Daniel Pemberton has announced that he has composed the original score for the upcoming HBO original movie Brexit. The film is directed by Toby Haynes and stars Benedict Cumberbatch as Dominic Cummings, who spearheaded the Vote Leave campaign and Rory Kinnear as Craig Oliver, Prime Minister David Cameron’s director of communications and head of the Remain campaign. The drama goes behind the scenes, revealing the personalities, strategies and feuds of the Leave and Remain campaigns. James Graham (A Brilliant Young Mind) wrote the script and is also executive producing the HBO Films, BBC Studios and Channel 4 production with Juliette Howell (London Spy) and Tessa Ross. Pemberton has previously collaborated with Haynes on last year’s Black Mirror episode USS Callister, for which he received an Emmy Award nomination. Brexit will premiere in the U.S. on January 19, 2019 on HBO and is expected to air around the same time in the UK on Channel 4. Visit the official movie website for more information.
Pemberton (Steve Jobs, The Man from U.N.C.L.E., Ocean’s 8, King Arthur: Legend of the Sword) has also recently scored the animated movie Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, which is currently playing in theaters nationwide and also has the Netflix series The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance (co-scored with Samuel Sim) coming up.
