Video from Set of Inherent Vice Unearthed (UPDATE)



TERRIBLE music aside, An updated version of the cool little video from the Inherent Vice set has just popped up on youtube, allowing us our first glimpse of Doc Sportello in motion. The music has been swiped, and it's over two full minutes longer than the version that dropped a few days ago. These changes mean that you can faintly hear Paul calling "cut" at the beginning of the clip, see him directing a bit more clearly around the 1:20 mark, and actually watch a take happen (from afar - no spoilers) towards the end of the thing, not to mention all the other fun stuff we saw in the earlier version, like Joaquin interacting with Jordan Christian Hearn, who will be playing Denis in the film, and, most amusingly, his cigarette-henchman at 0:55. Have a peek!

Our There Will Be Blood screening contest is now closed, and the winners have been emailed. Thank you to everyone who entered and maybe we can set up more things like this in the future.

PTA-Directed Music Video For Fiona Apple's "Hot Knife" Surfaces


And just like that, not even an entire month after we themed a flashback friday after his work in this area, Paul Thomas Anderson has dropped a new music video. It's for "Hot Knife," the last track off Fiona Apple's latest (and quite excellent) effort The Idler Wheel Is Wiser Than The Driver of the Screw And Whipping Cords Will Serve You More Than Ropes Will Ever Do.

We remember hearing whispers about this back in June of last year, but figured maybe it was kaputt, at least while PTA was finishing up The Master. But here it is, and it is pretty stunning. Watch, watch, watch!

We know, we know, things have been very quiet with Inherent Vice as of late, but you'll just have to hang in there and keep checking in because you never know when the next big thing is going to drop...

FBF: Watch Footage From the Set of Boogie Nights


Thanks to a laser-eyed reader, we have a very, very cool Flashback Friday for you today. Some footage was spat out onto youtube yesterday which shows PTA, his cast, and his crew in action on the set of Boogie Nights back in '96. The video is choppy, with many uninvited and abrupt cuts to black, but it captures some very interesting little moments, half-sentences, camera moves, dance choreography, and, most importantly, shots of Paul directing with sunglasses on like it's his damn business.

Special thanks to Diego for dropping this at our feet. Cheers.

Maya Rudolph Would Rather Not Talk About Inherent Vice Just Yet


Here is an all-around delightful interview with actor Sam Rockwell and PTA's long-time lady, actress Maya Rudolph, doing a promotional push for their new film The Way, Way Back, and wouldntcha know it... Maya gets asked about Inherent Vice. What transpires is an utterly endearing evasion of the question at hand. Admittedly, it's a bit of non-news, but it's still nice to see the film's title get thrown around. You might recognize the interviewer from the Collider interview with Amy Adams a while back, which also deviated from the film being promoted to talk about working with Paul. I think it might be fair to infer the dude is a fan.

'Vice' Adds Timothy Simons

As Inherent Vice completes its first month of shooting, we've had no shortage of developments to report on, and today we have another. According to The Playlist, Veep-actor Timothy Simons has hopped onto the picture in an as-of-yet unknown role. Simons is only the latest performer known primarily for television work to join the project (Sasha Pieterse, Peter McRobbie, Yvette Yates, Hong Chau, et al.) He is also yet another PTA first-timer, so it would appear that we are going to be getting quite a diverse cast, if that isn't already painfully self-evident. 

Our Inherent Vice timeline page is officially up to date now, so go and quench those thirsty eyes.
