Production[edit]

In June 2023, reports emerged stating that Paul Thomas Anderson's upcoming film, rumored to star Joaquin Phoenix, Viggo Mortensen, and Regina Hall, had found its home at Warner Bros. Pictures.[2]

Casting[edit]

In January 2024, Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Penn and Hall were confirmed to star, with principal photography scheduled to begin later in the year in California.[3] In February 2024, it was announced that Alana Haim, Teyana Taylor, Wood Harris, Shayna McHayle, and Chase Infiniti would be joining the cast of the film.[4] DiCaprio earned $20 million for his role.[1]

Filming[edit]

As of January 29, production had begun in Cutten.[5][6] The film, under the working title BC Project, filmed for 11 days across Humboldt County, in Eureka, Arcata, Cutten, and Trinidad.[7] On February 3, the production moved to Sacramento, with filming at the Sacramento County Administration Building and Sacramento County Courthouse.[8] Some controversy was generated when a homeless encampment was cleared to allow for filming.[9]

Release[edit]

The untitled film will be released on August 8, 2025. It will be the first of Anderson's films to be released in IMAX.[10]
