I couldnāt agree more. Iām always on board for trying new approaches. Newman had a lot of electronics in his scores, but always added lush symphonic touches as well.
The sound definitely needs some shaking up at this point, so this is welcome news.
Interesting!! Iām not familiar with Dan Romerās work myself. Iāll have to do some investigating. As much as I wanted David Arnold back, Iām all for a new face to take on the scoring duties. This will be intriguing indeed. 
Romer confirmed it on his Twitter account.
I only know his Maniac score, which was perfect for that series but definitely not indicative of how heād do Bond, so I am intrigued to see what he does.
Iāve never heard any of Romerās work but I am excited to see what he comes up with for Bond 25.
If you want to get an idea of Romerās ability to use dramatic overtures and the orchestra to hit what weāve come to expect, listen to his soundtrack for The Innocent Man for Netflix. I find him an intriguing choice.
Just finished listening to a couple of pieces from The Innocent Man and he is an intriguing choice. I wonder how or if he will incorporate the Bond theme into the film.
I certainly hope so. As a fan, I canāt imagine that Fukunaga wouldnāt include it.
Same. The film wouldnāt feel right without it but at this point itās all speculation, for all we know Romer could have a very bombastic Bond score but I doubt it, we could be looking at an experimental score like Goldeneye.
Iām hoping we get an incorporation of the theme tune into the score, which we havenāt had a lot (aside from an instrumental track of the theme) since Quantum of Solace.
Interesting news. Though Iām a little disappointed we arenāt getting David Arnold back in the composerās seat.
Perhaps not such a departure from Newmanās workā¦
But iām very excited to hear a fresh take on the character and format. I loved Maniac and iām pleased that Fukunagaās got his collaborator with him; the simpatico will make the edit smoother and closer to the directorās vision.
Iām now twice as keen to check out Beasts of No Nation.
Honestly Iāve never heard of Dan Romer. And as much as Iād like Arnold back, Iāve been listening to Beasts of No Nation soundtrack andā¦ it might work. Fascinating.
Iāve listened to a few tracks since hearing this news.
The track āIf someone tries to chop it downā from the Maniac soundtrack sounds a bit like the PTS of Skyfall.
After Newmanās derivative Spectre score, this is great news. Iām slightly sad Arnold isnāt back for Craigās swan-song, but oh well.
I liked both of Newmanās scores and think they suited Craig the best. I knew he wasnāt coming back, so I liked the idea of Arnold doing another. Iām okay with Romer though - I think if weāre going to hire directors we need to back them in.
With Newman, I loved the Skyfall score, but was disappointed by the Spectre one. Iām going to keep an open mind for Romer. Though, the non-Barry/Arnold scores have been hit or miss throughout the series.
LALD is fun. GE is an acquired taste but I love it.
