Inherent Vice (2014 - Paul Thomas Anderson)

[Tyler_Durden]

Waarschijnlijk gaat de verfilming van dit boek de nieuwe film van PTA worden. En, de film lijkt er sneller dan later te komen:

We just had a great chat with PTA's longtime Producer JoAnne Sellar for the next installment in our "Making The Master" series and while we mostly stayed on topic, we couldn't help but ask about Paul's next project, "Inherent Vice," which seems like it will be getting underway sooner than later. "We're just putting the financing together and the plan is to start shooting in late April," Sellar told us. We asked if that meant casting announcements would be underway shortly, she said "Everything should be [underway] very soon in order to start shooting then: late April/early May kinda thing." And there you have it. This may seem especially quick as "The Master" still hasn't opened in some territories yet but as PTA told us, he's been working on the adaptation since "shortly after the book came out" in 2009. So while we still wouldn't expect the film hitting theatres before mid/late 2014, it's incredibly exciting to see the 7th film by Paul Thomas Anderson is very close to becoming a reality.

Joaquin Phoenix is in talks to reteam with Paul Thomas Anderson for Inherent Vice, the adaptation of the 2009 Thomas Pynchon novel.

Megan Ellison's Annapurna Pictures is financing the movie, which will be produced by Anderson, Ellison, John Lesher and JoAnne Seller.

Anderson wrote the screenplay based on the novel, which is set in 1969-1970 Los Angeles and centers on a pot-smoking detective on a kidnapping case. The book featured a slew of characters with quirky, original names, from Shasta Fay Hepworth and Riggs Warbling to Japonica Fenway and Adrian Prussia.

Anderson has been working on Vice for a few years. The project once had Robert Downey Jr. interested but ultimately he passed.

Warner Bros. Financing ‘Inherent Vice' Which Begins Shooting This Month; Robert Elswit Returning As DP

Warner Bros. Will Be Financing The Film
A few weeks ago The Wrap reporter Jeff Sneider caused a minor stir online when he tweeted that contrary to reports, Annapurna Pictures -- who were the saviors of "The Master" -- were not involved with 'Vice.' Well, this turns out to be completely true as a source close to production has revealed to us that "Inherent Vice" will be financed by Warner Bros. This will mark PTA's first time working with the studio (though they absorbed New Line who produced "Boogie Nights" and "Magnolia"). Our source also told us things were "completely amicable" between Annapurna and PTA and both parties hope to work together again in the future.
Shooting Will Begin This Month
With financing in place, shooting is indeed scheduled to start this month. Though we imagine most of the major roles have been locked down but not announced at this point, we have learned that PTA is still meeting with actors for some of the smaller roles. As with "The Master" cast, expect a flood of announcements to come just prior to shooting. We hear the script is amazing so it should have no problem attracting talent.
Robert Elswit Will Return As Cinematographer
This one is may seem obvious (and we speculated that this would likely be the case) but we can now confirm that cinematographer Robert Elswit -- who shot all of Paul's films except for "The Master" and picked up an Oscar for his work on "There Will Be Blood" -- will return to shoot "Inherent Vice." For those curious, "Inherent Vice" will shoot on 35mm film. (No digital, no 70mm.)
