Uncut Gems, scored by Oneohtrix Point Never, has its first trailer

The highly anticipated film is already receiving Oscar buzz from critics

The first trailer for Adam Sandler's new film Uncut Gems has been released and is already causing major buzz within the film community.

Featuring an original soundtrack composed by experimental producer Oneohtrix Point Never, Uncut Gems was directed by the Safdie brothers, Benny Safdie and Josh Safdie. Along with Adam Sandler, the film stars basketball player Kevin Garnett, Lakeith Stanfield, the Weeknd, Idina Menzel, and more.

This will be the second time Oneohtrix Point Never has worked with the Safdie brothers, as he also supplied the score for their film Good Time in 2017.

According to the synopsis, Uncut Gems will see Adam Sandler depart from his usual comedic persona and take on a more serious role: "Set in the diamond district of New York City, Howard Ratner, a jewelry store owner and dealer to the rich and famous, must find a way to pay his debts when his merchandise is taken from one of his top sellers and girlfriend."

Uncut Gems will see limited release in North America on December 13 followed by its full release on December 25.
