Some slight news in regards to Paul Thomas Anderson’s new film. Jeff Sneider on The Hot Mic podcast reiterated what I already reported a week ago, the film is being delayed due to the strike, but he does mention that Taylour Paige (Zola) has been added to the cast. My best guess is that the current cast (Viggo Mortensen, Leonardo DiCaprio, Regina Hall) might start getting into scheduling issues and foreseeably change due to the strike delay.
“Hope,” Na’s first film in ten years — his last one being the exemplary “The Wailing” —is a gloriously messy, blood-soaked sci-fi epic that may become a cult classic despite—or because of—its polarizing nature.
