So, supposedly, this is warming up to start filming this summer. The second Pynchon novel he is going to bring to the screen. They are supposedly still trying to cast a key role of a teenage girl that is proficient in martial arts. It likely will be someone we don't know. However, if the rest of that cast list is real, this will be a helluva film.

It feels like Joaquin Phoenix is in every upcoming film (this film, Napoleon, Beau is Afraid, Joker 2, ...)

It feels like Joaquin Phoenix is in every upcoming film.

Yeah, honestly, I don't know if the cast list there has been set. I would not be surprised if he is in this, it is just that I have not seen confirmation of that cast. I am guessing nearly every actor would say yes to being in an Anderson picture and the two have a relationship so, it could be he is in this. I think some confirmation will probably come soon because it is supposed to shoot this summer. So, there must be some cast that is already locked in.

Joaquin must be a favorite of Paul’s- The Master, and Inherent Vice.
