“Midnight Sky” composer Alexandre Desplat spoke with Jon Burlingame in the Variety Streaming Room about how he created a score without ever meeting with director George Clooney in person. The composer didn’t even travel to record the score with the London Symphony Orchestra. Instead, he partnered with Abbey Road and, through a team effort and Zoom, could see Clooney in the U.S. and the symphony in London while producing the score from Paris.
