Hildur Guðnadóttir (Academy Award winner for Joker and Emmy Award winner for Chernobyl) confirmed at today’s first panel at Variety’s Music for Screens Summit that she will be scoring director David O. Russell’s next, currently untitled film which had early on gone by the name Amsterdam.

The film is written and directed by the Oscar-nominated O. Russell (Silver Linings PlaybookAmerican Hustle) and stars Oscar winner Christian Bale, Oscar nominee Margot Robbie and John David Washington (who replaced Michael B. Jordan). The plot details are currently under wraps. Matthew Budman (DetroitSpree) is producing and will be distributed via New Regency’s deal with 20th Century Studios. Three-time Academy Award winner Emmanuel “Chivo” Lubezki is the film’s director of photography of the project, and is Guðnadóttir’s first film since scoring the Academy Award-winning for Todd Phillips’ Joker

The movie is tentatively set to start shooting in early 2021 with a release in late 2021 possible.

Much later, he found himself in film school and the film forums of GoldDerby, and then migrated over to the former Oscarwatch (now AwardsDaily), before breaking off to create AwardsWatch in 2013. He is a Rotten Tomatoes-approved critic, accredited by the Cannes Film Festival, Telluride Film Festival, Toronto International Film Festival and more, is a member of the International Cinephile Society (ICS), The Society of LGBTQ Entertainment Critics (GALECA), Critics Choice Association (CCA), San Francisco Bay Area Film Critics Circle (SFBAFCC) and the International Press Academy. Among his many achieved goals with AwardsWatch, he has given a platform to underrepresented writers and critics and supplied them with access to film festivals and the industry and calls the Bay Area his home where he lives with his husband and son.
