Paul Thomas Anderson is back

  • english

5 long years after Punch Drunk Love, Paul Thomas Anderson (Boogie Nights, Magnolia) is finally coming back with a new movie: There Will Be Blood, set to release at the end of the year in the US. No hit date for Europe yet.

A sprawling epic about family, greed, corruption, and the pursuit of the American dream. Set in the booming West coast oil fields at the turn of the 20th century, “There Will Be Blood” follows the rise of rugged prospector Daniel Plainview (Day-Lewis) who becomes an independent oilman after hitting it rich with the strike of a lifetime. Written and directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, the film is inspired by Upton Sinclair’s novel “Oil!”

The other good news is that Radiohead guitarist Jonny Greenwood wrote original material for the soundtrack. He already did wonders with the great, challenging Bodysongs (Parlophone, 2003).

Nice nice nice!
