Amazing Spider-Man 2 Score To Be Done By Hans Zimmer, Pharrell Williams, Johnny Marr, Michael Einziger, & Dave Stewart

With it recently revealed that the first theatrical trailer for Amazing Spider-Man 2 will be released in December, Sony has just announced who will be doing the score for the film. Composer Hans Zimmer will work with Pharrell Williams, Johnny Marr, Michael Einziger, and Dave Stewart to create music for The Amazing Spider-Man 2. The announcement was made by Lia Vollack, who is president of Worldwide Music for Sony Pictures. Commenting on the announcement, Zimmer said, "Marc 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. That was the thing that united all of us – the great love for Spider-Man. With all of these hugely talented people wanting to join us, it was Marc who said, 'Why not start a band?' Marc and I have had a great start jamming with everybody, and we still have a few surprises up our sleeve." Vollack 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!" The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is directed by Marc Webb from a screen story and screenplay by Alex Kurtzman & Roberto Orci & Jeff Pinkner based on the Marvel Comic Book by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko, is produced by Avi Arad and Matt Tolmach. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is scheduled to be released in movie theaters in the United States on May 2, 2014.
