Will Bates ((Immaculate, The Magicians, The Better Sister, Unbelievable, The Life List, Away, I Origins, The Path, Bliss, The Looming Tower) is scoring the upcoming Tuner. The film marks the narrative feature directorial debut of documentary filmmaker Daniel Roher (Navalny, Blink) and stars Leo Woodall, Dustin Hoffman, Havana Rose Liu, Jean Reno, Tovah Feldshuh and Lior Raz. The movie tells the story of a talented piano tuner whose life is turned upside down when he discovers that his meticulous skills for tuning pianos can equally be applied to cracking safes. Roher also co-wrote the screenplay with Robert Ramsey (Intolerable Cruelty, Life). JoAnne Sellar (Magnolia, Boogie Nights) and Lila Yacoub (Eighth Grade, Mid90s) are producing the project. Tuner will premiere this September at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival.
Bates also continues to score AMC’s Anne Rice’s Mayfair Witches, which will return for a third season. He also recently scored Eric Lin’s Rosemead, which premiered at this year’ s Tribeca Film Festival and is currently awaiting a release date, as well as Ross Partridge’s Birthrite (as part of Fall On Your Sword), which will be released in select theaters and on VOD next Friday, August 8 by Brainstorm Media.
