Licorice Pizza - Speculation & General Reactions

Hey Wilber, you are the defacto expert around here so I'm certainly not going to step on your toes.

Just remember Alana saying at a presser that she had to drive Cooper around because he wasn't old enough to drive (or possibly didn't have a permit -- although I'm pretty sure it was the former).

You might be right about TWBB as Boxofficemojo says the same. Not sure where I heard the 70m mark but --- wow that's even more impressive and samesies with Paul Dano being casted twice.

Bauman is a life long Gaffer / Chief Electrician. Below the line. He faught and deserved the DP credit, but I almost guarantee he does not come at the price tag of AA winning Elswitt. Elswitt is and was in a league of his own, up there with the Chivo's, Deakin's, Richardsons and so forth. Paul most likely didn't get paid extra as a DP since he is not unionized or ASC. All his major money is backend, although I'm sure he made a cool 5-6-7million (maybe more) for Writing/Directing/Producing upfront -- although I have no confirmation on this.

Yeah, I never saw Cooper drive himself anywhere--with the exception of what occurs in the film. He also was probably a resident of the state of NY at the time and likely wouldn't have been CA-legal.

Also....when did Pauls film stop being a 'PT Anderson Picture'? Punch Drunk Love didn't have any opening credits I dont remember. Just a thought after seeing the opening credits of LP.

I think it grossed about 70 mill, if that's what you're thinking of...

A PT Anderson Picture appears in the end credits of PDL, but I believe that was the last time.
