Phantom Thread (2017, Paul Thomas Anderson) S: Daniel Day-Lewis, Vicky Krieps
Daniel Day-Lewis and Paul Thomas Anderson may be assembling a big screen reunion, this time in the world of fashion.
Although no deal is set, sources tell Variety that Day-Lewis is in talks to reunite with Anderson, who directed his Oscar-winning performance in “There Will Be Blood.”
Anderson’s reps declined to comment.
Sources say that Day-Lewis, who hasn’t made a film since “Lincoln” in 2012, has been loosely attached to the project for some time. Anderson is still working on a script while meeting young actresses of Eastern European descent to cast supporting roles.
Megan Ellison’s Annapurna Pictures is producing and financing the untitled project. The film will be set in 1950s New York and revolve around the fashion industry, although the plot is under wraps.
Annapurna most recently worked with PTA on “The Master” and “Inherent Vice.”
Day-Lewis, who won his third Academy Award for his performance in Steven Spielberg’s “Lincoln,” has kept a low-profile the past decade. Prior to “Lincoln,” the thesp took a three-year break after Rob Marshall’s “Nine” in 2009. He filmed PTA’s “There Will Be Blood” before that in 2007.
Anderson most recently directed music videos for Radiohead and Joanna Newsom as well as the documentary “Junun,” which shows the collaboration between Radiohead guitarist Jonny Greenwood and composer Shye Ben Tzur. Greenwood is also the composer of Anderson’s last three films.
No studio is currently attached to the project.

I had a lot of problems with The Master and Inherent Vice, but with so few "older" directors making ambitious, big screen movies, I'm happy to see Anderson jumping back in the saddle. He's one of those directors like Coppola, or Herzog, or Lee, or Lynch, where even if the movie doesn't work for me, I really enjoy the experience of sitting in the theatre and seeing what the've created.

Inherent Vice was a disappointment for me so I am hoping this one will be a rebound as PTA is one of my favorite directors.

There are so many movies out there that I probably wouldn't care for based on concept/plot. But the execution of it sure as hell can take my interest for a project.

I don't like sports. At all. Can't stand watching games. And I probably loathe soccer most of all. But I thought "The Damned United" was a fantastic film, and it's entirely about UK soccer. Snake's point is totally valid.

Meh, purely objective and it varies from person to person. That's what's valid.
I love sports, but I don't care for sports movies, regardless of the critical acclaim they have.
I don't like musicals because, well fuck musicals. I don't care who's involved and how much people love it.
I don't care about fashion, so I'm not going to care about this movie despite Paul Thomas Anderson and DDL being involved.

I hope there's a snappy montage where they try on eccentric fashions. Like in European Vacation.
