After dropping a short teaser last week, Warner Bros has launched the full-length official trailer for Paul Thomas Anderson's black comedy thriller One Battle After Another, which stars Academy Award-winner Leonardo DiCaprio (Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood; The Revenant; The Wolf of Wall Street) in the lead role and marks his first collaboration with Anderson.

While the studio had been tight-lipped on plot details, the trailer now reveals the film will follow a man named a revolutionary named Bob Ferguson (DiCaprio), who's doing his best to save his daughter.

In addition to DiCaprio, the supporting cast features 2x Academy Award-winner Sean Penn (Mystic River; Milk; The Thin Red Line), Academy Award-winner Benicio del Toro (Traffic; Sicario; The Usual Suspects), Regina Hall (Girls Trip; Scary Movie; The Best Man), Teyana Taylor (A Thousand and One; Coming 2 America; Honey: Rise Up and Dance), Chase Infiniti (Bruiser; All American; Bel-Air...

Warner Bros. Pictures just deepened the anticipation of Paul Thomas Anderson's One Battle After Another starring Leonardo DiCaprio with an intense first trailer. Just one week after a 21-second teaser was released, which was a gun-totting, bullet-flying introduction, WB gave everyone more than a taste of what's in store for Anderson's reportedly most expensive film. The dark comedy action flick will also star Regina Hall, Teyana Taylor, Sean Penn, Alana Haim, Benicio del Toro, Wood Harris, Shayna McHayle, and Chase Infiniti. This film is the first time Leonardo DiCaprio and Anderson have worked together.

In the new trailer (seen below), DiCaprio's character, Bob Ferguson, a zany, scruffy revolutionary, is on a mission to save his daughter. In the opening scene of the trailer, he bursts through the door of what seems like a grocery store, wearing a long red and black checkered robe and a beanie, seemingly squeezing...

The first trailer for Paul Thomas Anderson’s new feature film, One Battle After Another, has been released.

One Battle After Another is set for a September 26th release via Warner Bros. Pictures. Confirmed to be a contemporary adaptation of Thomas Pynchon’s 1990 crime thriller Vineland, the film stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Penn, Benicio del Toro, Regina Hall, Teyana Taylor and Wood Harris. Alana Haim is set to make her second appearance in a PTA film since Licorice Pizza, plus Shayna McHayle, known to most as rapper Junglepussy, and Chase Infiniti round out the cast.

One Battle After Another boasts an expensive budget, sitting at $140 million according to The Wall Street Journal. The film marks PTA’s second film adaptation of a Pynchon novel, the first being 2014’s Inherent Vice starring Joaquin Phoenix.

Radiohead’s Jonny Greenwood composed the film’s score, marking the duo’s sixth consecutive collaboration together,...

Warner Bros. has released an official trailer for Paul Thomas Anderson's One Battle After Another. This comes after the studio released a teaser trailer for the upcoming Leonardo DiCaprio crime thriller last week.

One Battle After Another is inspired by Thomas Pynchon's 1990 novel Vineland, making this Anderson's second adaptation of the author's work after Inherent Vice, the 2014 movie based on the eponymous 2009 novel. The upcoming crime thriller is notable for being the first time that DiCaprio has worked with Anderson, the acclaimed filmmaker behind Boogie Nights (1997), Magnolia (1999), There Will Be Blood (2007), Phantom Thread (2017), and Licorice Pizza (2021). One Battle After Another also stars Sean Penn, Benicio del Toro, Regina Hall, Chase Infiniti, Alana Haim, and Shayna McHayle.

One Battle After Another hits theaters on Sept. 26.

Following last week’s 20-second teaser that gave a brief look at Paul Thomas Anderson’s highly anticipated new project, “One Battle After Another” now has an official trailer.

This marks the first time that Leonardo DiCaprio has starred in an Anderson film. Alongside DiCaprio, the cast includes Regina Hall, Teyana Taylor, Sean Penn, Alana Haim, Benicio del Toro, Wood Harris, Shayna McHayle and Chase Infiniti.

Plot details and the film’s exact title remained unknown until the first teaser dropped, with “One Battle After Another” expected to be somewhat inspired by Thomas Pynchon’s classic 1990 novel “Vineland.” The trailer reveals that DiCaprio plays Bob Ferguson, a wacky, disheveled revolutionary who’s trying to save his daughter. It begins with Bob, in a beanie and bathrobe, using a payphone to request help from some unknown rebel allies but forgetting which codewords to use. Del Toro plays Bob’s sensei and...

