If like me you were baffled by Paul Thomas Anderson’s frustrating, pervy and rudderless THE MASTER, you’ll be pleased to see things look a lot more promising for follow up project INHERENT VICE. Reuniting him with leading man Joaquin Phoenix and his WALK THE LINE co-star Reese Witherspoon, the movie comes across as PTA’s take on THE BIG LEBOWSKI. See what you think by checking out the debut trailer below:
Based on Thomas Pynchon’s novel, the cast also features Owen Wilson, Josh Brolin, Benicio Del Toro, Katherine Waterston, Jena Malone, Martin Short and Eric Roberts. Get that for eclectic. This is the first time that Pynchon has been adapted for the big screen and if any director can manage it, it’s Anderson. The 1970s setting was handled to a tee by the versatile helmer in BOOGIE NIGHTS, though I haven’t seen quite this level of comedy from him before.
Produced by Ghoulardi Film Company and released by Warner Bros, the film hits cinemas in December.
