed for Thunderball and seeing that NSNA is a remake of Thunderball, I thought.... why not. I know that on my YouTube channel, I've received criticism in regards to the choice of song. Some who wanted the Phyllis Hyman song, even some people who wanted the original Lani Hall song instead (why?).
I understand that many people like the Phyllis Hyman song and fair enough. It is a good song and considerably, a better song than the Lani Hall version. But as I mentioned before, it's not what I want for a Bond theme. I think knowing how John Barry operated as a composer, he stipulated that he was involved in composing the main title theme for his Bond scores, even if it a co-writing credit. So for consistency, as I used John Barry cues from his previous work on other films as a re-imagined score for my NSNA edit, it makes sense to use a song that he composed.
Apologies for the long winded response.
I am, as well.Very glad to hear you're finishing up the edit. Looking forward to seeing the final results.
I use MKVToolNix to include all the various audio and subtitle tracks.Once that's finished, I need to figure out how the hell I attach it to the video file as a second audio track.
Thank you, that's been a life saver!I use MKVToolNix to include all the various audio and subtitle tracks.
Thank you, fingers crossed!When asked fir a changelist, this editor really delivered. That's how it's done! Excellent job @TheWorld ofJamesBond! This edit is being reviewed for approval.
Have faith in your abilities, my friend. If your ability to articulate in text is any indication, you have so got this! Besides, you have been working on it since before Albert Broccoli was even born.Thank you, fingers crossed!
