Could Leo bring the star power PTA needs in his next film?
Paul Thoman Anderson hasn’t had the best luck with his last two movies.
Phantom Thread and Licorice Pizza had a disappointing theatrical run, making back each film’s respective budgets, but not making a big enough profit for PTA to take a big risk with his next period piece.
On The Hot Mic with Jeff and Jon podcast, Jeff Sneider had some big insider information to share. With PTA needing to make a movie that pulls larger audiences into the theater, the director is looking to team up with Leonardo DiCaprio in his untitled crime film.
This untitled project is being kept a secret, but an industry insider revealed to Sneider that PTA was holding secret auditions in Hollywood to cast his film. What we do know about the film is that the production will take place this summer in and around Los Angeles, which is expected from the filmmaker who is obsessed with his hometown in the San Fernando Valley.
