Daniel Pemberton has been hired to score the upcoming film adaptation of The Man from U.N.C.L.E. The film is directed by Guy Ritchie and stars Henry Cavill, Armie Hammer, Alicia Vikander, Hugh Grant, Elizabeth Debicki, Luca Calvani and Jared Harris. The spy action comedy is based on the 1960 television series and tells the origin story of the first pairing of the two spies — one American, one Russian – who up on a joint mission to stop a mysterious international criminal organization, which is bent on destabilizing the fragile balance of power through the proliferation of nuclear weapons and technology. Ritchie has also written the screenplay with Lionel Wigram (Sherlock Holmes) who is producing the project with John Davis (Predator, The Firm, I, Robot, Chronicle). Pemberton’s previous scoring credits include Ridley Scott’s The Counselor, the horror thriller The Awakening, this year’s comedy Cuban Fury and the British comedy series Peep Show. Ritchie has previously collaborated with such composers as Hans Zimmer (Sherlock Holmes), John Murphy (Snatch, Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels) and Michel Colombier (Swept Away). The Man from U.N.C.L.E. is set to be released on January 16, 2015 by Warner Bros. Pictures.

I must revise my original comments, I've reviewed his IMDB list of credits
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1207404/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1#composer
He seems to have a very active career in UK TV and a few of the shows listed I have seen and were good.
So, I must retract my original comments and will keep an open mind until I see the film itself and hear what he does for it.

Daniel did a fine retro spy score for the 2012 UK TV series DIRK GENTLY which sounds like it could fit nicely into a stylish U.N.C.L.E. environment. This news item from one of my old columns describes it:
"DIRK GENTLY/Daniel Pemberton. This score for BBC Four’s drama series, based on Douglas Adams’ cult classic ‘Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency,’ showcases Pemberton’s instantly catchy style: a score driven by a retro feel channeled through infectious harpsichord riffs and cimbalom melodies over a pop combo beat - as lifted right out of a 1960s detective TV show. Pemberton’s score is an ode to UK TV legends such as John Barry, Laurie Johnson and Roy Budd, but with a modern twist and it also features other quirky elements such as Wendy Carlos-inspired lo-fi electronica!"

Let's hope that Jerry Goldsmith's original 5/4 time theme gets the respect it deserves.

I thought Theodore Shapiro was scoring this.
Oh, well.
There was never any offiial confirmation.

I'll care when there are samples and I like them. Until then, the art work and tracklist mean nothing to me.
