Six Clips from Joaquin Phoenix's INHERENT VICE
We've got six great new clips for you to check out from director Paul Thomas Anderson's upcoming film Inherent Vice. The movie stars Joaquin Phoenix, Josh Brolin, Martin Short, Owen Wilson, Reese Witherspoon, and Benicio Del Toro. This movie looks insane. I love the films that Anderson makes, and this looks like it's going to be great. These clips will give you an idea of how wacky this movie will be. The film is based on the book by Thomas Pynchon. Here's a detailed synopsis of the book:
When private eye Doc Sportello’s ex-old lady suddenly out of nowhere shows up with a story about her current billionaire land developer boyfriend whom she just happens to be in love with, and a plot by his wife and her boyfriend to kidnap that billionaire and throw him in a loony bin…well, easy for her to say.
It’s the tail end of the psychedelic `60s and paranoia is running the day and Doc knows that “love” is another of those words going around at the moment, like “trip” or “groovy,” that’s being way too overused—except this one usually leads to trouble.
With a cast of characters that includes surfers, hustlers, dopers and rockers, a murderous loan shark, LAPD Detectives, a tenor sax player working undercover, and a mysterious entity known as the Golden Fang, which may only be a tax dodge set up by some dentists... Part surf noir, part psychedelic romp—all Thomas Pynchon.
Inherent Vice opens in limited release on Friday, December 12th.
