Jan 18 2006PTA Meeting (With Executives At Paramount and Miramax)
Fans of Paul Thomas Anderson will be excited to learn he has a new film in the works:
Writer-director Paul Thomas Anderson is in advanced talks to produce and direct "There Will Be Blood," starring Daniel Day-Lewis as a turn-of-the-century Texas oil prospector in the early days of the oil business. The sprawling period piece, which Anderson has spent several years writing, is loosely adapted from Upton Sinclair's 1927 novel "Oil!"
News of playing a prospector came as no surprise to Day-Lewis, who had already been growing a crazy prospector beard for some time.
