Today, Warner Bros. unveiled the official trailer for Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another. The film, a loose adaptation of Thomas Pynchon’s 1990 novel Vineland, stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Teyana Taylor, Regina Hall, Sean Penn, Alana Haim, and Benicio del Toro. The story is expected to intertwine events from 1984 California with flashbacks to the ’60s, though some reports suggest that the film is set in a contemporary setting.
One Battle After Another, which is rumored to have a budget of $140 million, the largest of Anderson’s career, is now scheduled to be released on September 26. (Rumor also has it that Anderson has trimmed the film by 20 minutes following a series of test screenings.) The shift not only signals Warner Bros.’s aim to thrust it into prime position for the awards season but also suggests that a world premiere bow at the Venice Film Festival is all but certain.
