A long time ago I read a post, I'm pretty sure on Xixax, where a guy told his experience with scientology. It was all in point form.  The story went that scientology helped him out a lot but when he ran out of money (I think he was a student) they dumped him.

I did a site:xixax search but couldn't find it.  Does it exist?

even if it's in 'Variety', I won't give a damn about this movie until we get more

'til then it sounds like a rumor...even if it isn't...still sounds like it



(to play Devil's Advocate, nobody believed a porn-pudding-love story either for awhile)

Are you playing devil's advocate to your own statement?

Yeah...wtf? Are you?

I'll be honest and say I think I was drunk when I posted that

i wonder if he'll use the same second second assistant director...maybe i can get a hook up from a former Gilmer resident?

Could PTA get this done by the end of the year? Most likely Dec. 2011, but we can dream, right?

I asked the same question when TWBB was announced, but nah, it's not likely considering the way he works.

tpfkabi

has there been any talk about when/where shooting will begin?

I don't even think he's finished writing, unfortunately.

Not that I think it will happen and not that I want it to happen...but I've always wondered what one his movies would look like shot by another DP.
It's like, how much more black could this be? And the answer is none. None more black.

Stefen

I don't. I hope PTA works with Elswit for the rest of his career. They are perfect together.

When the news originally came about, I was a little dumbfounded because it was the news that PTA was working on a new script. That really isn't news. Nothing was completed or certain so it seems like one of those times when a news source got hold of a story and ran with it like it was news when there are still more questions than answers about the fate of the project.

The good news is that as far as the description goes, it seems there is a decent amount already conjured in the story and Hoffmann seems willing, but the bad news is that the script is not done, there is no funding for the project and while PTA (apparently) believes the film will only cost so much money, it could end up costing more if changes are made. There Will be Blood made money, but it also made money because it was a darling on the award circuit. I think most studios understand a film like that would be hardpressed to build popular credibility again unless it struck award gold and awards are always impossible to predict.

Since PTA is the hardest person to predict as far as timelines go, I'm guessing the wait will be longer than what everyone hopes for.

Stefen

It's not the first movie we've started discussing before even a script was finished and it certainly won't be the last.

I think we have enough tidbits to attempt discussion.

Who's going to be the first dork to write some PTA fan fiction? My moneys on Reinhold or bigideas.
