We are here. Here we are. Paul Thomas Anderson's One Battle After Another is now playing in a theatre near you.
Paul & co. have delivered a big one. It deserves to be seen on a big screen. We will be sharing out more in the coming days, but for now, waste no more time and just see the damn thing.
Hello, hello! Paul Thomas Anderson's One Battle After Another is hitting the road two days early! You can see the movie early on September 24 in special 70mm engagements across the country and the world.
This morning, PTA provided a special communique through the film's official social media outlets, regarding the film's use of VistaVision:
So, yes, it's bittersweet that proper formal VistaVision presentation will be in very limited markets, but it also sounds like there isn't a bad apple in the bushel. If you haven't already, you can snag your 9/24 tickets at the official website of the film onebattleafteranothermovie.com
It sure sounds like PTA has stuck a fork in his 10th motion picture, as the MPA has finally, formally given One Battle After Another its anticipated R rating.
The rating is owed to pervasive language, violence, sexual content, and drug use.
Warner Bros also recently released the pair of new posters for the movie shown above.
Somehow we are just t-minus 35 days now, folks. This is really happening!
That means we are that much closer to the world wide release of Paul Thomas Anderson's 10th feature film, One Battle After Another.
Today, PTA & Leonardo DiCaprio inaugurated the press campaign for the film in Esquire with a really cool self-interview, complete with portraits of LDC courtesy of PTA himself.
Read the whole article yourself here -- at your own personal peril of very light spoiler talk, of course,
The film's relationship (or lack thereof) to Thomas Pynchon's Vineland is touched on, as well as a maybe-surprising-ish influence or two on the new movie. The whole thing is interesting, charming, and well worth reading.
If you ventured out to see the new Supes flick from DC in theatres this last week, chances are good you were also treated to a brand new trailer for One Battle After Another from Paul Thomas Anderson - and now it would appear that that trailer has made its way onto the Warner Bros youtube channel, albeit unlisted (?)
For now, it's embedded above for you to see - though I will make a humble plea that it does play well on the big screen, if you should feel like schlepping yourself to your nearest 'plex.
Additionally, WB also recently released a character poster for Chase Infiniti's character in the film...
...and also a smaller new teaser trailer for the film, featuring some new footage mixed in with a fair amount of previously released footage:
Warner Bros announced today that they will release a full trailer for Paul Thomas Anderson's forthcoming One Battle After Another next week - and has dropped a 20-second teaser to entice you.
