March 26Mar 26 PTA’s ‘One Battle After Another’ is Now 20 Minutes Shorter I’ve been hearing about a very rowdy reception for Paul Thomas Anderson’s “One Battle After Another” which test screened last night in Dallas. Of course, take it all with a pinch of salt since the hype of seeing such a buzzed film in advance can meddle with perception. With that said, I have yet to speak with someone who hasn’t had a positive take on this film, but it should be mentioned that a few attendees I've spoken to believe it to be Anderson’s weakest film, and the majority keep mentioning how it’s his most commercial effort. The film was test-screened on Sunday and Tuesday. This means it's tested five times in the last six weeks. However, if that first screening, which took place in Phoenix had a cut clocking it at close to 2 hours 50 minutes, it sounds like PTA has edited the film down to 2 hours 30 minutes. ‘Battle’ is being described as PTA’s “most overtly comedic film since Boogie Nights.” Politically, it’s much more “mild” than first reported, although the film does tackle white supremacy and left-wing rebels. Other than that, I'm hearing the same details as with the other screenings. It’s PTA’s “most commercial” film and features a great car chase scene. Sean Penn’s villain is “wild, and darkly funny.” Penn plays Col. Steven J. Lockjaw and he’s a “white supremacist” who somehow had an affair with Teyana Taylor’s character. She ends up leaving him, taking up with Leonardo Dicaprio’s “Bob” and that’s when Lockjaw tries tracking both of them down. It’s an epic chase movie, but despite its dark themes, is very funny, and filled with comedic elements, including slapstick. “One Battle After Another” was recently delayed to September 26 release date. Will it premiere in Venice? Nobody knows. Maybe Warner Bros is too concerned about going back to that festival after the crushing reception “Joker: Folie a Deux” received. The film stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Regina Hall, Sean Penn, Alana Haim, Teyana Taylor, Chase Infiniti, Wood Harris and Shayna McHayle aka Junglepussy.

March 28Mar 28 Love the OBAA trailer!!!! Disney Near Deal For Hawaii-Set Crime Pic With Scorsese, Dwayne Johnson, DiCaprio & Emily Blunt: The Dish EXCLUSIVE: One of the biggest pic packages is about to land at Disney, Deadline hears. This is the pitch for a Martin Scorsese-directed drama that would star Dwayne Johnson, Leonardo DiCaprio and Emily Blunt. The thumbnail description: Imagine Robert De Niro’s Jimmy the Gent character from Goodfellas but as a ruthless Hawaiian crime boss, also based on a real figure, who battled encroaching rivals for control of organized crime on the islands. Deadline broke the project in February. It is a pricey package given the local and above-the-line star power, and numerous distributors were bidding. This being a decidedly adult film, it fits nicely under the 20th Century banner, home to upcoming films including Deliver Me From Nowhere, the Scott Cooper-directed drama about the existential crisis that led Bruce Springsteen to hole up in a room and generate his seminal Nebraska album. The Bear‘s Jeremy Allen White plays The Boss, and Jeremy Strong plays his longtime manager Jon Landau. The pitch, written by Nick Bilton, focuses on a turbulent time on the island paradise when the aspiring mob boss battled elements like triads and U.S. military to wrest control. It was a bloody battle. The character is based on Wilford “Nappy” Pulawa, who led the largest organized crime syndicate on the Hawaiian Islands, The Company, in the 1970s. He ruled through a reputation for brutality and murder, terrain Scorsese covered in both Goodfellas and The Departed. The Company’s rackets included gambling, human trafficking, marijuana trafficking and labor corruption. Eventually charged with two murders, Pulawa got 15 years for tax evasion in 1973, and he was released in 1984. In 1975, Nevada barred him for life from entering the state’s casinos. Producers include Scorsese, Johnson, Blunt, DiCaprio, Bilton, Dany Garcia, Lisa Frechette and LBI Entertainment’s Rick Yorn and Chris Donnelly. I’ll relay more when it becomes official. It is a career opportunity for Johnson, and it sounds like David Greenbaum has been the driving force here. He took the reins to be ambitious, and this sure fits that bill. This one fits well under the 20th Century banner under Steve Asbell. Stay tuned.

March 28Mar 28 I'm Confident Leonardo DiCaprio Is Getting Another Oscar Nomination Following One Battle After Another's Trailer https://screenrant.com/oscars-leonardo-dicaprio-nomination-one-battle-after-another-trailer-op-ed/?fbclid=PAY2xjawJUAKhleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABpo3Py5WYWg6a76AG9Pr1V8mZC6mZ9iDNmgLLZik0-KdbERlFPPRf4NrT8A_aem_Q1iSw4DfNsWUBjc05oe_0g

Just because you have a trailer doesn't necessarily mean you also have a finished movie. ‘One Battle After Another’: Warner Bros. and Paul Thomas Anderson “Fighting” Over Final Cut THIS (couldn't agree more) Listen, I don't blame Warners for freaking out over PTA’s very pricey film, they're coming off two consecutive bombs, “Mickey 17” and “Alto Knights,” but when you give an eccentric filmmaker like Anderson $140M to write and direct a Thomas Pynchon adaptation, then you get what you pay for.
March 29Mar 29 Also Laineys movie Sarah having a nice trailer reaction of OBAA. Unhinged Leo There was a moment in the 2010s when Leonardo DiCaprio’s career was consumed by “when will he win his Oscar” talk, and winning for 2015’s The Revenant felt like releasing a pressure valve and we could go back to just enjoying his performances. I hate the phrase “one of our greats” for both its proprietary implication and self-importance but like, Leonardo DiCaprio IS one of our great actors. The guy is rarely in a bad movie and never gives a bad performance—although in grand Oscar tradition, The Revenant isn’t even close to his best work—and he’s got a range big enough that everyone has their “favorite Leo”. My favorite Leo is “unhinged Leo”, the Leo of Gangs of New York and Django Unchained and the second half of The Aviator. The trailer for Leo’s upcoming film with Paul Thomas Anderson, titled One Battle After Another, dropped yesterday and it looks like a top shelf unhinged performance from Leo. He’s got a gross mustache, he’s in a dirty bathrobe, he’s screaming about his daughter and wearing blue blockers, and I am digging every second of it. The film is loosely inspired by Thomas Pynchon’s Vineland, which means it is also PTA returning to his Pynchon hyper-fixation, which previously yielded the vastly underappreciated Inherent Vice. One Battle also stars Teyana Taylor, Regina Hall, Benicio Del Toro, Alana Haim, Chase Infiniti, and Sean Penn. That’s a banger cast, and Teyana Taylor, in particular, looks spectacular in this trailer. The film itself looks great, a given with a filmmaker as meticulous as PTA. He shot the film around California and Texas, including some truly mundane spaces around Sacramento and El Paso, yet he used VistaVision, which offers a higher resolution format for 35-millimeter film. Most people use VistaVision for stuff like sweeping landscapes and highly visual cinema, PTA uses it for supermarkets. The film also continues PTA’s collaboration with Jonny Greenwood, who is scoring the film. The film is set for a September 26 release date, which is, once again, not a confidence builder. Warner Brothers believed in the film enough to give it a $140 million budget—$20 million of which went to Leo—but not enough to give it either a summer release, selling it as counterprogramming to superheroes, or a more sensible fall release date and play up the cinematic matchmaking of PTA and DiCaprio. Instead, they’re being wishy-washy with that September date, reminiscent of how they treated Bong Joon-ho’s Mickey 17. It’s almost like they don’t want these auteur-driven films to succeed…
