Title: Has anyone been able to find PTA's cameo in Minority Report?
Post by: BrainSushi on April 05, 2003, 12:16:38 PM
I've heard that PTA makes a damn-near-impossible to find cameo in Minority Report, and even he doesn't know where he is. Has anybody actually been able to find PTA in the movie?

I know I haven't found him. If somebody as observant as PTA can't find HIMSELF in a movie... its safe to say "good luck" to someone who is looking. I think you'll have better luck spotting both Camerons.

When I went to the cinema to watch "Minority Report" I didn't knew that somebody famous has a cameo appeareance. But I immediately saw Cameron Crowe behind Tom Cruise in the bus.
Is there really P.T. Anderson?

If there is, Spike, its not worth looking for. Also, did you spot Cameron Diaz next to Crowe?

The best I have is as you are watching Tom Cruise and a group of people walking onto the train, if you look to the back right of Tom's head there is one man not facing toward the camera.  To me it has some resemblance to the back of PTA's head and haircut. I'm only basing this on the few pictures of PTA I've seen around the net.  It's probably not him though, and I am just seeing things.

I personally believe there is a cameo of the back of PTA's head also. when TC get's on the train. PTA's clothing style too.

At the risk of awakening the sleeping dog (and incurring the wrath thereof),

Quote...the most mystifying cameo in my mind will always be Paul Thomas Anderson's dodgy appearance in "Minority Report" as a pedestrian on a crowded subway platform. It might be the movie I've watched the most in my life, yet I still can't find him. Cameron Crowe and Cameron Diaz have much more noticeable cameos in the film (they'd just filmed "Vanilla Sky" with Cruise who'd recently made "Magnolia" with Anderson), but Spielberg says PTA is in there, so the hunt continues.


I'm surprised this hasn't been resolved all these years later.  Unless the good authority was right and it was, in fact, cut out.

now you've done it dude, how dare you reawaken the traumatic failure of xixax's inability to spot paul in minority report, we were almost fully healed, on the mend, and now you go crashing the house down all over again. members toiled day and night on a tightly scheduled, calibrated rotation going through the film frame by frame only to come up empty handed, no paul, zero, zilch. the endeavor resulted in significant member drop offs, ending marriages, friendships, i believe one xixaxer immolated himself during a manic bout of unaccomplished guilt. it was a very dark time, and now those wounds have resurfaced, just as some semblance of normalcy began taking root.

just kidding. he's probably there, but it's like the back of his head or something.

Yeah, if Team Xixax couldn't find him--he's undoubtedly unfindable...

Watching with headphones, I swear I hear his voice though.
