With the release of the new trailer today, I figured it was finally time for an official thread. From writer/director Paul Thomas Anderson (Boogie Nights, Magnolia, There Will Be Blood, The Master), working with his highest budget yet, one of biggest stars on the planet, and in IMAX no less. I cannot wait for this...

Penn's glee at playing a villain named Steven Lockjaw seems too on the nose, but I haven't read Pynchon's book so I don't know if it's supposed to come across with the same fervor of Baldwin doing Trump or something more light spirited.

Still, looks fun.

Chase Infiniti is a helluva name.

I'll see this in the theater based on faith, but the trailers surprisingly haven't done much for me

I liked the first one but the newest one (third in the OP) makes it seem like it's more of an action movie

Maybe they decided to try to reach a bigger audience

Yeah the first thirty seconds of the trailer, great.
The rest, not so much.

Man, surprising because the trailers have honestly done absolutely nothing for me. (And I'm a guy who basically watches any DiCaprio movie automatically.)

But good to hear.

I'm looking forward to this, but father/daughter, stoner, crime thriller does sound like it will NOT be for the general audience. So time will tell how it does. But I'm all in on PTA, all the time.

Random sidenote, does Leo have the best director resume of any working actor today?

The dude has literally worked with every single A-list, big name director out there. (Except for Villenueve and Wes Anderson I think?)

We're talking Scorsese, Spielberg, Nolan, Tarantino, Cameron, Boyle, and now PTA.

I would say so. Cruise and Hanks are in the conversation as well.

"Blisteringly efficacious"

That critic is trying way too hard.

Half of these guys are trying to get quoted in the marketing materials (literally), so I usually just ignore the language and look at the overall consensus of opinion.

Well, I laughed out loud and won't forget that word combination. Even worse, I'll probably use it as an inside joke.....to myself.

Reminds me of an old favorite phrase I saw in a house listing, realtor said the floorplan was "deceptively efficient".

Thank you. I never considered some of these could be just to get their NiL out there. Makes total sense

Are we entering "Oscar, give it to'em" territory?
