    Paul Thomas Anderson's Next Film is Set in 1984 California

    ABC10 journalist Mark S. Allen seems to know what Paul Thomas Anderson’s latest film is about, but he’s not dishing all the details out of respect for the cast and crew. However, he does divulge some interesting details …

    In the video, Allen says the film takes place in Reagan-era 1984 and is being shot in some of the same places the former president inhabited during his time in Sacramento. So, it’s no coincidence that’s it’s being shot in Sacramento. He also says he believes the film will be released during the first quarter of 2025.

    I have been theorizing, since March of 2023, that Anderson’s next film will be an adaptation of Thomas Pynchon’s 1990 novel “Vineland.” Allen’s intel, again, matches the rumors. Reagan, although not a central character in “Vineland,” looms large, all over Pynchon’s novel.

    Here’s the synopsis for “Vineland”:

    A group of Americans in Northern California in 1984 are struggling with the consequences of their lives in the sixties, still run by the passions of those times — sexual and political — which have refused to die. Among them is Zoyd Wheeler who is preparing for his annual act of televised insanity (for which he receives a government stipend) when an unwelcome face appears from out of his past.

    Things just seem to be lining up in the direction of a Pynchon adaptation. There is no way to confirm it, and the trades would have already done that by now if they knew, but, at the very least, PTA’s latest must be partly inspired by the novel. They are filming at the same locations where “Vineland” takes place, and Leonardo DiCaprio has the same exact look as the character he’s supposed to be playing in the book, Zoyd Wheeler. Also, Wheeler’s daughter closely resembles actress Chase Infiniti who has been seen on-set with DiCaprio.

    Oh, and on page 8 of “Vineland,” Zoyd says, "You called me, remember?" — in an on-set video taken by a fan, DiCaprio says practically the same line at the phone booth outside the grocery store.

    It also looks as though the project is being shot, on film, spherically in a 1.85:1 aspect ratio by DP Michael Bauman. As we’ve seen from the leaked BTS footage, PTA’s latest has a lot of car chases, helicopters, police vehicles — the budget is said to be $115 million. With the already mentioned DiCaprio and Infiniti, some of the other actors taking part in the film include Sean Penn, Alan Haim and Teyana Taylor.

    Oh, hence we have an explanation for the man bun 🤭. So the movie is set in 1984? Interesting...judging by their outfit in those pics, I thought it was set in recent times. I guess I'm confused now.🤣

    Someone was listening LOL

    Also call me wrong but Leo hated it when he became a massive movie star aka the Leo mania. It's also a fact Leo mania happened because of Leos look mainly and not his talent in the first place and don't try to tell me otherwise 😄 He just happened to be talented too and this is why his career survived the Titanic/Jack Dawson phenomen and can stand by his own but also let's not pretend he isn't where he is today because of this role and movie and also his look even today. So this kind of poster boy fame is actually nothing that much desirable for a young actor. I think the only actor who remotely came close to such hype is Robert Pattinson and he was similar unhappy about it. He also managed having a decent post Twilight career. That being said a long-lasting career is never just about talent otherwise people like Ben Affleck, Jennifer Lopez, Tom Cruise and maybe even Brad Pitt wouldn't have one lol

     

    However I would die if Paul would be cast in THE WAGER next to Leo.

    Well, in my opinion,he is where he is today because of his good looks and talent too (that's for sure!), but there is also another very important thing which maybe only a few stars carry and which make them special let's say, which is charisma.

     

    Let's pretend any other actor would play the role of Jack Dawson instead of Leo, do you think Titanic would have become this massive hit? We will never know for sure, but maybe it wouldn't. So it's not only about good looks and talent, but charisma also plays a very important part here, and that's why we don't see so many young actors achieving that same kind of craze Leo has gone through, even nowadays. On the other hand, that doesn't mean these same actors aren't talented at all, they are. I just think it may take a while till another "Leo" takes Hollywood by storm.

     

    Just my 2 cents 🤣, although I agree with a few points. And Paul Mescal is very good, I do feel like he is next in line 🤭. Let's just see if they can make it through, because it's really not an easy task.

    Esquire about Austins try to be the first movie star since Leo - the last movie star so far. Just posting because it's always nice to see that Leo is still... well... the goal every young actor is reaching for.

