Anyone else see this?

" 'Bond 24' confirmed for 2015, Sam Mendes and John Logan both to return "

I must say I am very excited by this news, as Sam Mendes is one of my favourite directors, and think he did a brilliant job on Skyfall.

I hope this also means a return with DOP Roger Deakins, and composer Thomas Newman... A holy trinity as far as I'm concerned.

Hope they have a better theme song this time round.

I'm no Adele fan, but I like the Skyfall theme personally... it sounded like a Bond theme, which some recent contributions have not... and it had some clever stuff going on in it.

I prefer Skyfall over Casino Royal, but its a very close thing... QoS felt like a step back, and seems like an older film that hasn't aged too well; though its still better than most, if not all, of the Brosnan stuff.

Skyfall is a great looking film too, and that is important for me.

So, what about the title theme, which is always a big talking point with any new Bond.... who would you guys like to do the opening track?

I'm struggling to come up with choices, but I reckon 'Muse' could be a good choice... 'Florence + the Machine' could deliver something powerful too... I would even welcome 'Adele' again

EDIT: Just seen this info, which may just be rumor... "Bond 24 to be based on Sebastian Faulks' 2008 novel Devil May Care"

"The book is set in 1967 and is a sequel to The Man with the Golden Gun (Roger Moore's second Bond film). The story has Bond against an evil chemist named Dr. Julius Gorner who is threatening to "bring Britain to its knees"

Are Portishead still together? I reckon they could knock up a decent theme tune.

They Are... Love them and I would love that, but I'm not sure the 'Bond' producers would pick them, esp. if they listened to 'Third' which is not the easiest of albums [its my fave of theirs though]
