I want it to be Vineland.

Insane to name "Unforgiven" and leave like that. Please give us some or any crumbs sir!

Leo's character has a daughter. I will tell the actor's name when I can. No one on anyone's radar. New person.

More soon.

Great. Anything else can you share (can you drop any hints about other cast members besides DiCaprio/Penn/Hall, who's editing, any story/script details)? This is the project that you talked about before he switched gears and did Licorice Pizza, correct?

Believe so, yes.

Is his character's name Zoyd? Should we follow the money too?

Is it possible that maybe one of his daughters will be playing the daughter in the film?

Unforgiven? Rad. I'm guessing this is the 'bleak' project he mentioned he was working on prior to switching to Licorice Pizza. Hyped!

that casting call for the martial arts teenage girl doesn't make it sound very "bleak"

I mean, obviously I don't know any more than the next guy, but if the Unforgiven intel is correct then that doesn't seem like a movie you screen for your cast and crew if you're making a comedy...

Brock Vond, the main villain in Pynchon's novel (supposedly played by Sean Penn), is a cruel federal prosecutor "using his authority to harass anyone with whom he disagrees".
I could see Gene Jackman's evil sheriff as a potential inspiration for Penn's approach to the character.

Are there any other 'name' actors in it who've been cast but not announced to the press? Not looking for you to identify them, just wondering if you can confirm whether there are any other big or biggish names?

Didn't you say back in 2019 that his next film would be contemporary?

His real life daughter does not play the daughter, to my knowledge this person is an unknown (I know her name but shouldn't say it yet). No other big names to my knowledge, but intel could change when they change locations.

Who was supposed to play Leo character when it was supposed to shoot during Fall '19?

Thegreatrupert · January 29, 2024, 01:42:28 PM

Would just be speculation to say, and I'm not even sure it's the same thing. If it is it is highly likely it has changed significantly. He got rid of everyone who shot the past bunch with him except for his PD. Everything I've been made privy to makes it sound much more action/adventure oriented than his typical thing.

Thegreatrupert · January 29, 2024, 01:48:57 PM

As far as the Vineland thing goes, Inherent Vice is probably my favorite of his. That said, ain't nobody giving him this kind of budget to do another Pynchon. I wouldn't hold out much hope for that one at any point.

Does that mean he isn't working with Michael Bauman and co on this one?