    They Don't Make Them Like Austin Butler Anymore

    After Elvis and the Oscar-nomination, the 32-year-old actor is back with two buzzy projects: Masters of the Air and Dune: Part Two. He's got a burning ambition and old-school Hollywood charm—and steely-eyed focus on just one thing.

     

    He will take this world in inches. And then, as a man, through sheer force of desire and artistic abandon, he’ll try to become the first movie star since Leonardo DiCaprio became the last movie star.

    Doubt him if you will. But don’t underestimate his chances.

    (...)

    The thing is, Butler wants to be a particular kind of star. Not just a celebrity. Not just an actor. And he doesn’t want to mess it up. Certainly not by sharing too much. Who he is, to some degree, is at odds with what he wants. That desire to probe and share is diametrically opposed, he says, “with the type of career that I want to have, which is to be able to step into all these different types of people. I think of the days of Paul Newman—we didn’t know a ton about his personal life.” It’s like that with a lot of the stars he admires. Leonardo DiCaprio. Christian Bale. Daniel Day-Lewis.

    “Did we talk about the Lew Wasserman quote?” he asks me the second time we meet. We’re back at Margaux. Different booth. Different lunch order. Avocado toast with poached eggs on Monday; a grilled-chicken sandwich on Wednesday. Butler’s outfit is a perfect inversion of what he wore two days ago: a dark Henley beneath a white T-shirt. Anyway, back to the quote. “Near the end of Wasserman’s life,” Butler begins, referring to the onetime Tinseltown titan, “when speaking about a young actor, Wasserman said, ‘Only let them see him in a dark room.’ ”

    (Funny enough, that quote once ran in these very pages, in Tom Junod’s 2013 profile of DiCaprio. During one passage, DiCaprio’s manager, Rick Yorn, recalls a run-in with Wasserman. “ ‘Lew was old and near the end by this time,’ Yorn says. ‘He died a year or two later. But he knew I was Leo’s manager, and he wanted to give me some advice. He said, “Only let them see him in a dark room.” It took me a minute to figure it out. But what he meant was only let people see him in the movie theater. That’s the dark room.’ ”)

    (...)

    The next Brad Pitt. The next Leonardo DiCaprio. How many young breakouts have been taunted by such titles just to dissolve into the background? Become that guy in that thing. The one who almost was.

    The reality of right now is that whether there will ever be another Brad or Leo is not a question of talent but of the studio system itself. How many of the movies between those two men would even be released in theaters if they were made today? The Beach, The Basketball Diaries, Thelma & Louise—they’d be critically acclaimed streaming releases at best in 2024. Some would become TV shows.

    (...)

    It’s impossible to forecast the future of Hollywood. Will grown-up movies make a comeback? Will Movie Stars continue to exist?

    But I’ll tell you what I do know: From the second that Austin Butler appears as the young-adult Elvis, moments before the first musical performance of the film, bristling with an intoxicating swirl of nerves, excitement, and untapped confidence; from the minute he, as Buck Cleven, leans in, desire written all over his face, a smile flirting with the corners of his mouth, and whispers, “A girl worth writing to is hard to find”—well, there’s no taking your eyes off him.

    Can't believe my eyes after reading this, he is easy on the eye, ok...but... sorry. They tried with Timothee, this Austin guy now, that Jacob Elordi, is Paul Mescal next in line maybe? I am not saying these guys are bad actors at all, Paul Mescal is a very good actor for example, but Leo was just 23 when he became a massive star all over the world. 

     

    He took the world by storm.

     

    Me after reading. I wear specs too.

    As to which character Leo will play 

     

    On the movie forums once the rumors began that Leo was attached most thought he would be police agent Brock Vond who is in pursuit of Zoyd & his daughter 

     

    But with Sean’s casting , I think Leo will be Zoyd Wheeler who has teenage daughter Prairie from when he was married to Frenesi  Gates ( Regina Hall ) . And to complicate matters  Brock will

    , also, have a relationship with Frenesi 

    Hummm...then I think my guesses were wrong. That's fine too, as long as we get the chance to see him on a movie soon again.🤗 Tks dear for the clarification.
