A highly anticipated Paul Thomas Anderson movie is in the pipeline, notable for being one of his most costly ventures to date. As reported by Variety, the film has garnered the talents of Oscar laureates Leonardo DiCaprio and Sean Penn. They are set to star alongside Regina Hall, with Warner Bros. taking on the production mantle.
The casting of DiCaprio and Penn had been a topic of speculation until recently confirmed. The shooting is scheduled to commence this month in California, a familiar backdrop for Anderson's works. Details about the film are sparse, but it is known to be set in contemporary times. Warner Bros. initially sought to keep its production role clandestine, underscoring the project's secretive nature. Budget estimates for the film are hovering around an impressive $100 million USD.
Anderson, famed for masterpieces like "Phantom Thread" and "Boogie Nights," is a frequent Oscars contender celebrated for his directorial prowess. Despite his acclaim, his films often shy away from blockbuster commercial success. For instance, "Licorice Pizza" struggled financially, failing to recover its $40 million USD budget. By roping in big names like DiCaprio and Penn, Anderson aims to enhance the film's appeal and draw larger audiences.
As of now, the film's plot and release date remain undisclosed. More details are expected to be unveiled soon.
