Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another Test Screens, Confirmed to Be Modern Update on Vineland

“I need to start figuring out what the f— to say,” Paul Thomas Anderson recently said when it came to his biggest project yet, a $115 million Warner Bros. summer tentpole with a cast featuring Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Penn, Regina Hall, Teyana Taylor, Wood Harris, Alana Haim, Benicio del Toro...

This is, more or less, Anderson’s take on “Vineland,” but in the most mainstream way imaginable. The story is taken straight out of Thomas Pynchon’s novel, although the character’s names have been changed, and there are enough differences for the film to firmly stand on its own.

According to one source, the best way to describe “One Battle After Another” is as a “big action comedy,” and one can very much witness Jonathan Demme’s influence, especially his great 1988 film “Something Wild,” which itself was a hybrid of action and very dark humor. Anderson’s films seems to have taken Demme’s template, and blown it up into a 3-hour epic.

The piece also confirms my previous reporting that PTA’s film has “some sci-fi elements” and is inspired by both Demme’s “Something Wild” and Alex Cox’s “Repo Man.”

Yeah we might have a classic on our hands

Looks great, I'm in. Big Inherent Vice vibes but that makes sense if this is loosely based on/or is a homage to a Pynchon novel.

Is Vistavision back? It does look great, first day watch.
