I must confess that I am a huge fan of composer Thomas Newman’s work. From AMERICAN BEAUTY to ROAD TO PERDITION to THE GREEN MILE and beyond, the man is a lyrical genius. He’s never been much of an action movie composer, but that didn’t stop me from getting jazzed to find out he was composing the score to James Bond’s latest adventure, SKYFALL. Being a Sam Mendes mainstay, I’m happy to see the director-composer continue their collaborative relationship.

In this latest production videoblog from 007’s new film, we see Thomas Newman composing the classic Bond riff with some help from at least one band member that’s been around since the very first Bond film, DR. NO.
