Watch the zany first trailer for Paul Thomas Anderson's Inherent Vice
Film and literature buffs alike have been champing at the bit to get a look at Paul Thomas Anderson's Inherent Vice, based on the Thomas Pynchon novel of the same name. Now, just a few days before its premiere at the New York Film Festival, we can all finally get a glimpse of what the There Will Be Blood director has been cooking up.
The film's massive ensemble cast includes Phoenix, Josh Brolin, Reese Witherspoon, Owen Wilson, and Benicio del Toro, and even a brief cameo from the legendarily reclusive Pynchon. Inherent Vice has attracted Oscar buzz from the moment it was announced, so let's hope it can live up to the sky-high expectations when it hits theaters in December.
