I would love to see Zimmer & Company reprise John Barry’s 007 Theme, one last time., as a nod to the old school Bond, and Mr. Barry himself. I'd think an action sequence with Daniel Craig cut to this music might give us a real last stand up and cheer moment. As it hasn't been used since MOONRAKER, I've always wondered if that was creative choice, or if there's some legal restriction? Maybe Barry retired it himself? As Zimmer is working with another composer(s), this might make sense and certainly would be a nice touch to the score.

The samba rhythm could be very easily assimilated into something more modern sounding...you can do a lot with dundun dun dun DUN dun. I always wondered why the theme wasn't used more too.

I adore the Barry 007 theme. It's one of my favorite classic Bond themes and is absolutely my favorite cue in From Russia with Love. It was a little overused in Thunderball, though. When Barry updated it for Moonraker, it was in the "lush romantic Barry" mode and really didn't suit the boat chase it was backing. But on album it's beautiful.

I was disappointed the OO7 theme was not used in SPECTRE. Since the theme, with the exception of Moonraker, has been used primarily in the films that had SPECTRE as the antagonistic organization. I would certainly love to hear that theme too during the climatic final battle in No Time To Die.

A climactic action sequence is exactly the kind of use I'm suggesting for Barry's 007 theme...a last ditch, all is lost moment... and then against all odds, Bond comes through... something with the flavor of the expanded TO HELL WITH BLOFELD from the DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER score: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGqR3iJkP7w

I thought 007 was a reference to the number of co-composers Zimmer was likely to use.
