Greenwood previously composed the soundtracks for Anderson's films, including 'There Will Be Blood,' 'Norwegian Wood,' 'The Master,' 'Inherent Vice,' and 'Phantom Thread,' the latest of which was nominated for an Oscar in 2019. The two recently worked together on the music video for 'Friend of the Friend' by The Smile. 

The news was revealed in an interview to promote his completed eight-hour organ piece. When asked about his other projects near the end of the interview, Greenwood said he was actively working on the soundtrack for Anderson's upcoming movie.  

"I'm incredibly lucky that Paul indulges me and gives me so much time to experiment and compose," he said. "That's not usually the case in Hollywood, where the soundtrack writers are often very far down the food chain and are sometimes given only a couple of days to bash out a complete score."

The film has no title yet and is now under production in California. It will star Leonardo DiCaprio, Regina Hall, Sean Penn, Alana Haim, and Teyana Taylor.  

Warner Bros has set a release date for Aug. 8, 2025.