In the upcoming thriller One Battle After Another, almost after a three-decade wait, Paul Thomas Anderson and Oscar-winning actor Leonardo Dicaprio join forces. The film’s teaser was dropped on March 20, introducing a colossal world of gun-blazing action-thriller, which might land Anderson and Dicaprio their next Oscar nomination. The teaser looks sharp and daunting, where DiCaprio might take up the role of gun-toting dad.

With Warner Bros. behind the banner, the film brings one of the most awaited collaborations between Anderson and DiCaprio, who almost missed it in the highly acclaimed Boogie Nights released in the 1977 breakout movie. The film will feature Regina Hall, Teyana Taylor, Sean Penn, and Anderson’s Licorice Pizza star Alana Haim.

Benicio del Toro, Wood Harris, Shayna McHayle, and Chase Infiniti have also been roped in to be part of this upcoming thriller drama.

It’s been four years since Paul Thomas Anderson released his most recent feature film. But the director will return on Sept. 26 with One Battle After Another — and he’s coming back with guns blazing. The first-look teaser trailer for the film stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Teyana Taylor, and Chase Infiniti moving through different stages of life while dodging both literal and metaphorical bullets.

When Taylor first appears at the start of the teaser, her extended pregnant belly stands out in contrast to the machine gun she’s holding down the trigger on.

Warner Bros. Pictures has released the first teaser for “One Battle After Another,” the latest film from writer-director Paul Thomas Anderson starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Regina Hall, Teyana Taylor and Sean Penn. It’s Anderson’s latest film since 2021’s critically acclaimed “Licorice Pizza” and releases in theaters on Sept. 26.

The short teaser arrives before a full trailer next week. It mainly shows the characters firing off several guns in a field, with Taylor’s character pregnant and shooting off a rifle as DiCaprio sips a drink and watches. The baby arrives in the next scene, with a narrator asking “What are you gonna do about this baby?” Immediately, the teaser cuts to the grown-up child firing a rifle just like her mother.

Several major movies have suffered release date delays, including Oscar-winner and Hollywood icon Leonardo DiCaprio’s upcoming mysterious crime thriller. Set to be helmed by Academy Award nominee Paul Thomas Anderson, the project has now been pushed back from August 8 to September 26, while Maggie Gyllenhaal’s Frankenstein musical The Bride! faces an even greater delay, moving from September to March 6, 2026.

But, in some good news, while DiCaprio’s latest venture and The Bride! have been pushed back, Barbarian director Zach Cregger’s upcoming horror epic Weapons starring Josh Brolin and Julia Garner has been pulled forward. Originally set for release in January 2026, Weapons will now take the August 8, 2025, slot left by DiCaprio.

As per a report by Variety, Warner Bros. has likely delayed these tentpole projects “as the studio helps outfit U.S. movie theaters with VistaVision projection systems to accommodate their director’s vision,” insiders claim. It’s also...

Alana Haim and Teyana Taylor will star in Paul Thomas Anderson’s next movie.Alana, 32, will reunite with her 'Licorice Pizza' director Anderson for the film, which will also feature 'A Thousand and One' actress Teyana, 33, Wood Harris, rapper Shayna McHayle and newcomer Chase Infiniti, according to The Hollywood Reporter.They will join previously announced leads Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Penn and Regina Hall in the untitled movie, which will also be produced by Anderson, along with Sara Murphy and Adam Somner.Deadline previously reported that while the logline for the movie was being kept secret, it will have a "contemporary setting and is the most commercial one [Anderson] has attempted".Penn and Haim previously worked together on 'Licorice Pizza', while Hall and McHayle collaborated on Andrew Bujalski’s 2018 comedy 'Support the Girls'.'Licorice Pizza' received Oscar nominations for Best Picture, Best Original Screenplay and Best Director.

“Licorice Pizza” star Alana Haim is reuniting with filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson for his next film. Anderson wrote the script and is directing the currently untitled film for Warner Bros., led by Michael De Luca and Pam Abdy (who gave a green light to “Licorice Pizza” when they ran MGM).

Along with Haim, other new additions to the cast include “A Thousand and One” breakout Teyana Taylor, “Creed” actor Wood Harris, rapper Shayna McHayle (a.k.a. Junglepussy) and newcomer Chase Infiniti. Anderson is producing the film with Sara Murphy and Adam Somner.

