Phantom Thread

[WorldForgot]

Annapurna is releasing Wonder Woman biopic film on Oct 13th, and Annapurna was involved with this so I'm keeping my eye out for a trailer around then

That would make for a sexy double... Let's hope!

Under the Best supporting actress category, he writes that Manville and Krieps are very good in the film.

Pretty sure we already knew it was Christmas.  Mentioned somewhere in this thread.  A nice little tweet to heighten anticipation.

Yeah, it was announced as a Christmas Day release several months ago.  The title has been in doubt, but not the release date.

I can't wait for a trailer! My hopes are up for a mid or late October trailer release.

P.S. I think the title Phantom Thread is great, and I hope it sticks. I think it's one of the most interesting titles for a film to come along in a while ....

Hopefully the trailer releases next week with the release of the Annapurna-produced wonder woman movie. If it's not next week, then we might have to wait until the snowman, which is universal produced.

Stupid question this maybe, but is it confirmed that Lesley Manville plays the partner of DDL?

I probably won't watch the teaser or any of the trailers, but I'm looking forward to the poster!

And a strictly rumor-level, totally unconfirmed run time:

I think it will be shorter than usual.

It would be nice for at least a still from the movie if we aren't  going to get a trailer anytime soon

I believe this is the blog post that started the 195-minute run time rumor:

http://hollywood-elsewhere.com/2017/10/long-throwing-rumors-around/

But what's interesting is that the first paragraph seems to have been severely edited.     A cached version reveals:

A guy who knows nothing says that the running time on Paul Thomas Anderson‘s Phantom Thread has been hovering around 195 minutes, but that efforts are afoot to whittle it down to 165 or thereabouts. (A Focus Features spokesperson says “the film and runtime are not yet final, but it will definitely be shorter than that!”**) Again, this guy knows nothing — he’s just confiding what a guy he half-trusts has passed along, and that’s all. Not worth depositing. The same guy says that a full-boat trailer for Phantom Thread was recently test-screened or focus-grouped, and that the title given in this trailer was The Phantom Thread, which of course sounds godawful. I can’t emphasize how much I hate the unnecessary use of “the” in any context or capacity. I don’t even like the “the” in “the end” — I prefer “finis.”

I had an interesting conversation this evening (via Twitter) with someone who's seen a "market tested trailer" (not exactly sure what that is) of The Phantom Thread.  (Perhaps he meant a "marketing test trailer" or "test marketing trailer"?
