Paul Thomas Anderson films in London
The next feature from writer/director Paul Thomas Anderson is now in pre-production in London with filming due to take place next year.
Daniel Day-Lewis is reportedly attached to star in the film, much of which is under wraps. It is thought to be set against a backdrop of the world of London fashion in the 1950s, and comes from LA-based Annapurna Pictures.
PI subscribers can log in for details on the Untitled Paul Thomas Anderson Fashion Project including the name of the production co-ordinator and line producer.
The project will reunite the director and lead actor - the pair previously collaborated on There Will Be Blood which garnered two Academy Awards including a Best Actor gong for Day-Lewis.
Hollywood films continue to make a serious impact on the UK production industry map – studios are filling up now with teams bedding into pre-production in readiness for principal photography to begin next year.
