Randall Poster is the films music supervisor and is the one who made the “leak” of White acting in the upcoming film. According to source Poster said, “Jason Isbell, Jack White, uhh, oh, my god, who’s that famous blues harpist, older cat, it’s not Toots Thielemans. Anyway, there’s like four musicians in the movie that don’t play music.”
Fans of White and Scorsess should be excited and thrilled about this duo teaming up for this movie. The film has yet to release a date for the movie, however rumors have said it is to be released in May 2023. For more stories on the artist click here.
