I love Magnolia and I think Punch-Drunk Love is his most underrated!
Paul Thomas Anderson‘s next film Inherent Vice has been given a plum awards-season release date. Warner Bros said today that the pic starring Joaquin Phoenix, Reese Witherspoon, Owen Wilson, Josh Brolin, Katherine Waterston and Jena Malone will come out December 12, 2014. The adaptation of Thomas Pynchon’s 2009 detective novel will be Anderson’s first film since 2012′s The Master, which was nominated for three Oscars. The studio has spent the past week setting its release slate, especially for early 2015, finding spots for Man From U.N.C.L.E (January 16), Run All Night (February 6), Focus (February 27) and Get Hard (March 27).
Warner Bros Dates Paul Thomas Andersons Inherent Vice For December 2014

Entertainment Weekly's Fall Preview issue continues to serve up more stuff that's not yet online, but has been digitized by those who can't wait for studio marketing types to get the material out there. And so that means the first official image from Paul Thomas Anderson's hugely anticipated "Inherent Vice" is pretty small.
But still, it's something that nonetheless gives us a look at Josh Brolin and Joaquin Phoenix in the Thomas Pynchon adaptation, and apparently it's going to be just as bonkers as you think. "A piece of fruit plays a major role. It's frozen. And it's my friend," Brolin told the magazine. "Even talking about it now makes me chuckle." So yeah, WTF, and yes "The Long Goodbye" and Cheech and Chong are both cited as influences on this one.
"Inherent Vice" arrives in limited release on December 12th and goes wide on January 9, 2015.
While I'm happy that Joaquin got the role (he's been on a roll as of late) I'm sad that Robert Downey Jr couldn't commit to 'Vice' due to the shooting delays and him having to do Iron Man 3.
I really miss Robert doing quality indie stuff, and for a while, he was stuck doing tentpole after tentpole (Marvel, Sherlock).
Now, RDJ has 'The Judge' coming up but that's up in the air. It might be really good, or just a standard procedural type film.
