Phantom Thread

[Just Withnail]

If the actual title card is something like this, I feel the title might be perfect:

[Drenk]

But he's not Tarantino. He prefers time travel to nostalgia in terms of filmaking. I warmed up to the title; the word phantom is, after all, at the heart of his last movies. Nostalgia lives through the characters. It hurts and haunts.

[velociraptor]

Love the title. I also love "The Master" as a title, though. Yeah, TWBB and PDL are more bombastic, but I don't think that makes them inherently (heeeheheehee) better.

[BigSock]

hopefully trailer within next 2 weeks, I can't wait much longer!

Anyway, those 3hr+ rumors are nothing more than rumors: the film has been locked for a while now, so hopefully we start hearing word about screenings

Hmmm ... it's Monday, prime trailer-posting day. They'd better post a trailer by noon California time or else ... or else ... I will be slightly upset!

[Drenk]

I remember wanting a trailer for Inherent Vice and it was dreadful, but, come on, we don't need it. And I won't watch this one. I don't want to have a peak to the mood/the look/anything. Let's happily wait for what is coming. It is coming.

Yeah, I was being sarcastic (which is why I said, "slightly upset!"), but I guess sarcasm doesn't always come across well on the internet. PTA can take as much time as he wants with a trailer. He could even not release one at all and I'd be fine with that. :P But I do want a peak at the general tone and cinematography. I'm super excited for this one because the photography, direction, and story is ALL PTA. It's not often a film of this budget and quality gets made with all of these things overseen by one person. Plus Daniel Day Lewis .... Anyway, I'm off topic now.

Part of me is really curious to see a trailer, but, yeah....if they didn't release one at all I'd be fine with that.

You would be fine with absolutely no marketing? Hopefully, they release a trailer this week.

From my own personal perspective, yes, I would.  Now, of course they need to market the film, but if I was not allowed to see a trailer, etc, before actually watching the film?  Yeah, that'd be fine.

The marketing writes itself, and barely even has to give us a glimpse of the actual movie. The fact that we're not already seeing DDL's face plastered on every wall in New York and LA means everyone involved in releasing this movie is allergic to both money and Oscars.

[KJ]

Did the inherent vice script leak beforehand? Or is this the first PTA script since PDL that hasn't leaked?

[budwillies]

I don't know if it is official or not but a Twitter page and Facebook page was created for Phantom Thread.  Hopefully, a trailer drops tomorrow
