Dustin Hoffman & Leo Woodall to Headline Crime Thriller Tuner from Oscar Winner

As a long-time movie enthusiast with a keen eye for talent and a soft spot for intriguing narratives, I am absolutely thrilled by the casting of Dustin Hoffman and Leo Woodall in the upcoming crime thriller “Tuner.” The pairing of these two exceptional actors promises a captivating performance that will undoubtedly leave audiences on the edge of their seats.


Dustin Hoffman and Leo Woodall have been cast in Tuner.

According to the deadline, Hoffman (from “The Meyerowitz Stories”) and Woodall (“One Day”) are set to star in a crime thriller directed by Daniel Roher, who previously won an Oscar for “Navalny”.

As a gamer speaking about myself, I’m often recognized as one of the top actors from the past five decades. At 87 years young, I’ve been fortunate enough to be nominated for seven Oscars, taking home the Best Actor award for Kramer vs. Kramer and Rain Man. Just recently, I lent my voice once more to Master Shifu in Kung Fu Panda 4. And if that wasn’t exciting enough, I’m part of the stellar cast for Megalopolis, a highly anticipated film directed by the legendary Francis Ford Coppola.

2022 saw actor Woodall making his mark as part of the cast for The White Lotus Season 2. Alongside the rest of the talented ensemble, Woodall clinched a SAG Award for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series. In February, audiences could catch Woodall sharing screen time with Ambika Mod in Netflix’s One Day. Upcoming roles for this busy actor include Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy and Prime Target.

What to Expect in Tuner?

By the given deadline, “The movie narrates the tale of an exceptionally skilled piano tuner, whose world gets flipped around when he finds out that the precision in tuning pianos mirrors his ability to open safes.”

In this scenario, Roher guides Turner according to a screenplay he jointly penned with Robert Ramsey. Notably, Roher is a celebrated Canadian filmmaker who has garnered acclaim for his work on Navalny, a documentary focusing on the Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny. This remarkable production earned the title of Best Documentary Feature Film at the 2023 Academy Awards.
