Detail director Paul Thomas Anderson has released an article stating that he will be working on his 6th feature film. Anderson, whose past films include Sydney, Boogie Nights, Magnolia, Punch-Drunk Love and the most recent There Will Be Blood, has informed the media that his new plot line will feature a man (played by Phillip Seymour Hoffman) that has created his own cult-like religion.
In his past work, his main characters usually start on a good note but slowly self-destruct throughout the film, a trait that many directors have used to create more of an 'un-hollywood' appeal (i.e Sir Martin Scorsese the great and creator of geniusness). I would strongly recommend that you take that statement as a warning before entering the movie theatre to see this film, or any of his work for that matter. I have met many people who have hated all of his films for that reason, the crossing of the fingers for a happy ending. I, myself, find those types of films to be very lame and predictable. To leave an ending ambiguous and questionable gives people something to think and talk about. Even if you dislike it because it doesn't have closure or make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside, it allows each person to interpret their own messages from the film, and to me that is quality.
Paul Thomas Anderson pays an immense amount of attention to the detail of his work. He gives his films a distinct atmosphere by using all aspects of film; cinematography, sound, score, script, casting... you get the idea. Apparently PTA watched The Treasure Of Sierra Leone every night before filming There Will Be Blood, thus showing what distant measures he took to create an over powering and realistic environment. Anyway, I think I'm talking too much and you're probably getting bored of this, but my point is, this should be a kick ass movie and I say you should be stoked about it and if you disagree with me then go see Twilight you piece of work...yeah I said it...shazam...also if you are desperately in need of a good movie, check this list that imdb.com put up, and if you've seen all those then try here.
p.s. you're spoiled.
