Untitled Paul Thomas Anderson (10th feature, TBA)

re: money

If they spend $100m, that means they're on the hook for a big marketing push, which PTA routinely gets the shaft on. So I'm all for it.

And if it doesn't hit, fuck it, we're still getting at least one PTA movie with a proper budget.

Either way, PTA has nine lives, he's gonna keep on cooking no matter what.

so...Prairie?

It may be inspired by Vineland, but I do not believe WB is giving $100 million dollars towards a straight adaptation.

Lol do we still think Rupert has any privileged information after reporting PTA canned his usual crew?

They are not working on the new film. These set pics are for a new Radiohead music video featuring Leonardo DiCaprio ;) lol

From industry insider Daniel Richtman's Patreon page:

Actress Chase Infiniti has been cast as the lead in Paul Thomas Anderson's latest film. I have also confirmed the movie will adapt Thomas Pynchon's novel, Vineland but making it contemporary. The original novel was set in Reagan-era America, so he's updating it to modern US.

So...
Zoyd Wheeler = DiCaprio
Prairie = Chase Infiniti
Brock Vond = Sean Penn
Frenesi Gates = Regina Hall

Will be interesting to see if/how PTA does a backstory for fiftysometing hippie in the year 2024. Growing up as a teen during Reagan's 1980s, rather than being a disillusioned adult hippie living IN Reagan's 1980s.

Are there any other major supporting characters in Vineland? It is one of the Pynchon novels I have not yet read, alas.

Didn't the original Deadline announcement of the film say it had a big ensemble cast? So that must mean we're guaranteed at least a few more familiar faces?

Ok Rupert better give us something serious to discredit this or else PTA is definitely adapting Vineland for contemporary times

DL Chastain (a Kill Bill adjacent) and Hector Zuniga (a DEA agent with a tv addiction) are the juicest supporting roles I can remember

Remember, though, that There Will Be Blood was an adaptation, too.
Maybe PTA has Pynchon's blessing to do whatever he wants this time around, after the faithful adapation of IV.

That's what I'm curious about it. If this is a loose/updated Vineland I wonder when Anderson told him. Also will he cameo like he presumably did in IV. I'm positive he was at the cop pool party that Doc visits.

Buddy, I come here occasionally because I think you all might like drips of what scant info I have. It is not an obligation. Chase was the one I had heard. Don't know anyone else yet. And no it is not Vineland.
