Jay Wadley (I’m Thinking of Ending Things, Swan Song, Franklin, Indignation, I Carry You with Me, Fire Island) & Trevor Gureckis (Servant, Old, The Crowded Room, The Goldfinch, Dead Space, Voyagers) have teamed up to score the upcoming drama The Friend. The film is written and directed by Scott McGehee & David Siegel (The Deep End, Bee Season) and stars Naomi Watts, Bill Murray, Constance Wu, Ann Dowd, Sarah Pidgeon, Noma Dumezweni, Carla Gugino, Felix Solis and Owen Teague. The movie based on the novel of the same title by Sigrid Nunez follows a New York writer in the aftermath of her lifelong friend and mentor’s unexpected death as she has to deal with his complicated literary legacy, his eccentric ex-wives – and a massive Great Dane named Apollo. McGehee & Siegel are also producing the project with Liza Chasin (The Lost City, Stillwater). The Friend will premiere next month at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival.
