I'm gonna say that this many period pieces in a row disappoints me. I was hoping he would do another present day palate cleanser after all the period stuff. Did I miss something where he said he hates doing those now?

Yeah me too. I love PTA and TWBB is probably the best movie I ever saw but I wish he would do a present time movie, especially after seeing his new Radiohead video, brought some Magnolia memories back.

More DDL + PTA?

Fuck. Yes.

So, Lewis finally returns eh? And with his winning director too. Marvelous.


Well I truly hope he actually gets treated like an Oscar king come his next nomination. Then I can finally see what that actually looks like for the first time ever.


People are such haters nowadays.

Look at this motherfucker, chewing up the scenery.

That's how you know he's not a good actor.

A) Mifune's best roles actually are the ones where he doesn't chew the scenery - High and Low, The Bad Sleep Well, Samurai Rebellion, etc., but B) the movies where Mifune most chewed the scenery were mostly pre-Brando Japanese period pieces where he played thieves and nuts, not literary but nevertheless realistic period dramas where some fidelity to reality is necessary to make the whole thing work. Setting aside how derivative it is, the thing about There Will Be Blood that works less and less the more you watch it is how very, very silly and over-the-top it gets.

And while his Lincoln was "soft-spoken", his performance in that movie was still all surface, no depth. Immaculately-polished surface, unlike, say, Leonardo Dicaprio, who always looks like he's playing dress-up, but still, surface. That's partially the script's fault, because it just sucks, but, y'know, he didn't have to do the movie with that script.

Give as much excuse as you want, I still find it to be bull.

The movie has been greenlit, aiming for a late 2017 release. Focus will be financing this drama set in the fashion world of 1950s to the tune of $35 million budget

I know Daniel Day Lewis only shows up very rarely, but he should totally do a Marvel movie for the hell of it then vanish for another 5 years.

Would love to see him in the MCU or have him do a Taken-esque film just to mess with people's heads.

Excited for this, although PTA has been shit since There Will Be Blood

But you can't go wrong with DDL

Aside from the ending, the Master is one of the best movies of the decade. PTA got amazing performances from every member of that cast.

Holy hyperbole.

Favorite actor, favorite director. Sold!

The performance were top notch agree.

But for some reason the movie put me to sleep. Whereas TWBB has me on the edge of my seat everytime I watch it

Greenwood is scoring it and it will be out this year.

Jonny Greenwood will provide the score for a new Paul Thomas Anderson film, Focus Features has announced. The currently untitled project, which stars Daniel Day-Lewis and Lesley Manville, is due out later this year. Greenwood previously provided the score for three of Anderson’s films: 2007’s There Will Be Blood, 2012’s The Master, and 2014’s Inherent Vice. Anderson directed a documentary on Junun, Greenwood’s album with Shye Ben Tzur, and directed the videos for Radiohead’s A Moon Shaped Pool tracks “Daydreaming,” “Present Tense,” and “The Numbers.”
