Some bad news if you’re a Paul Thomas Anderson fan. His upcoming film, backed by Warner Bros, will only start shooting in February 2024, according to a recent Production Weekly listing. The film was eyeing a June/July shoot, but the writer’s strike impeded that progress. However, we can add that there are rumors going around that PTA shot a short film and that Johnny Greenwood will be composing the score. Greenwood mentioned this to a fan a few days ago in Florida.
The ‘Smile’ franchise has a new director. David Bruckner, who made “The Night House” and the 2022 “Hellraiser” reboot, has been hired to direct “Smile 3” for Paramount.
