Replacing David Arnold

It's easy to come up with a list of plausible choices to take over from Arnold. Just a few off the top of my head:

Don Davis
Anthony Hale
Mark Isham
Wojciech Kilar
Ryuichi Sakamoto

Joe Hisaishi

You mentioned him to me a while back but I forgot his name. Thanks.

Short but sweet piece By Nicholas Dodd, who apparently does the orchestrations for David Arnold's Bond scores. Seems he's braching out in his own right. Not heard or seen anything of the Awakening so can't comment on how suitable he may be, but the article talks of simplicity in great pieces which is imo the antithsis of Arnold's approach to Bond, maybe Nicholas has learned a lesson or two from Mr Arnold ^^.

It's more the other way round, I'm afraid.

Nicholas Dodd IS the David Arnold sound. Arnold provides the bare bones, and Dodd turns that into the lush orchestrations we get (though usually overcrowded by Arnold's digi-ambiance). Take away Dodd, and you're removing Arnolld's life support as a composer.

Hiring Nicholas Dodd to compose the score would be like selling your house to move next door. Stupid.

Alright, I've decided it's time to stop commenting on suggestions and start making them. My sister gave me the SENNA documentary for Christmas, and Antonio Pinto provided a phenomenal score for it:
