Just posted a picture of Poitier playing a doctor in 1950. Played a psychiatrist in 1962 also btw. Not disrespectful. At all. Moving on ......this is what Licorice Pizza made - so if this is PTA's "sci-fi" movie - whether it stars DiCap, or whomever - while his films don't flop - they do tend to have a ceiling (TWBB 76 Million WW) ......so maybe we can assume if it is his sci-fi movie - it will be the biggest budget of his career...... lots of ifs though ........and let's not forget DiCaprio gets linked to stuff that never happens because well, he's the biggest star on the planet......this rumor is just a rumor......
Theatrical Performance
Domestic Box Office $17,318,007
International Box Office $15,582,499
Worldwide Box Office $32,900,506 Licorice Pizza starred two unknown leads, it was never going to make a ton of money. Yes, but that was my exact point wasn't it? - He may be pursuing DCaprio now - even more so than in the past - if he's planning the biggest budgeted movie of his career.........all his movies do have a cap regardless except with DiCaprio he would not......... |

I really don’t think it’s that calculated. There are endless interviews with him over the last 20 years where he goes on about how much he loves Leo and will definitely work with him at some point. It’s always been a when, not if, for them working together. |

Take this with a BIG grain of salt, but here's the RUMOR I couldn't ignore: Paul Thomas Anderson is currently searching for an actress to play... MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE???
He also said his source was credible, but huh? Also idk if anyone has noticed this, took me two seconds on the googs -- I haven't read it but in Bleeding Edge (Thomas Pynchon) apparently the main character's kids take martial arts classes throughout? That'd be the ding-ding-ding.
Maybe a modern version of the book? Or are these casting notices merely lies!

I'd be very surprised if PTA decided to adapt Pynchon again, only for it to be Bleeding Edge. |

Bleeding Edge is utterly dominated by a middle-aged mom character, like a Rachel Weisz 10 years ago.

I think the most interesting thing about this is whether it will be a major film or if he has many major films left in him - I liked Licorice Pizza (in my top 10) but it was a minor film for him....was that a diversion or are diversions like that and Inherent Vice the new normal for PTA......
He's never been a political or even a particularly topical filmmaker - yes a political figure appears in LP but not in a way that it is the topic.......and given his sometimes weaknesses as a writer (he struggles to stick landings imo) he really should be because topical / current event films sometimes write the endings FOR you (Field, Tar).......
Interesting that this has gone from a jazz gangster movie, to a movie with his daughter, to a sci-fi movie, to God knows what......he must be laughing his ass off......

I would cast Amy Ryan as Majorie. OR... Patricia Arquette.

The rumored subject matter is... interesting, but a PTA/Leo collaboration has always felt inevitable.

If DiCaprio and Phoenix are in this movie - then that settles the "it's like DePac in Heat" thing which has been said for almost 30 years ......and gets talked about constantly ....

One of the many heartbreaking things about Ledger's young passing is we never got to see a Ledger and Gosling team-up. I think they were the "DePacs" of their generation, just like Joaq/Leo are of theirs. But after all these years, a team-up between the latter would be faaar more epic and iconic. And with PTA directing? *Chef's Kiss" 😍 Maybe this will do what BOOGIE NIGHTS, MAGNOLIA, and LICORICE PIZZA should have already done. Get PTA that (or those) motherfucking 1st Oscars that should really be like his 7th or 8th at this point. Greatest filmmaker of his generation (QT close second). |

DiCaprio, Phoenix, and Mortensen?
This is more anticipated than the Tarantino one now.

* I'm actually saying from an acting standpoint it's rather historic and PTA is - on some level at least - a historic director of actors or of casting actors anyway - and this is aside from his DDL resume - love him or hate him this is 3 of the most acclaimed and nominated actors of the last 15 years:
* He's gotten the 2 best film actors of their generation (DiCap / Phoenix) at a peak - as Mann did in Heat - and no one has replicated since in the same way of career arc - and which when it had been done prior had the actors limited in some way by the film or their interaction (Brando / Clift in The Young Lions etc).
* I'm going to say he went after a 3rd best of generation (arguably) - for this same movie - given his much publicized meetings with Washington - who either told PTA "No, I'm not playing 2nd fiddle to DiCap" (he never will do that btw) or told him "we'll just do something else that focuses on just me next time" (that's a thing for him and PTA might do that - see my earlier posts in this thread).........I say that because 65 year old Viggo is not that far removed from whatever part you could tweek for 70 year old Washington - and make it color blind
On the other hand maybe Washington could be in the Tarantino - which is not impossible given Washington's wide open schedule......hmmmmmm

Love Viggo so getting him on top of Leo/Phoenix is just fantastic.
