The golden age of superhero movies led by Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man films was like no other, the webbing on which every Marvel movie that followed bounced into the stratosphere off of. They gave us Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker with Kirsten Dunst as MJ, facing off with nefarious foes like the Green Goblin (Willem Dafoe) and Doc Ock (Alfred Molina)—and were the blueprint to the blockbuster summers that have dominated over the last couple decades.
To celebrate the 20th anniversary of what some consider the greatest Spidey film—Spider-Man 2—Danny Elfman’s iconic score will finally be released in vinyl record form for collectors out there. The immaculate themes are legendary and still inspire. I was at Danny Elfman’s Coachella set where he performed Spider-Man themes from the first two Raimi films and I ascended. A live orchestra in the desert calling to all the film nerds in attendance was wild but a real moment that happened.
You’ll be able to own the vinyl though Sony Music Soundtracks which will be taking pre-orders starting at midnight ET tonight, with details teased on its X and Instagram platforms.
Danny Elfman’s Spider-Man 2 score is a must for any cinephile audio collector; I’m excited to add it to my own physical media library. For more information visit Sony Music Soundtracks on X or Instagram.
