Daniel Pemberton (Spider-Verse: Into the Spider-Verse, Ocean’s 8, The Man from U.N.C.L.E.) is composing the original score for the upcoming romantic comedy Yesterday. The film is directed by Danny Boyle (Slumdog Millionaire, Trainspotting) and stars Himesh Patel, Lily James, Kate McKinnon and Ed Sheeran. The movie follows a struggling singer whose dreams are fading who wakes to discover that The Beatles have never existed and finds himself with a very complicated problem. Richard Curtis (Love Actually, Notting Hill) wrote the screenplay. Curtis and Boyle are also producing the Working Title production with Tim Bevan & Eric Fellner (Atonment, Tinker Tailor Solider Spy), Matthew James Wilkinson and Bernie Bellew (T2 Trainspotting). Pemberton has also been involved in the new recordings and production of the Beatles songs for the movie. The composer has previously collaborated with Boyle on the director’s 2015 feature Steve Jobs. Yesterday is set to be released on June 28, 2019 by Universal Pictures.

As previously reported, Pemberton also has the Netflix event series The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance (co-scored with Samuel Sim) coming up.
