UK Trailer for INHERENT VICE Cut by Director Paul Thomas Anderson
"It's not groovy to be insane."
A fantastic new international UK trailer has been released for Paul Thomas Anderson's upcoming film Inherent Vice. The movie has a great cast of actors that includes Joaquin Phoenix, Josh Brolin, Owen Wilson, Reese Witherspoon, and Benicio Del Toro. It looks absolutely wacko, so I'll probably really enjoy it. I enjoy Anderson's style of humor, and this trailer was cut by Anderson himself.
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.
For those of you who actually reside in the UK, you're in luck, as the trailer also promotes surprise screenings of the film. Inherent Vice will be shown at the Prince Charles Cinema in London this Wednesday at 7 PM and 10:15 PM. The screenings benefit The Film Foundation, and tickets are on sale now via the link above. The movie will get a wide release on Christmas Day.
