The last film directed by Paul Thomas Anderson was Licorice Pizza, which was released in late 2021 and brought Cooper Alexander Hoffman and Alana Haim as new lead stars in a nostalgic 1970s film. With a soundtrack composed by Paul McCartney and David Bowie, the renowned and beloved author got an Oscar nomination with his film and since then has been working on a project about which not much is known yet.
This 2023 has been a very tense year for the film industry, the most notable conflict being the writers’ strike; Of course, without leaving aside the huge box office flops of some films that were expected to devastate the profits, such as The Flash and Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania. Warner Bros. Discovery is one of the companies that is facing a crisis within its organization and three of the most relevant directors of American cinema have put their hands to work to prevent the seventh art from continuing to fall.
It was recently announced that Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese and Paul Thomas Anderson, better known as PTA, met with David Zaslav to discuss the future of TCM, a channel that ensures that classic films are televised to preserve their legacy. However, some say that the CEO of the company that canceled the premiere of Batgirl and that also disappeared almost a hundred titles from the streaming platform now called Max, has not the slightest interest in saving said branch that is operated by Warner.
There are those who believe that the conversation that took place between the three filmmakers and the businessman could have had even more impact because Warner Bros. will be the distributor of the next PTA film that, according to information from IndieWire, will star Joaquin Phoenix, Viggo Mortensen, and Regina Hall; intensifying the rumors of the participation of Leonardo DiCaprio that was revealed a few months ago.
Although not much is known about the project yet, nor has the study confirmed the integration of these actors into the cast, Production Weekly reported that it would possibly be an adaptation of the 1990 novel Vineland, by author Thomas Pynchon, in which they address the radical movements of the 1960s and the characters face the consequences of their actions during the Ronald Reagan government.
It had previously been shared that filming would begin in June in the city of Los Angeles, California, which is also where the events of the book are set, but there is still no official information on whether or when production has already started. The title is still unknown, but the list of actors to ring louder, marking DiCaprio’s first collaboration with the Californian filmmaker and his third with Phoenix.
