Phantom Thread
The trailer and bill have arrive forPhantom Thread , starring Daniel Day - Lewis and directed by Paul Thomas Anderson . There are n’t many theatre director these days whose films can be pretty described as result , but Anderson is one of them . The filmmaker behindBoogie Nights , Magnolia , There Will Be Blood , andInherent Viceonly releases new films every three to four year , but when he does it ’s always a big part of the film conversation in a particular year .
Anderson ’s late film has been somewhat shrouded in whodunit since it was first announced , but here ’s what we eff so far . It ’s calledPhantom Thread . It star Day - Lewis in his first role since Steven Spielberg’sLincolnin 2012 and purportedly his last carrying out before he retreat . It ’s set in the London fashion world of the fifties . Day - Lewis ’ eccentric ’s name is Reynolds Woodcock . Anderson write and directed it , with Radiohead guitar player Jonny Greenwood , who scored the last three PTA picture show ( There Will Be Blood , The Master , andInherent Vice ) devolve to spell the score . Now , we have our first look at the film proper .
Focus Features has now relinquish the first lagger forPhantom Threadonline ( see the picture above ) . The two - minute prevue features Day - Lewis tailoring and discussing clothes and their importance to him , while flirting / romancing a much younger adult female ( Vicky Krieps ) . There ’s also talk of a curse , and of the booster ’s struggle with love ; we also see that Reynolds wreak closely with his sister ( Lesley Manville).Phantom Threadalso has a poster now , which you’re able to check out below :
The lagger also emphasizes the look of the film : a washed - out period esthetic , with opulent setting and costumes . Between the optic style , the step up stress , Day - Lewis ' important screen bearing and Greenwood ’s score , the vibe of the laggard is much more interchangeable toThere Will Be Bloodthan to any other premature Anderson motion-picture show .
CanPhantom Threadmake a unlike at the box office or award season ? It ’s for the most part been absent from the Oscar buzz conversation thus far , although that may be because no one has seen the film yet . Unlike many of its competitors , the picture has n’t been showing at festivals throughout the fall . Anderson ’s last film , 2014’sInherent Vice , evolve something of a cult following , but it did n’t make much of an accolade dent .
Then again , Day - Lewis is a three - time Oscar victor for Best Actor , Anderson is a major talent , and the last time he and Day - Lewis worked together , onThere Will Be Blood , it resulted in one of the most acclaimed films of the X . The movie world will be thirstily eyingPhantom Thread ’s arrival in December , for those understanding .
