We’re big fans of P.T. Anderson (Boogie Nights, Magnolia) at TToH and we look forward to his There Will Be Blood, starring Daniel Day-Lewis and Ciarán Hinds.
Based (albeit loosely) on Upton Sinclair’s novel Oil!, There Will Be Blood takes place at the turn of the 20th century where tycoon Daniel Plainview (Day-Lewis) strikes it rich after gaining drilling rights on a plot of family land in a backwater town in Texas.
It has been described as the “first great American film on the 21st century,” and rumour has it that it’s not that Anderson will get his first Oscar, it’ll be how many. Anderson and Day-Lewis aren’t the most prolific (Anderson has only made three films in the last ten years, the previous one being 2002’s Punch Drunk Love; ditto for Day-Lewis except for the Punch Drunk Love part) and the fact that they’ve come together for the same project makes this a more interesting prospect. With one of our favourite up-and-comers Paul Dano (The King, Little Miss Sunshine, The Ballad Of Jack And Rose) in the cast and a soundtrack by Radiohead’s Jonny Greenwood, TToH believe that There Will Be Blood will be Giant. Here’s the trailer. Mmm, good...

Trailer looks really good. When's it due?
Sometime next year. We don't know who's distributing it yet, but we'll let you know.
