Around 5:37, he describes the other script he'd been working on as "kind of bleak".

Interesting to see if he will come back to it now, some time in the future or completely abandon it.

Why some of you want to see him doing contemporary? Modern America just looks aesthetically awful after all the gentrification, and the fact that 99% of the tv shows and movies are set there--the "magic" and the mood of it has completely died down.

It seems like he put it aside because of how bleak the world has gotten. Things have only gotten scarier so who knows what he'll do next

I'm not itching for contemporary but there's obviously a lot that can be done to make modern settings look aesthetic. The Daydreaming video, anima, punch drunk love all have modern settings and manage to look fantastic.

If anything I'm REALLY itching for that 1600 ghost story. or anything many hundreds of years in the past for that matter.

Just read my first Chester Himes novel – A Rage in Harlem – and I know that PTA has previously mentioned him as one of his favourite authors. I know there are already a few straight adaptations of Himes' work, but I could definitely see Anderson channelling some of the writer's spirit and imaginative world in the project that he ends up doing with Washington.

Based on the photos of who he was hobnobbing with at today's Oscar luncheon, PTA's next film will star Denzel Washington and Andrew Garfield.  :shock:

Part of me wants to see PTA do a Joseph Losey and start roaming around Europe and other parts of the world making weird movies in different languages with an international cast of actors. I could see Isabelle Huppert or Franz Rogowski in a PTA movie, for example.

And so the agony of waiting for announcements begins again.

Not really, I'm playing Elden Ring.  :yabbse-grin:

I do want to open another thread because this title is awful and, I believe, has been created by a member now banned from the website—let's not doom Untitled Paul Thomas Anderson (2024) with bad vibes.
Ascension.

We could keep this one for speculations/daydreaming, and create a new one when it's officially announced.

I'm hoping he's pretty far along in the next project since it's been reported now multiple times that he was working in something else when Licorice Pizza took over him. Maybe it will only be a 2 year wait like The Master to Inherent Vice.


Yes

Time of announcement:
Licorice Pizza- Nov 12th, 2019 (Phantom Thread released Christmas 2017)
Phantom Thread- June 2nd, 2016 (Inherent Vice released December 2014)
The Master- Dec 2nd, 2009 (There Will Be Blood released December 2007)*Master released September 2012*

(Inherent Vice was revealed very early before Master even happened, so neglected to include that announcement)

So history says announcement October-November 2023 and a 2024 release date. (Since he repeatedly mentioned he was far along on another project before shifting gears to LP, hopefully fall 2022, this year we get word. And then a 2023 release date)

With the confirmation that Sandler is reuniting with the Safdie's for their next film, I am once again itching for PTA and Sandler to reunite.
