Slow-drip, precipice-dangling humor. Synthesizes the texture and pace of a film from the 1930s and sets it starkly in 2023 Finland.

Locked-off shots, sculpted shadows, and a classic sensibility toward color paints working-class despair against our time-out-of-joint predicament. All of history at our fingertips, and cycles just keep on repeating.

So, our fragile hopes carry us on.

From the same article - now praying this film is a hit, because I hate the tone of the following, who the hell are these execs across town and what the hell have they made that will be remembered in 20 fckn years, the audacity of these folks:

But executives across town believe Warners' math sometimes doesn't add up, with the studio decried as fiscally irresponsible. The Anderson film, for instance, was greenlit with a $115 million budget, according to sources. Underscoring the gamble, none of the director's movies has crossed $80 million at the box office. His latest, 2021's "Licorice Pizza," made $33 million worldwide. Even with Cruise's star power, "Magnolia" only mustered $48.5 million. (It was De Luca, then a New Line exec, who convinced Cruise to play "Magnolia's" misogynistic self-help guru.) The pair are said to be less pumped about another auteur's latest: Bong Joon Ho's "Mickey 17." In January, Warner Bros. pulled the $150 million Robert Pattinson sci-fi starrer from its schedule and then moved it to 2025. A Warner rep insists: "There is, of course, enthusiasm for it."

I already told ya'll that studio executives don't think of PTA in the same way we do and I was deemed a hater. Executives don't care about movies. They care about the bottom line. PTA has never been great for the bottom line.

I know it's way more expensive to film police car and helicopter chases than to have Alana Haim slow-rolling down a hillside, but I'm getting curiouser and curiouser where this $115M (OK, $95M after Leo) is going to show up on the screen.

Also, while I might be reading way way too much into this article, is it wrong to think that a door is opening to a future PTA/Cruise reunion?

We made a little teaser for the film now too!



I'm still in development on my next feature, AGE SEX LOCATION, about the arrival of the internet in northern Norway in the late 90s, and I'm doing some research/inspiration interviews now with anyone who has interesting things to share about using the internet back then.

If any of you would like to partake, let me know!

The film is about a young boy who discovers his sexuality and a gets a more complex understanding of his gender, so experiences regarding this are very interesting for us, but also just overall experiences of that wonderful, crazy time online.

Could Alana Haim be playing one of the other actors in Yours, Mine and Ours? Morgan Brittany?

Gary Goetzman is the youngest brunette in the picture.The one in the middle is Gil Reigers. I don't think Alana Haim is based on any of Gary's cast mates, but if it helps, Morgan Brittany DID describe Gary G as her soulmate and she also revealed she had a crush on him. Plus Lance was based on Tim Matheson and the two (Tim and Gary) are still friends!
