Focus Features has announced that it has snapped up the worldwide distribution rights to Paul Thomas Anderson’s new film, which is set to reunite him with his There Will Be Blood star Daniel Day-Lewis and will revolve around the world of fashion in 1950s London.
“Paul Thomas Anderson is a singular storyteller who has the ability to mesmerize audiences by creating complex and fascinating characters,” states Focus chariman Peter Kujawski. “It is our privilege to bring Daniel Day-Lewis’ reteaming with Paul to movie lovers who have long hoped for their reunion.”
“Amongst their contemporaries, Paul and Daniel truly represent the highest tier of artistry in film,” adds Megan Ellison of Annapurna Pictures, who is producing. “We are thrilled to partner with Peter and his entire team at Focus and collaborate once again with Paul on this ever original, visionary story. We cannot wait to see this lush world come to life with Daniel at the center.”
Production on the film is set to get underway in January for release later in 2017.
