Spider-Verse Composer Reflects On Initial Dismissive Reactions to Movie
Despite its ongoing legacy, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse composer Daniel Pemberton had to try and convince people of the film's potential. The Lego Movie and 21 Jump Street duo Phil Lord and Christopher Miller helped develop the animated Spider-Man film with directors Rodney Rothman, who co-wrote the script with Lord, Peter Ramsey and Bob Perischetti. Lord and Miller would produce the film with franchise vets Avi Arad and Amy Pascal as well as Christina Steinberg.
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse introduced Miles Morales to the big screen as he is bitten by a radioactive spider and develops spider-like abilities, putting him on the path to become the next Spider-Man after Peter Parker is killed by the Kingpin. When the towering supervillain begins opening the door to the multiverse in the hopes of being reunited with his late wife and son, Miles is introduced to a number of other Spider-People and must learn from them and work with them to stop Kingpin from destroying his universe. Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse scored critical acclaim upon its release and became the first non-Disney/Pixar film in 12 years to bring home both the Oscar and Golden Globe for Best Animated Feature Film, though this success wasn't evident to some.
