Christopher Nolan's directive was clear to everyone in the cast and crew: Use CGI only as a last resort.

Script Review:

http://www.theoscarigloo.com/2007/articles/therewillbeblood.html


Expect a film with mesmerizing imagery. Director Paul Thomas Anderson seems intent on creating iconic images for the modern age. In my opinion, the best way to describe the essence of this film is that it will be Kubrickian. For those Anderson fans who've been waiting for five years, the trademarks remain intact -- the camera follows characters in long-sustained shots, there are scenes of intense emotion, and by God there will be blood. I would not call the material overtly violent, but nonetheless the deaths and murders that the script describes are both horrifying in their graphic rawness and their dark intention. This picture will be a harrowing experience, and not just in its visuals.

It's like, how much more black could this be? And the answer is none. None more black.

Entertainment Weekly.



After finishing Punch-Drunk Love in 2002, Boogie Nights director Paul Thomas Anderson found himself fumbling for a follow-up. ''I was really sick of the way I was writing,'' he says. ''Everything looked as though I had written it, and that was a horrible feeling.'' Purely as an exercise, Anderson decided to adapt a scene from a novel he had just discovered: Oil!, Upton Sinclair's 1927 take on the grueling, greedy business of prospecting for black gold in California. ''It was a buoy, just to keep writing,'' says the director. ''I didn't think I would end up adapting the [whole] book, but it turned out that way.''

And so out trickled Blood, which hews close to the first 100 pages of Sinclair's book before going its own way as it tracks the relationship between a silver miner-turned-oilman (Daniel Day-Lewis, who was interested after reading only half the script) and his son (Dillion Freasier). Shooting took place last summer in the remote desert terrain of Marfa, Tex., because, as producer Joanne Sellar explains, ''you can't find old California in California anymore.'' An 80-foot oil derrick was built and filled with fake oil that, according to Anderson, includes ''the stuff they put in chocolate milkshakes at McDonald's.'' The director thinks Blood has helped revitalize his creative process. ''I'm writing something new now — and I actually like it,'' he says. Then, with a chuckle: ''I know that will end.''

It still doesn't feel like something he would do. Neither did PDL, I guess.

I wonder if he will find a way to have his "PTA" comedic scenes in this flick. That could ruin it?

what? i thought he was being serious.

i was.

firstly, i love that he's so excited about the prospect of doing something totally different. his enthusiasm rubbed off on me. secondly, there's an article in EW. this movie is now officially real. even after seeing the preview and reading other articles, it never felt like the movie was actually happening (and i didn't really like the trailer, an opinion i kept to myself when you guys were jizzing all over yourselves cuz i knew i'd get flamed). now they're actually making an effort to create a buzz in magazines and shit. a new pta movie is coming out. i almost wasn't really giving a shit until now for some reason.

My apologies then. The comment struck me as very smart-ass. And of course I was eagerly awaiting P's response.


Glad taz is excited about the film.
