I'm sure I heard about two British models who had filmed sequences for the titles.
Edit: Just had a quick look. Here's the relevant twitter link.
Not the case with this one, reporting from the shooting of the titles involved lots of models. Going for a more traditional Bond style credits sequence it seems.
She may be but she has been producing the Bond films since GoldenEye (I believe she was an associate producer on the Dalton films as well) and there were plenty of naked dancing girls in the Brosnan era.
I think Mendes's desire to make a more old-school Bond film will win out here.
Well I certainly hope they are there. I always enjoyed those titles as a kid! That said, the Casino Royale titles were pretty darn good.
Sure, but you can blame Broccoli for Jinx.

Yes, but she isn't above sterotypical female Bond roles and blatant sexuality. She knows the franchise tropes and is often happy to embrace them.
As it should.
He was hired with full understanding of what he wanted to do, though. There have been no stories of drama or issues, right? It can be assumed that he's making the movie he wanted to make.
Really like it 
this is still my favourite bond theme though (yes i know it's cheating
) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UtTc-Wd4VL0&feature=related

I didn't hate Die Another Day, but The World Is Not Enough deserves more love on this page. Look I linked it for you

So is it just that small tumblr preview in the OP? is there a YT version I can stream or something?
I agree that there is less room for creative freedom with them, but that doesn't mean they're not susceptible to a pitch. In this case, it seems likely to me that the writers along with Mendes and his team pitched the film they wanted to make, and the producers gave them the greenlight.
I can't imagine that they had any specific requirements at the projects inception other than: bring back familiar characters, and steer clear of what people didn't like about Quantum of Solace.

So I've been listening to Bond themes a bit to refresh myself. This is just reinforcing my belief that for the most part the Roger Moore era represents the low point of almost every element of Bond movies. If it wasn't for the Live and Let Die theme he'd be the absolute worst in EVERY category.

I don't agree with a lot of this post, but it does contain Youtube links for most every Bond theme.
Just for anyone else who wants to do the same.
I would agree if it wasn't for the fact that For Your Eyes Only is one of the best films in the series.

While I don't listen to her normally, her style seems perfect for a bond theme. I'll wait till I see the film to hear it though.
1/7 though, rich.

Yeah, the dude says the "Die Another Day" theme is great.

Those types of threads get insta-locked these days.
But AVTAK and TMWTGG never happened!

Anyone know why the song preview on soundcloud was taken down? I wanted to send a link to someone, and doesn't work. :|
The Moore era has the excellent(Live and Let Die, Nobody does it Better), the enjoyable(View to a Kill), the mediocre(For Your Eyes Only, All Time High, and Moonraker), and the truly dreadful(The Man with the Golden Gun).
The big issue IMO was skewing older for a few movies before correcting course with Duran Duran.

I still think its a shame Goldfrapp hasn't done a bond theme.
Just listened to the clip. Reminds me of Goldeneye when it ramps up a bit. I like it.
I also now have a suspicion that Newman might be involved in it's composition, thankfully. Also, I love it also has a real strong hint of the Bond theme in it - something that always helps. Anyway, HERE IS MY TOP FIVE BOND THEME TUNES JUST BECAUSE:
1. On Her Majesty's Secret Service - John Barry (best fucking thing EVER. Why hasn't it been brought back in a later film!?)
2. GoldenEye - Tina Turner/Bono/The Edge (I just love it. Brilliant return to form after the boring Licence to Kill theme. It's a very dark theme too, which was the first such example since Live and Let Die imo).
3. Thunderball - Tom Jones (THAT FUCKING VOICE)
4. From Russia With Love - John Barry (not the Matt Monroe one - the instrumental. It's badass).
5. A View to a Kill - Duran Duran (The actual song is great, but the instrumental versions in the film take it to another level. So good)

Yep. Been a while since Moonraker.

Slightly unrelated, but listening to Muse's 2nd Law now. Supremacy is basically their attempt at a Bond theme.
Edit: Apparently their drummer actually said this as well.

Yeah, googled song right after posting that. I actually dig it, but I'm happier with that Adele preview.

I agree, but her voice is totally a match for Bond.Should have been Noel Gallagher
But I approve.

Sounds great, but not as good as SNAAAAKE EATEEERRRR
This was my first thought as well.
I like this song though. It's a tad bit too slow and mellow though.

I agree strongly with these sentiments.

Fuck Muse, and I'm glad that is not the song.
I am watching through my set now, and I loved this. Is it seriously not used in the other films? Because It is very good, and seems familiar even though it has been some time since I saw From Russia, so I thought it was. Maybe I just recognized some reused elements.
edit: I see you probably just meant bring back, as in to the Craig version of films. I don't know. They could probably make it work, and it is awesome, but I'm not sure if it is a perfect mesh with Craig's Bond.
In the same film, I love the first 10 seconds of the titles "Medley"
