According to MI6 HQ American composer Thomas Newman will be scoring the new James Bond film, 'Skyfall', due out later this year. It will be his first 007 adventure.

Newman has been a long time collaborator with 'Skyfall' helmer Sam Mendes, having scored four of the directors other films: 'American Beauty' (1999), 'Road to Perdition' (2002) [which also starred Daniel Craig], 'Jarhead' (2005) and 'Revolutionary Road' (2008).

His latest work includes films 'The Adjustment Bureau', 'The Help' and 'The Iron Lady'.

Regular series composer David Arnold, who has scored five James Bond entries from 'Tomorrow Never Dies' (1997) through to 'Quantum of Solace' (2008) will be busy in 2012 as he is the London Olympics musical director. Arnold took over the mantle of resident composer from John Barry and took the essential elements of Bond and updated them for the 90s by incorporating driving rock rhythms and the use of modern technology in the production.
