RT Exclusive: Pics From There Will Be Blood
P.T. Anderson and Daniel Day-Lewis team up for December release
by Rachel Sandor | September 06, 2007
Discuss Article
Attention P.T. Anderson fans -- your wait is almost over! After a five year break, P.T. Anderson is back, and this time he's teaming up with the unparalleled Daniel Day-Lewis in There Will Be Blood. And RT is giving you a first look with our two exclusive pictures. Judging from these, it looks like There Will Be Blood will have beautiful cinematography and plenty of interaction between a father and son in pursuit of the American dream.



In 2002, Anderson took on a romantic-comedy in the brilliant Punch-Drunk Love (currently at 81 percent on the Tomatometer). Since then, eager fans have been waiting for his next feature film. This time around, instead of tackling pornography or raining frogs, Anderson brings us an epic about a family who strikes oil at the turn of the century. And The Beverly Hillbillies it ain't. There Will Be Blood focuses on the greed, corruption and other problems that stem from being a Texas oil prospector in the early 20th Century.



Although There Will Be Blood isn't scheduled for release until December, these first exclusive pics should tide you over for a bit. And looking at some of the past films from P.T. Anderson (Boogie Nights) and Daniel Day-Lewis (My Left Foot) -- there is plenty to be excited about.

Lena. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry I left you at the hospital. I called a phone-sex line... I called a phone-sex line before I met you, and four blonde brothers came after me and they hurt you, and I'm sorry. Then I had to leave again because I wanted to make sure you never got hurt again. And I have a lot of puddings, and in six to eight weeks it can be redeemed. So if you could just give me that much time, I think I can get enough mileage to go with you wherever you go if you have to travel for your work. Because I don't ever want to be anywhere without you. So could you just let me redeem the mileage?

Can't wait for this one. It's my most anticipated film of the year. Boogie Nights and Magnolia were both master pieces, and this one certainly has the potential to be, with Daniel Day-Lewis in the lead. I really didn't care that much for Punch Drunk Love however, and I definitely wouldn't consider it "brilliant". But, everyone has their opinion.

Very excited for this movie.

P.T. also helped man A Prarie Home Companion when Robert Altman fell ill, so he hasn't really been doing nothing for five years.

I agree with Paddy Garcia. BN and Magnolia, even Hard Eight are fantastic. But Punch Drunk Love is far from brilliant. Pretty good though.

Wasn't "there will be blood" the tagline from Saw?

Can't wait to see "There Will Be Blood"!!! I'm a huge PTA fan and loved all of his films with the exception of "Punch Drunk Love". I think "Hard Eight" is a masterpiece along with "BN". PTA is a true artist and an amazing filmmaker. He is true to his craft and that can only be said of several filmmakers including the Coen brothers.
