David Arnold
Born in 1962 in Luton, England, he is currently in the spotlight due to the release of "Casino Royale", the latest film in the 007/James Bond franchise. The original soundtrack by David Arnold is eagerly awaited by any one admirer of the popular saga penned by Ian Fleming.
This is not the first time Arnold is scoring a 007 picture. He did it already to a great success in no less than three previous occasions: "Tomorrow Never Dies" (1997), "The World is Not Enough" (1999) and "Die Another Day" (2002).
David Arnold is best-known for his rousing orchestral style; an approach particularly suited for the films he usually takes part in. His scores for "Stargate" (1994), "Independence Day" (1996), "Godzilla" (1999) and "2 Fast 2 Furious" (2003) have placed him as one of industry\'s most respected and acknowledged composers.
