Fingers crossed PTA figures out a way to fit into the movie a non-gratuitous 10 minute harp solo.

I'd be okay with it being gratuitous

I think she's adorbs, and she'll do just fine. She's got some natural brass in her voice that cuts through the sweetness. I'm hoping she'll do a double-thumbed string shimmy in homage to Harpo.

Before I scrolled up I made an assumption about what this was in reference to that was incorrect. I agree with both contexts, though.

I was thinking more like she uses it to psychically solve crimes or something. Also, the film (or at least this thread) should be renamed The Harp Whisperer.

Nice to see that PTA is still a director shooting features on film, though as per the IMDB, it's a return to 35mm instead of 65mm. Also according to the IMDB, it's his second film in 1.85:1 after his first five were all in Scope. I wonder if there will be any chances of seeing this in a 35mm print, whenever it's released in the UK?

I wouldn't be completely certain that any of those details (aside from 35mm, which was confirmed), are true. IMDB isn't tremendously reliable with something like aspect ratio information prior to a film's release.

Fincher noted that his dolly track for the second shot of ZODIAC was about 250 feet long, so Anderson only has him beat by about twenty feet!

Either you meant Zodiac was 450 feet or Anderson beat him by 220 feet.

Or even after it, in many cases.

Sorry about the typo - the ZODIAC shot did indeed require approximately
450 feet of dolly track according to Fincher.

Release date set: 12/12/2014. Thinking it's hardly a coincidence that it's the same weekend that
American Hustle was released in 2013.

More Brolin on Inherent Vice
I think we should have an Inherent Vice page.

First impression from an industry insider is glowing, will likely not be ready in time for Cannes despite enthusiastic courting
An anonymous industry insider who's seen a cut of the film wrote:Mix together The Big Lebowski and [Robert] Altman's The Long Goodbye and turn it into a two-and-a-half hour PT Anderson epic and you're getting close to the awesome experience of Inherent Vice. Even Joaquin Phoenix's performance has echoes of '70s Elliot Gould with a touch of The Dude. But don't get me wrong, the film is its own animal. A drug-fueled detective story filled with great psychedelic music and beautiful, grainy cinematography. It's both hilarious and confounding at times. But Anderson does an incredible job of making the incredibly complex plot both comprehensible and entertaining. Even though he's apparently said he's still tinkering, it felt like a finished film and will definitely go down as one of my favorites of his.

Didn't think it was. Early December was the release date I heard.

Films can play at festivals well in advance of their theatrical release dates, and the programmers at Cannes were courting PTA hard for this one as editing has dwindled to more of a tinkering stage (some industry insiders have seen a near-finished cut). So it's relevant to mention that it won't be playing there. The reason the release date is what it is: Awards consideration and attention, particularly because American Hustle was released that same weekend last year and folks at Warner Bros are likely going to try to capitalize on the pulpy period picture similarity.

I think "Pulpy period picture parallel" would have been a better choice.
