arnold was not involved in writing DAD title tune.
he's only worked on songs for TWINE and CR-

he did 'surrender' with k d lang but its was not used in the titles, only used in end credits.

'The Music of James Bond - Book Preview
6th March 2012
The story of the music that accompanies the adventures of Ian Fleming's intrepid Agent 007 is one of surprising real-life drama. In The Music of James Bond, author Jon Burlingame throws open studio and courtroom doors alike to reveal the full and extraordinary history of the sounds of James Bond, including:

How the "James Bond Theme" was written at the last minute for Dr. No and how it became the subject of controversy, ending in a libel trial 40 years later in London's High Court;

How Bond composer John Barry invented a new kind of action-adventure music for movies, and how despite writing immensely popular scores for "Goldfinger", "Thunderball", "You Only Live Twice" and eight other Bond films, he never received a single Academy Award nomination for his Bond music;

How the "Goldfinger" soundtrack battled the Beatles and "Mary Poppins" to the top of the American charts and bested both in 1965;

How "Thunderball" went through two songs, three singers, and its own courtroom showdown, before it ended up with a title tune;

How top artists like Shirley Bassey, Tom Jones, Nancy Sinatra, Louis Armstrong, Paul McCartney, Carly Simon, Sheena Easton, Duran Duran, a-ha, the Pretenders, Gladys Knight, Tina Turner, Sheryl Crow and Madonna were convinced to record for Agent 007;

How changes in the Bond sound reflected what was happening in pop and rock circles, from the twangy guitar of the Sean Connery era to a more sedate sound for Roger Moore, synthesizers for George Lazenby and Timothy Dalton, and a more contemporary approach for Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig;

How Frank Sinatra planned to sing "Moonraker" but didn't, then Johnny Mathis did (with a different lyric), only to be replaced by Shirley Bassey;

The untold stories of how Eric Clapton played guitar on "Licence to Kill" but saw his work shelved; and how Amy Winehouse very nearly co-wrote and sang the theme for "Quantum of Solace." '

alt version of a-ha's TLD-

If the story is for real, then he sure acted unprofessionally in releasing this info. How he would know if it was Bond's house or not is beyond me, so I'd take this info with a grain of salt all things considered.

Indeed, though I have a feeling the location will be used to better effect than it was in TWINE.

I'd been very excited at the prospect of Bond running through the slums of Mumbai, with action scenes set on the iconic railways of India, and it was unfortunate when those plans fell through*... With that said though, I think Turkey will make for an excellent SKYFALL location, and there will be a special enjoyment that comes from seeing Bond once again careening towards danger in a Turkish railcar.

*not EON's fault, Indian officials threw up all sorts of roadblocks that made it logistically impossible

Isn't the train sequence being shot in South Africa now?

Nope, it's being shot on location in Turkey. Trains and equipment are being moved into location as we speak. They'll be shooting at the train station in Adana, the famous Varda bridge, and throughout the Turkish countryside.

Excited to see what Deakins will do with the film (and Mendes obviously)
Loved the lighting in that pic of Bond in Shanghai.
And with excitment and slight worry, i'm waiting to see how Whishaw will
play Q, if that is who he really is playing.

Man, these pics are so spoilery, but I don't even care. Very excited to see them, thanks Spaldron. Normally I do everything in my power to steer clear of spoilers, going so far as to avoid most trailers in an effort to go into movies with a fresh perspective. With SKYFALL though, I feel like all the elements are at long last in place, the team behind and in front of the camera, as well as the general approach to the series we are seeing from EON. I think we are on the precipice of a very special moment in Bond history, and that BOND 23 will in all likelihood go down as one of the finest BOND FILMS of all time. In the run up to November 007, I find I can't help but engrose myself in the behind the scenes aspects of the production.

PS: TOLKENHOBBITGUY:

I share your opinions, and Whishaw's Q is the only casting decision that still strikes me as questionable. I liked him in PERFUME, but I can't exactly envision how he will portray this character. I have faith though in Mendes, and I think it will all work out in the end, like Heath Ledger as JOKER.

I think I can envision how he would play it (but, then, I always seem to think I can envision just about everything, I suppose

)...

A reversal of the previous dynamic, with Q as enthusiastic as older/previous Q about the inventions, but with the boyishness previously associated with Bond added to his character. Jolly, slightly immature Q playing against a gruffer Bond, who is as flippant as Bond always was about the gadgets, but this time, he;s the older, grumpier side of the equation. Lightness from lad, dourness from Bond, in a 'you gotta be kidding me' kind of way. Comedy out of the playing up of the very seriousness Craig is criticised by some for.

I don't know how many of you saw The Hour on BBC, but I can imagine Whishaw playing Q quite close to his character in that (who is actually a big Bond fan), takes is job seriously but acting like he doesn't . . . if that makes any sense

Guess I could've made my point more simply, thusly:

The schtick of 'Grow up 007' flipped to 'Grow up Q', conveyed by the stern look of the elder statesman in this version of the relationship.

Hope he doesn't play it like The Hour. Kind of a not seeming to take it seriously when things are put to him to respond to, but actually being deadly serious, that isn't only aspiring to be like bond, that IS bond, in broad strokes, and that kinda betrays the intent of the writer more than it helped the characterisation (IMO, of course).

For a dramatic dynamic in a scene, particularly in a short character based one that is essentially a 'skit', you need opposites. You need a geek versus a gruffian, someone impressed by the other person, who isn't comfortable with someone being impressed with them, flippant versus staid, anything that gives an instant 'conflict'.

But I suppose Q secretly wishing he was like Bond, or aping him in some way, regardless of his role jobwise, would fit the second of the above guffed out pairings, a potential source of conflict and humour, from one person being irritated by the other (the latter point being the nature of the previous Q/007 relationship, for sure, providing a decent edge to what are essentially scenes of 'pay attention while I provide you with an item that may save your life later, no matter how much you look at what I do like it is bullshit whenever you swagger into my workplace').

And today's prize for stating the obvious goes to...

In fairness I probably could've read your original post more thoroughly.

I see your point about him playing it like The Hour, but I think some of the boyishness might an interesting aspect. Either I'm very happy with Whishaw's casting and think he'll do a great job.

On a side note, when Fassbender takes over the Bond role, I'd like to see an older Q again maybe someone like Hugh Laurie or Bill Nighy although I can see why having someone younger makes sense with up to speed gadgetry

Quick HENCHMAN UPDATE: http://www.mi6-hq.com/news/index.php?itemid=10052&t=mi6&s=news

Looks like an apt choice, interesting he was cast so late in the process. Is that an indication it wasn't a big role, or that they'd been struggling to find the right man for the part?

Haven't checked the topic in a while but yes, to King of Kafiristan, yeah i really liked him in Perfume as well.
Especially in the end, where things take a turn to the, eh, unexpected. He handled that scene well.
I also have my, well not worries but slight nerveousness about how he will be written. As some have
pointed out, it can't be in the 'Now pay attention' territory anymore, it'll be interesting to see how
comical or serious it will be.

On another note liking the look of Bardem as Silva. Didn't know about that name, but yeah sounds cool.
Sounds better than Dominic Greene, i hope the writers leave the name puns just to the women, if they must...
