Sacha and Evgueni Galperine are currently scoring the HBO original movie The Wizard of Lies. The film is directed by Barry Levinson (Rain Man, Donnie Brasco, Sleepers) and stars Robert De Niro and Michelle Pfeiffer as Bernie and Ruth Madoff. Hank Azaria, Alessandro Nivola, Lily Rabe and Kristen Connolly are co-starring. The movie centers on Madoff’s massive Ponzi scheme, how it was perpetrated on the public and the trail of destruction it left in its wake, both for the victims and Madoff’s family. John Burnham Schwartz (Reservation Road), Sam Baum (Lie to Me) and Sam Levinson have written the script based on the book The Wizard of Lies by Diana Henriques. Levinson is also executive producing the project with De Niro, Jane Rosenthal (Meet the Parents, Analyze This) and Berry Welsh. Levinson’s previous five movies, including What Just Happened, You Don’t Know Jack and Rock the Kasbah were scored by Marcelo Zarvos. The Wizard of Lies will premiere later this year on HBO.

Evgueni and Sacha Galperine whose previous scoring credits include Luc Besson’s The Family and the Golden Globe-nominated The Past also have the thriller The Whole Truth starring Keanu Reeves and Barry Sonnenfeld’s Nine Lives starring Kevin Spacey coming up.
