The Amazing Spider-Man 2 director Marc Webb has assembled what some are calling a “supergroup” of talent to score the upcoming and long awaited, The Amazing Spider-Man 2.
Oscar winning composer Hans Zimmer will team up with Pharrell Williams, Johnny Marr, Dave Stewart and Michael Einziger to create the soundtrack that will accompany the film.
The announcement was made by Sony Pictures, Worldwide Music president, Lia Vollack, earlier today. In the release, Zimmer commented, “[Director] Marc Webb and I were talking about Spider-Man, and as the word got out, so many of our friends and musicians started calling us up, wanting to be a part of it, because they love Spider-Man.”
Vollack then added, “This kind of collaboration is only possible because of who Marc Webb is – not only a director but also a musician – combined with who Hans is and what Spider-Man means to so many people. Nobody has ever approached film music in this way before and this likely can never be replicated. We’re huge fans of Hans, Pharrell, Johnny, Mike, and Dave, and when combined, we know the result will be truly unique… and amazing!”
Zimmer has partnered with each of the artists previously in separate projects. He and Williams composed the songs used in Despicable Me, Marr played on Zimmer’s score for Inception, Williams was part of the drum orchestra for Zimmer’s Man of Steel, Stewart contributed to Madagascar 3 and Einziger on The Lone Ranger.
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is directed by Marc Webb from a screenplay by Alex Kurtzman, Roberto Orci and Jeff Pinker, based on the Marvel comic book by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko.
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is due for release to theatres in the U.S. on May 2, 2014
