Bryan Senti has been tapped to compose the music for the upcoming drama Lowriders. The movie is directed by Ricardo de Montreuil and stars Eva Longoria, Demián Bichir, Melissa Benoist, Theo Rossi, Tony Revolori and Gabriel Chavarria. The movie is set against the backdrop of East LA’s near-spiritual car and follows the story of a talented young street artist caught between the lowrider world inhabited by his old-school father and ex-con brother and the outlet that defines his self-expression. Josh Bierne-Gordon and Justin Tippin have written the screenplay based on previous drafts by Cheo Hodari Coker and Elgin James. Brian Grazer (A Beautiful Mind, Apollo 13) is producing the project for Imagine Entertainment, alongside Jason Blum (Paranormal Activity, Insidious) for Blumhouse Productions. As previously reported, Marc Streitenfeld was originally attached to score the movie. Lowriders is set to premiere in June as the opening night of this year’s Los Angeles Film Festival. No release date has been announced yet.
Senti whose previous scoring credits include Experimenter starring Peter Sarsgaard & Winona Ryder also has the drama London Town starring Jonathan Rhys Meyers coming up. The movie will also premiere at the LA Film Festical.
