Writer–director Paul Thomas Anderson is in advanced talks to produce and direct There Will Be Blood, starring Daniel Day-Lewis as a turn-of-the-century Texas oil prospector in the early days of the oil business. The sprawling period piece, which Anderson has spent several years writing, is loosely adapted from Upton Sinclair’s 1927 novel Oil!
pta-at-afi-lunch.jpg Paul Thomas Anderson’s first feature in five years, the extraordinary oil-baron saga “There Will Be Blood,” opened to fantastic results in solo houses in New York and L.A. last weekend. The exclusive runs at New York’s Loews Lincoln Square and Hollywood’s Arclight led to the biggest per-theatre average of the year - $92,763. Moviegoers were likely reminded of the Brokeback Mountain limited release mob scene from a couple years ago. In any case, I’ll never let go Jack.
How novel is the idea that Paul Thomas Anderson, who is currently rolling in the glory of “There Will Be Blood’s” multiple Oscar nominations, might be contemplating a horror film as his next movie? Well that’s the rumor coming out of Bloody-Disgusting, who got wind of the notion from a “well-trusted insider”, so you know it must be true. Right?
Paul Thomas Anderson's funeral was attended by notable porn stars Amber Waves and Dirk Diggler. Punch-Drunk Love was released posthumously in 2002. A new film, There Will Be Blood is to be released in December of 2007, under Anderson's name. It is believed... to truly be a work of Alfred Hitchcock, as a guilt offering to the deceased Anderson for ruining his dream of directing the Psycho remake.
