Benicio Del Toro Also Appearing in BC Project, Apparently


An interesting tidbit tucked into the bottom of a wholly unrelated Hollywood Reporter story this morning indicates that Paul Thomas Anderson will be reuniting with Inherent Vice collaborator (and fucking brilliant actor) Benicio del Toro on the new untitled flick that is set for release next summer.

Images surfaced recently showing that the movie was still filming in southern California (remember, it started in late January!) and we speculated that that meant the movie was roughly now in the wheelhouse of time it took for principal photography to be completed for Magnolia.

So this would seem to be PTA's longest shoot in quite some time and, notably, THR says Del Toro will need to wrap up the other Anderson's new movie before joining BC Project.

So, assuming the production is not in reshoots, this could well end up being the biggest shoot of PTA's career.

Hard not to let one's imagination run away with itself when one considers what the size of this production will yield for audiences next year...