Oscar winners Leonardo DiCaprio and Sean Penn were previously reported to star in the feature, alongside “Girls Trip” star Regina Hall. Hall previously worked with McHayle on Andrew Bujalski’s 2018 comedy “Support the Girls.”

While plot details are being kept under wraps, a source with knowledge of the production previously told Variety that the feature will be...

With production beginning in Northern California for Paul Thomas Anderson’s next feature, the casting announcements are finally starting to flow in. After Leonardo DiCaprio, Regina Hall, and Sean Penn were announced, we learned this week that newcomer Chase Infiniti is part of the ensemble.

Now, THR reports Licorice Pizza star Alana Haim will join the project, alongside Teyana Taylor (A Thousand and One), Wood Harris, and Shayna McHayle aka Junglepussy (Support the Girls).

The recent set photos have also further fueled much speculation that Paul Thomas Anderson is taking on a contemporary update of Thomas Pynchon’s Vineland, shifting its 1984-set depiction of Reagan’s reign of terror to the Maga state of today. If this proves to be the case, we would imagine DiCaprio takes the lead Zoyd Wheeler role, Regina Hall is Frenesi Gates, Chase Infiniti is their daughter Prairie, and Sean Penn plays the villainous Brock Vond.

Paul Thomas Anderson has rounded out the cast of his latest feature. Alana Haim, who made her acting debut in Anderson’s Licorice Pizza, and A Thousand and One breakout Teyana Taylor have been added to the cast, along with Wood Harris and Shayna McHayle.

Newcomer Chase Infiniti has also joined the untitled feature, which is currently in production and, as previously announced, stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Penn and Regina Hall. The plot of the film is being kept under wraps.

Anderson wrote the script and will produce with Sara Murphy and Adam Somner, both of whom worked with the filmmaker on Licorice Pizza.

The project is set up at Warner Bros, headed by Mike De Luca and Pam Abdy, who worked with Anderson on the 2021 Oscar-nominated film during their tenure running MGM. While leading New Line, De Luca also worked with the director on Boogie Nights and Magnolia.

Outside of Licorice Pizza,...

In some ways, the 2010s belonged to women in Hollywood. The last ten years saw a renewed resurgence of conversations about diversity and inclusion in Hollywood. Actresses and filmmakers sharing their stories of sexual assault or exploitation became among the first to usher in the #MeToo movement and change the way the public talks about gender violence and discrimination. Yet, for all the many strides these past several years, there continues to be a lack of women behind and in front of the camera and throughout several branches of craft and technical fields of the business.

Women characters have yet to reach on-screen parity with their male counterparts, actresses’ careers have impossibly shorter shelf lives than their male co-stars, and women still face a daunting wage gap throughout the industry. There’s a lot of work left to be done on and off the screen, but for now, let’s...

Stars: Regina Hall, Haley Lu Richardson, Dylan Gelula, Zoe Graham, Ann LeuVoy, Elizabeth Trieu, Krista Hayes, Victor Isaac Perez, Jesse Marshall, Luis Olmeda, Shayna McHayle, Jermichael Grey | Written and Directed by Andrew Bujalski

Support the Girls, directed by Andrew Bujalski, stars Regina King as Lisa. A general manager at a sports and curves themed bar. We follow Lisa as she goes through all manners of problems concerning her co-workers, personal life and societal prejudice. Joined by Haley Lu Richardson’s Maci and Shayna McHayle’s Danyelle we follow the events taking place over one single day in their chaotic lives.

The strongest element of Andrew Bujalski’s film is the sub-textual gender politics that surround the events that occur within the film. Said aspect of the feature is profoundly piquant and progressive with how it stoically develops and showcases said societal and gender oppression. However, such an element is vastly...

How good a movie year was 2018? Netflix got snubbed from the Cannes Film Festival and still managed to give the world “Roma,” “The Ballad of Buster Scruggs,” “Happy as Lazzaro” and a reconstruction of Orson Welles’ final film (plus two captivating documentaries about its production and restoration). The ubiquitous superhero genre gave us instant classics like “Black Panther” and “Spider-Man: Into the Spider Verse,” and even embraced its sillier side with “Teen Titans Go! to the Movies,” “Aquaman” and “Deadpool 2.” This was a year so great that it gave us not one but two juicy lead roles for John C. Reilly.

