Bond themes are the secret sauce of the movies: paired with the bombastic credits, they set the tone for the action to come, and speak to the current era of the franchise. We can expect the opening scenes of the film to deliver on a few time-honored traditions: the gun barrel sequence, the pre-title teaser, and perhaps most importantly of all, the highly stylized title credits, set to an original theme song. No matter how directors or actors put their signature stamp on the franchise, James Bond films have a familiar formula.
