Daniel Pemberton: Last News

Katcy Stephan Producer Chris Miller says all is well in the Spider-Verse. Miller took to X on Tuesday to deny a claim from The InSneider about problems with the third film in the Oscar-winning franchise, “Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse.” The newsletter reported on Monday evening that Sony had “scrapped most” of the movie for creative reasons, and that it “would be unlikely to debut before 2027.” “Nothing has been scrapped,” Miller tweeted in response.

Jon Burlingame A cool 1960s vibe, an old-fashioned love theme, dramatic music befitting a lunar landing: Daniel Pemberton‘s score for “Fly Me to the Moon” needed to accomplish all these and more. Greg Berlanti’s rom-com with Scarlett Johansson as Kelly Jones, a Madison Avenue marketing genius hired to sell the moon to the American public and Channing Tatum as Cole, the NASA director in charge of the Apollo 11 launch behind America’s first moon landing meant Pemberton could incorporate different musical strands “from the fun aspect to the romantic couple element, and then NASA and a kind of Americana nostalgia,” says the English composer whose credits include “The Trial of the Chicago 7” and “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.” “I was trying to capture this beautiful, melancholic nostalgia for a time that feels very distant now in America,” Pemberton adds.

Scarlett Johansson and Channing Tatum lead romantic comedy Fly Me To The Moon.Directed by Greg Berlanti (Love, Simon), the film follows the developing relationship between the director of NASA Cole Davis (Tatum) and newly hired marketing specialist Kelly Jones (Johansson), against the backdrop of the 1960s space race.Other cast members include Jim Rash, Woody Harrelson, Noah Robbins, Anna Garcia, Donald Elise Watkins, Bill Barrett, Stephanie Kurtzuba, and Colin Woodell.After it debuted in cinemas from July 12, the film is set to be released on Apple TV+ later this year.The film’s score is by Daniel Pemberton, who is best known for composing the Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse soundtrack.His other credits include its sequel, Across The Spider-Verse, Steve Jobs, The Trial Of The Chicago 7, along with the LittleBigPlanet games.Fly Me To The Moon also features a number of tracks by well known artists from the era, including Etta James, Aretha Franklin, and Jackie Wilson.You can check out a full list of the songs below.‘Sweet Soul Music’ – Arthur Conley‘These Foolish Things’ – Sam Cooke‘Security’ – Etta James‘Big Bird’ – Eddie Floyd‘People Sure Act Funny’ – Arthur Conley‘Slip Away’ – Clarence Carter‘Do I Love You (Indeed I Do)’ – Chris Clark‘It’s Your Thing’ – Ann Peebles‘Moon River’ – Aretha Franklin‘Why Don’t You Do Your Thing’ – Jackie Wilson‘To Love Somebody’ – Bee Gees‘Hold On I’m Coming’ – Chuck Jackson and Maxine Brown‘Fly Me To The Moon (In Other Words)’ – Bobby Womack‘Nothing Can Change This Love’ – Sam Cooke

Jazz Tangcay Artisans Editor Composer Daniel Pemberton pushed a few boundaries and “made something really creative and different” when he scored 2018’s “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.” When he returned to score the sequel, “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse,” he knew he would have to “push it as far as we can go.” Pemberton says he had to build the score from the ground up, which was complicated. “You’re trying not to make a score that sounds like other film scores. You’re trying to invent your own language.” Inventing that language took experimentation, research and failure. He explains, “I spent two years researching and developing this score, going through ideas, coming up with concepts and throwing them out.”
