Paul Thomas Anderson’s Next Film to be Set in San Fernando Valley High School During the '70s

November 12, 2019 Jordan Ruimy

Every generation has a cinematic master. You know, a director who stands above the rest in terms of artistry and groundbreaking works. These directors tend to be the ones that everyone else tries to catch up to. There usually are, with every generation, only a few that can have the title of ‘master.’ Paul Thomas Anderson is most definitely one.

After “There Will Be Blood” and “The Master” it was quite clear, that PTA was the master of the aughts. By the time “Inherent Vice” was released back in 2014, the Californian stoner movie divided critics and sowed some doubt as to whether PTA still held the throne of best working director alive — don’t worry though, 2017’s “Phantom Thread” reestablished him as the current “great one.”

For a while now, we’ve known that PTA was hard at work on a new project. Back in April, it was revealed that Oscar-winning actor Leonardo DiCaprio had passed on the film directed by Anderson in favor of working with Guillermo del Toro, which he then passed on to work with Martin Scorsese on his next movie “Killers of the Flower Moon”. Of course, we’ve been curious to know what Anderson has up his sleeves. And thanks to a new report, we now know.

According to THR, Anderson is getting ready to begin casting on his new, untitled film, which will begin shooting in early 2020. The report claims that the film will take place in the ‘70s and to be set in the San Fernando Valley. The as-of-now untitled film is set to follow a young high school student who also happens to be a successful child actor. The film is said to be an ensemble that could have intersecting storylines.

San Fernando Valley? Intersecting storylines? You’d think we’re back in “Boogie Nights” and “Magnolia” territory. There are still no details on cast and crew of the film.
