Daniel Lopatin, aka Oneohtrix Point Never, is an electronic musician that burst onto the film scene thanks to his score for the incredible 2017 film “Good Time.” And considering how well the experience went with filmmakers the Safdie Brothers the first time, Oneohtrix is back as the composer for the directors’ next film, “Uncut Gems.”
According to Clash, Oneohtrix Point Never has signed on to write the music for the upcoming thriller “Uncut Gems,” which is the Safdie Brothers’ newest film that stars Adam Sandler, Lakeith Stanfield, Idina Menzel, Judd Hirsch, Eric Bogosian, and Pom Klementieff.
Here’s the synopsis:
From acclaimed filmmakers Josh and Benny Safdie comes an electrifying crime thriller about Howard Ratner (Adam Sandler), a charismatic New York City jeweler always on the lookout for the next big score. When he makes a series of high-stakes bets that could lead to the windfall of a lifetime, Howard must perform a precarious high-wire act, balancing business, family, and encroaching adversaries on all sides, in his relentless pursuit of the ultimate win.
Oneohtrix Point Never won the Best Soundtrack award at Cannes in 2017, for his work on the “Good Time” soundtrack.
