Daniel Hart is set to reteam with director David Lowery on the upcoming thriller Old Man and the Gun. The film is written and directed by Lowery and stars Robert Redford, Casey Affleck, Sissy Spacek, Danny Glover, Tom Waits and Tika Sumpter. The movie is based on a short story by David Grann and revolves around an elderly bank robber who escaped from San Quentin at the age of 70 and pulled off an unprecedented string of heists that confounded authorities. James D. Stern (Looper) is producing the project for Endgame Entertainment, Dawn Ostroff and Jeremy Steckler (Granite Mountain Hotshots) for Condé Nast Entertainment, Anthony Mastromauro (Beer League) for Identity Films, Toby Halbrooks for Sailor Bear and James M. Johnston and Bill Holderman (A Walk in the Woods). Hart has previously scored Lowery’s previous four features, St. Nick, Ain’t Them Bodies Saints, Pete’s Dragon and A Ghost Story. Old Man and the Gun has recently been picked up by Fox Searchlight for a domestic release, which is expected in 2018.
Hart is also expected to return for the second season of Fox’s The Exorcist, which will air next TV season.
