First Look At Martin Short in Inherent Vice, More Set Photos Arrive

Hiya-

Short but great little burst of an update for you all today. As the production got underway in Pasadena yesterday, some very fun new photos were snapped showing Doc Sportello in different threads than the other set of photos that leaked recently, as well as (and perhaps more excitingly) a first peek at what Martin Short will look like in the film. Once again, if you feel the photos might spoil anything for you, we'll drop 'em after the jump for ya.

 Have a groovy weekend everybody!

Stay tuned to Twitter and Facebook for the latest news and updates.
"The Master" is now available on Blu-ray and DVD

    1. Jeff Sneider (who has been dead-on about everything regarding the film) said he heard Short is playing a dentist. So that means Rudy Blatnoyd.

    2. Ty! Correct. ... great moment in the car... big scene. Japonica amorcito las luces! Japonicaaaa the lights!! (This sentences are mine, no are in the book). From Langreo, Spain, Alejandro

    3. If that car they're getting into in the 4th pic down is a beige Mercedes 10 years older than the era in which this takes place, which it looks to be, then Short is definitely Dr. Blatnoyd. He's wearing the "suit in a deep, nearly ultraviolet shade of velvet"

  3. Could that last photo be a blonde Katherine Waterston?

    1. The odds are against it - - - she doesn't show up very often in the book and wouldn't be near the car with Doc and Dr. Blatnoyd.

    2. Much better chance that is a blonde Jena Malone (Japonica) since these were from the part of the story with Blatnoyd (Short).

    1. Bryan- Do we have any idea who that actress might be?

    2. Ty!

      If Katherine Waterston is playing Shashta Fay, then what role will Reese Witherspoon will play?

      One more: D'you think Johnny Greenwood will compose the score for the movie? I am asking because Radiohead will begin to start work on their new album by September this year. So, Johnny might be busy with the band's work.

  6. Don't believe it's any of the actresses that have been formally announced. She does look familiar though, no?

    1. In the novel this is the car in which Doc, Blatnoyd, Denis and Japonica drive in: http://www.packautomotivemuseum.com/Images/60mercedes220s.jpg

      Short is Blatnoyd( " Dr. Blatnoyd came in wearing a suit in a deep, nearly ultraviolet shade of velvet ") the girl in that shot has to be Japonica Fenway.

    2. Plus here are various other photographs from the same set http://www.joaquinphoenixdarkroom.com/thumbnails.php?album=772

    3. Which would mean Jena Malone is not Japonica.

      Delete
    4. How do you know that is not Malone?

  7. Who's the second guy from the left? If he's an actor, he's playing Denis.

  8. If you go to www.newscom.com and search "inherent vice" you can see a bunch more pics from the earlier shoot day. A lot more of Maya Rudolph and some of the Jade character who shows up a lot in the book.

    1. That's an exciting thought!
      Though I don't think this film needs a narrator.

      Delete
    2. Dear gentleman or lady or cat or spirit soda... one narrator?one? I think in TWO narrators! You must remember... in this book/movie/dream... it's full of weed and funny toxics, and smog... Craziness!

      Delete
    3. If they do need a narrator I hope they get Ricky Jay

      Delete
  11. maybe thomas pynchon will do the narration of the film? idk just a thought

    ReplyDelete

    1. Very ok. Great idea! BIG! My idea is: TP open and close the film, two flashfoward, with only voice of course. Rest of narration: Joaquin Phoenix.

  12. so what are the names of the actors playing dennis and japonica?
    more important i can't wait to find out who is going to be mickey wolfmann(my personal choice would be jack nicholson just because i dont want his last movie to be that 2010 shit)

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Nicholson has retired. And Mickey Wolfmann hardly appears in the movie outside of photographs and very brief glimpses, unless they decide to do flashbacks.

      Delete
    2. he never said that he has retired but i don't think jack would agree to do a role with only a scene or two...but who knows

      Delete
    3. well if he is half-retired, then a small part like that would be perfect, wouldn't it?

      Delete
  13. Are those Denis/Japonica for sure? I would have anticipated a name-actor of some standing for his part... Also I thought Malone was locked.

    1. As stated earlier in the comments, the part of Denis is being played by Jordan Christian Hearn. A newcomer, but apparently PTA liked what he saw in the auditions.

      Delete
  14. Also it looks as though it may possibly be Sasha Pieterse in the role of Japonica (if that is who that is). http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1199888/

  17. I saw PTA in some of those shots with his back to the camera.
    Does he have a lucky directing shirt or something.
    He's dressed exactly the same as in The Master set photos.

    1. Oh my that is so true, Joaquin often were's the same thing, they have that in common, I thought they were going to put a blonde wig on Joaquin.

  18. :))let's just start a petition for jack nicholson to be in this movie...by the way is this just a fanboy wish or an actual rumor?

    ReplyDelete

    1. It's not even a rumor. There is zero chance that he will be in the movie.

      Delete
    2. Does anyone know what happened a couple years ago when it was rumored that PTA was going to direct Jack Nicholson in a movie called Power Play about the manager of an indian casino going to Las Vegas?
