Paul Thomas Anderson ‘There Will Be Blood’

I was just wondering when the next PT Anderson film would surface. I’d actually heard nothing about this prior, so this trailer is pretty exciting. Appears to be a typically brilliant Anderson piece, with perhaps more mind paid to cinematically stunning camera work. The film is based on an Upton Sinclair novel, and is a turn-of-the-century tale about oil, greed, faith and family.

By that I mean he’s hot).

Thanks for the heads up, Michael.

As long as Adam Sandler is nowhere near it I’ll be happy.
