Production Weekly listed a July start date in Los Angeles for the new PTA movie.

Leonardo DiCaprio, Joaquin Phoenix, Regina Hall and Viggo Mortensen are listed in the cast.

So we finally have some news and this is pretty awesome.

Wow, Leo in a PTA film? That's awesome. He will have quite literally worked with just about every great filmmaker of his Era.

I don't care about the plot or the story but with those 3 names attached I will watch it for sure.

The rumor is this is his long gestating adaption of the novel Vineland.

The cast isn't a lock yet.

I think Leo and Paul have been circling each other for many years. I knew when Leo’s dad was cast in Licorice Pizza that it might not be long.

I still can’t imagine Leo (the scrawny way he looked then) playing Dirk Diggler in Boogie Nights.

What was odd last night is the leak/news I saw was about Regina Hall joining the cast.

I hadn’t heard anything other than PTA was going to shoot a film in July.

It’s quite possible that Hall plays the lead role, a black jazz singer in 1930’s LA. Thankfully, he didn’t go with Tiffany Haddish, who Paul likes and considered.

Hopefully, Leo and Joaquin don’t have the Sean Penn/Bradley Cooper small roles like the last movie.
