Hmm, "mentioned" not "confirmed"...
And also I've read some Joaquin fans indicating that he's not going to be available in July.

Joaquín's role might be small or even just a one-scene thing, so perhaps he can fit it around whatever else he's doing then?

Although I agree that this list of actors reads suspiciously like some 'dream PTA cast' thread on Twitter and is therefore hard to take seriously.

Just add Robert DeNiro and the list is complete based on rumours over the years.

Right, like Jon Peters role in LP maybe, but I don't know if Joaquin would be interested in small roles? He barely even takes supporting roles now. That's what's skeptical about this casting rumor to me because I don't know if it's possible that either Leo or Joaquin would say yes to anything less than male lead.

Theres people online thinking Charlize Theron is in it now haha

You all understand we won't know for sure who is in this (especially the minor roles) unless we spot them in set photos, right?

Yeah if its anything like the licorice pizza production we will need spies to find stuff out.

Wait, where?   I haven't seen that one anywhere. 

IF Phoenix is just a Bradley Cooper-esque cameo and IF this is inspired by "Vineland" and IF PTA retains the early 1980s setting, is it possible that Phoenix could be reprising Doc Sportello?

Ha! Was thinking about the same thing. There's indeed a few characters from Inherent Vice appearing in Vineland. Would love a Pynchonverse in PTA films.

I mean, if he agreed to play Joker again...

It would be more likely that Phoenix would be playing Zoyd, who is essentially Doc.
Zoyd = Doc, Brock = Bigfoot, Frenesi = Shasta.

The more likely scenario, if any of these rumours are true, is that PTA is borrowing the "14 year Martial Artist" character from Vineland, like he's borrowed other things from Pynchon before.

If this all turns out to be generally true, I'll be psyched about DiCaprio but bummed we're not (yet) getting a collaboration with Denzel Washington. I think he'd be amazing in a PTA script.

Thought for sure we would hear something by now. I'm guessing something will break by the end of April
