The Painter Soundtrack: The Painter (2024) is an American action-thriller starring Charlie Weber and Jon Voight, directed by Kimani Ray Smith from a script by Brian Buccellato. The film had a limited U.S. theatrical release on January 5, 2024, followed by a digital release on January 9, 2024 — it’s no longer “upcoming,” so this guide covers the finished film’s real composer, cast, and score, and is upfront about which soundtrack details could and couldn’t be independently verified.

A retired CIA agent who now spends his days painting is pulled back into a dangerous world when a woman from his past resurfaces. Hunted by a rogue black-ops program and a relentless assassin, he has to rely on skills he’d hoped he would never need again.
Score and Composer
The score for The Painter was composed by Rich Walters, a Vancouver-based film and television composer with two Emmy nominations and two Canadian Screen Award nominations to his name. Walters’ own official credits list confirms The Painter (2024) as one of his scoring jobs for SP Media Group, alongside other SP Media Group titles including Utopia, Air Force One Down, and Hard Home (all 2024) and Disquiet (2023).
Correcting the record: earlier coverage of this soundtrack described Walters as having “composed” Elysium (2013), Chappie (2015), and Nobody (2021). That’s not accurate. Walters’ own published filmography lists those three titles under feature film music editing, not composing — a different role entirely, and each of those films had its own credited composer. We’ve corrected that mischaracterization here rather than repeat it.
A note on the track list: earlier versions of this page listed two “songs” as being part of The Painter’s soundtrack — one described as a Zack Snyder’s Justice League track, and another from a generic karaoke backing-tracks collection called StudiOke. Neither claim holds up under independent research, and we could not confirm either song actually appears in this film from any reliable source. Rather than repeat unverified information, we’re leaving a track-by-track list out of this page until a genuine cue sheet or soundtrack album surfaces publicly. What audiences hear throughout the film is Rich Walters’ original score.
Where to Stream
