The video provides the audience with a first look at the main cast led by Academy Award winners Leonardo DiCaprio (The Revenant) and Sean Penn (Milk). The ensemble cast will also feature Regina Hall (Girls Trip, O’Dessa), Alana Haim (Licorice Pizza), Teyana Taylor (A Thousand and One), Wood Harris (Remember the Titans), Benicio del Toro (Sicario, The French Dispatch), D.W. Moffett (Traffic), Chase Infiniti (Presumed Innocent), John Hoogenakker (Dopesick), and more.
One Battle After Another is written and directed by Anderson. Should the movie indeed be based on Vineland, this would mark the second time that the acclaimed filmmaker has adapted one of Pynchon’s novels, after previously directing the 2014 movie Inherent Vice. Further details about the movie’s plot and characters are still being kept under wraps. The original Vineland novel takes place in the 1980s, following the culture clash during the Reagan administration.
The upcoming crime thriller is produced by Anderson, Sara Murphy, and Adam Somner, with Jonny Greenwood providing the music. The project was reportedly given a budget of over $140 million, which is double the amount of the typical budget for Anderson’s previous movies.
