With just a few months to go before the new James Bond movie No Time To Die hits theatres in April, the producers have brought in a new composer in an unprecedented move.
Sources told Variety that Eon Productions have hired Oscar-winning composer Hans Zimmer (The Lion King, Gladiator, Blade Runner 2049) to take over following the departure of Dan Romer. According to the report, Romer and Eon had “creative differences.”
No Time To Die director Cary Fukunaga hired Romer in summer 2019; they previously worked together on Fukunaga’s Beasts of No Nation and Maniac.
Variety reports that Zimmer may not be working on the No Time To Die music alone, due to the very short turnaround. Unsubstantiated rumours suggests that Benjamin Wallfisch and Lorne Balfe might be collaborating with Zimmer on the No Time To Die score.
This change-up is unexpected and unprecedented. Variety reminds us that never before in the the 58-year history of the James Bond series has a composer been replaced during post-production.
No Time To Die is scheduled to hit theatres on April 10, and it is expected that it will be the final James Bond movie starring Daniel Craig in the lead role. Ralph Fiennes, Ben Whishaw, Naomie Harris, and Léa Seydoux (who also appears in Death Stranding) all return to the roles of M, Q, Miss Moneypenny, and Madeleine Swann respectively. The new cast members include Rami Malek as the villain, as well as Billy Magnussen and Ana de Armas.

There is a good reason why Dell is one of the biggest global PC manufacturers. Dell’s laptops and desktop computers are well built, well priced, and backed by the best customer service in the industry. The Alienware lineup also fills the niche for enthusiast and high-end gaming perfomance rigs. January is generally a very good month to buy a Dell or Alienware PC. CES, the largest professional electronics show in the world, happens in January and it’s a good time for Dell to advertise low prices on their most popular models as well as announce new products for 2020. Here are the deals that are currently available.
Fantasy Flight Interactive, the video game division of the tabletop game company Fantasy Flight, is closing up shop. Tim Gerritsen, the boss of the Madison, Wisconsin-based studio, announced the forthcoming closure of the studio in a post on LinkedIn.
“It’s with great sadness that I have to report that the decision has been made to close Fantasy Flight Interactive next month,” Gerritsen said. “I’m proud of the team and the game we’ve dedicated ourselves to for the past few years. It’s a been an amazing journey with even more amazing people.”
Fantasy Flight Interactive’s one and only game is Lord of the Rings: Adventure Card Game, which was produced under license by the Lord of the Rings licensing company Middle-earth Enterprises. It’s notable for, among other reasons, being the first adventure card game based on The Lord of the Rings.
Gerritsen went on to say that he is working to help affected staffers find new positions, while he will also be looking for new work following the closure of Fantasy Flight Interactive in February. Gerritsen previously worked on BioShock Infinite, Prey, Rune, and the MechWarrior franchise.
Lord of the Rings: Adventure Card Game was officially released in 2019 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC. The game is based on Fantasy Flight’s tabletop Lord of the Rings card game that was released in 2011, and it will continue to be supported on console and PC.
Fantasy Flight Interactive was launched in 2017, so it lived for a period of around two years.
A Nintendo Direct has been announced for later this week that will be themed around Pokemon.
Referred to by Nintendo as a Pokemon Direct, you’ll be able to watch the whole presentation over on Nintendo’s website or YouTube channel on Thursday, January 9 2020, starting at 06:30am PST / 09:30am ET or at 14:30 GMT if you’re in the UK.
Nintendo said in an announcement tweet that the stream will last for roughly 20 minutes and will contain new Pokemon information.
About 10 years ago Origin built the original Big O, a liquid-cooled PC with an Xbox 360 crammed into the same box. Last year the Big O returned, with a massive chassis housing a PC, an Xbox One S, a PS4 and a Nintendo Switch. That insane product was just a concept though – Origin just built one because it could. This year at CES 2020 the monster is back, and now as an actual consumer product.
The new Big O has slimmed down – it’s using Corsair’s Crystal 280X case instead of the massive Origin Genesis case, with RGB lighting powered by Corsair iCUE. And while it does cram both a PC and console in there, you have to choose between a PS4 Pro or Xbox One X – you don’t get both (plus a Switch). However, in addition to the PC, the console is liquid cooled too. And you can configure it with a built-in capture card, so it’s in theory a good option for console-based content creators and streamers.

At CES 2020, NEC unveiled the lightest laptop I’ve ever held. Weighing just 1.85 lbs, the Lavie Pro Mobile is the one of if not the lightest laptops ever made. It’s definitely an ultrabook – there’s no discrete graphics card here – designed for productivity and, of course, portability. But that portability is really astounding.
The laptop I use on a daily basis weighs just more than 3 pounds, and that may not seem like much of a difference. But holding it and then the Pro Mobile one after the other – the difference is night and day.
Despite that incredibly light weight, the Pro Mobile doesn’t feel flimsy at all. This is thanks to a magnesium lithium chassis paired with a carbon fiber lid. Really it feels just as solid as my daily driver, a Lenovo ThinkPad, just much lighter. The Lavie Pro Mobile is made by NEC, a Japanese PC manufacturer that’s owned by Lenovo. The Pro Mobile has thus far only released in Japan but Lenovo is expanding it this year into the US in March, with a starting price of $1,599.
