Johnny Greenwood is composing the music for Paul Thomas Anderson's upcoming film.
The news comes through an interview that Greenwood did. the Guardian promoting his new eight-hour organ composition. Towards the end of the interview, Greenwood was asked about his other projects and confirmed that he is actively working on the soundtrack for Anderson's next film.
“I'm incredibly lucky that Paul spoils me and gives me so much time to experiment and compose,” he said. “That's not usually the case in Hollywood, where soundtrack writers are often very low on the food chain and are sometimes only given a couple of days to edit a complete score.”
The as-yet-untitled film, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Regina Hall, Sean Penn, Alana Haim and Teyana Taylor, is currently filming in California. A release date has been set for August 8, 2025 via Warner Bros.
Greenwood previously composed music for Anderson's films. there will be blood, Norwegian wood, Teacher, Inherent viceand ghost threadthe latter of which earned Greenwood an Oscar nomination in 2019. The two also recently collaborated on the music video for The Smile's “Friend of the Friend.”
Speaking of The Smile, the Greenwood band with Thom Yorke and Tom Skinner will begin a European tour starting in June. Tickets can be found here..
Greenwood was also asked about the status of Radiohead, to which he responded: “Well, The Smile are on tour, Ed. [O’Brien] is making another solo album, Colin [Greenwood] he's playing bass with Nick Cave (they just performed five sold-out nights at the Sydney State Theatre), so there's a lot of music being made. Just not like Radiohead. We still talk all the time, we just need to make a plan and book some time together in advance. I've never been very good at it. Too busy fooling around in this studio.
