Anne Nikitin (American Animals, Mrs. Wilson, The Imposter, Calibre, This Beautiful Fantastic) has signed on to score the upcoming Netflix original movie Lost Girls. The film marks the narrative feature directorial debut of Academy Award-nominated documentarian Liz Garbus (What Happened Miss Simone?) and stars Amy Ryan, Gabriel Byrne, Thomasin McKenzie, Lola Kirke, Oona Laurence, Reed Birney, Dean Winters, Miriam Shor, Kevin Corrigan and Rosal Colon. The movie is based on Robert Kolker’s book of the same name and follows Mari Gilbert as she relentlessly drives law enforcement agents to search for her missing daughter and in the process sheds light on a wave of unsolved murders of young female sex workers on the South Shore barrier islands of Long Island. Michael Werwie (Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil, and Vile) wrote the screenplay. Anne Carey (Can You Ever Forgive Me?, 20th Century Women) and Kevin McCormick (Gangster Squad, The Lucky One) are producing the Archer Gray and Langley Park Pictures production. Lost Girls is currently in post-production and is expected to premiere later this year.
As previously reported, Nikitin has also recently scored the British romantic drama Sulphur and White, which is also expected to premiere in 2019 and the documentary Untouchable, which had its debut in January at the Sundance Film Festival.
