Phantom Thread

He replied in the thread:

"It was Phantom Thread, as has been previously mentioned. No change there. There isn't much I can say about it. It didn't give much of a sense of plot but did have almost the tone of a thriller to it, a bit of a departure from PTA's normal vibe. I didn't know I was about to watch it when I did and it was quite late, so I'm having trouble remembering anything else specific."

Yep. That's another "insider" on Reddit.

this is it:

you can click her name and see her posts. there's actually no reason not to believe her. survey people are always random and barely remember anything. i mean there's no reason to believe her either. but like i said.

[budwillies]

The guy dmed me and said that he definitely saw it.

[BigSock]

I still don't believe this because of the lack of detail, but hopefully we get the official news soon

[polkablues]

I'm inclined to believe it on the basis that if she were making it up, she would have thrown in more details to sell the lie. "I saw it, but I dunno, it was kind of thrillery, I guess, I don't really remember," is a terrible lie, but an utterly believable truth.

her update

Again, it was late at night and I didn't know it was about to happen. I was just told to watch a trailer. I didn't even know it was for Phantom Thread at first. And not much happened. What kind of details do you want exactly?? A second by second description? It was DDL and he was measuring things and there was a voiceover and ominous music. You know. A trailer.

[BigSock]

Biggest reason I'm dubious outside of lack of details, is that all the rumors state this is PTA doing Mike Leigh, so I'm anticipating more intimate footage

Alright, I know how bad this looks, being a first time poster posting SPOILER details, but I can tell you that DDL's character is named Reynolds Woodcock(classic Paul), the film is mostly about an artist and his muse and it has a "Gothic, moody" vibe. Based on what I know, this reddit poster may be telling the truth.

[Drenk]

Ok. I can imagine PTA giggling while writing Woodcock and deciding to keep it.

This was my response as well, haha.

I don't want to violate my NDA, but I can also tell you the film is locked and everything we've seen does have THE PHANTOM THREAD label on it.

Any word on a possible trailer release? And where did you hear this from?

Looks like the trailer will drop next month and I legally can't really say anything about how I know this, which sounds like a cop out. Completely understandable to question my posts. I take no offense.

PTA doing Leigh?  So there.  There anyway.  Day-Lewis as Thewlis?  Yes, please!  Kinda rolls off your tongue.

Can you confirm (or deny) this rumoured plot:
Spoilers- DDL plays a pretty misogynist fashion designer who meets a young model, falls in love, and she hooks him onto drugs and they develop some sort of master-slave relationship, with him as the submissive.