Paring the year’s highlights down to 25, let alone 10, was no easy feat, but here goes:

#11-25 (alphabetically): “1985,” “Annihilation,” “A Bread Factory,” “Burning,” “Can You Ever Forgive Me?”, “The Favourite,” “First Reformed,” “Lizzie,” “Private Life,” “Shoplifters,” “Skate Kitchen,” “Stan & Ollie,” “A Star Is Born,” “Tully,” “Zama...

To those of us who have toiled at fast food joints designed to be as alienating and as profitable as possible, the feeling is a painfully recognizable one: After eight hours of working on your feet, peddling here and there—but mostly staying in the same, agonizingly static position—your knees begin to give, your back to seize, and your feet to cramp. Lisa (Regina Hall), the manager of a Hooters knockoff located somewhere between the highways and byways of Austin, Texas, knows the physical cost of streamlined labor all too well. On the single day portrayed in Andrew Bujalski’s Support the Girls, this tenacious yet tender middle-aged black woman mostly pulls off the virtuosic juggling act demanded of her. As new recruits are hired (to keep up with the accelerated turnover at low-income jobs) and long-standing ones wrangled, the troupe of young, scantily-clad waitresses prepare for the day ahead.

They call ’em “breastaurants” — those sports-bar-and-grills less known for their cuisine than their well-endowed waitresses poured into tight t-shirts and oh-so-suggestive shorts. If you’ve been to Hooters, or are aware of the concept behind this formerly popular pin-up-calendar-come-to-life chain, you know the business model. These places sell dudes a sanitized version of sex with a side of hot wings — or as a character says in Support the Girls, a fantasy fueled by “boobs, brews and big screens.” It’s why people come to Double Whammies, the movie’s fictional...

Bleecker Street is taking Aaron Guzikowski’s crime-drama Papillon to a fairly wide 500-plus theaters this weekend, aiming the title, starring Charlie Hunnam and Rami Malek, at the adult audience it says are prime moviegoers for the summer wind-down. The feature will easily be the biggest opener among the weekend’s Specialty newcomers. Magnolia Pictures is opening Andrew Bujalski comedy Support The Girls, launching in select cities and starring Regina Hall and Haley Lu Richardson. Oscilloscope is playing doc John McEnroe: In The Realm of Perfection, Julien Faraut’s unique take on the tennis star’s 1984 French Open.

The Regina Hall-starrer “Support the Girls” may be targeted toward working-class women in the ‘Hooters’-esque ‘breastaurant’ industry, but today’s rapidly increasing ticket prices could very well be keeping them out of theaters.

“As much as in my idealistic dream world, everybody would still go to the movie theaters, I understand that the culture’s moved on, the technology’s moved on, and … certainly the Arclight — I don’t know what they charge now — but not everybody can come out to [see] this,” director Andrew Bujalski told Variety at premiere on Wednesday.

The indie drama features Hall as Lisa, the general manager of Double Whammies, a highway-side sports bar. Through Lisa’s eyes, and the experiences of her female servers, the film exposes the grit and sisterhood that come with waiting on the restaurant’s male clientele.

Lisa, like many working class women, barely has enough time to stop...

The post Support The Girls Movie Review appeared first on Shockya.com.

Workplace comedies used to be all the rage in the independent film world. Clerks was the movie that launched 1000 others, after all. Recently, there hasn’t been much in the way of this genre. Now, however, we have a new one that stands tall with something to say. Opening this week, Support the Girls is a winner of a workplace comedy and character study. Filmmaker Andrew Bujalski has his most mainstream work yet, one that suggests the former mumblecore godfather may have a future attracting larger audiences. He has a singular view of the world, so that often leads to a smaller group interested in his work. Not this time though. This is a winner that everyone can easily enjoy. The film is a comedy, but one more concerned with the little moments that make up a day than just making you laugh. This is the synopsis that Magnolia put...

"You're not wearing a whole lot of clothes, but it's a family place." Magnolia Pictures has released the first official trailer for an indie comedy film titled Support the Girls, about a group of women who work at a highway-side "sports bar with curves" - basically Hooters, but not really because that brand is trademarked. This is the latest film from Andrew Bujalski and it first premiered at the SXSW Film Festival earlier this year. Regina Hall stars as the manager of the bar, whose optimism and faith is "tested over the course of a long, strange day." The film's full ensemble cast includes Haley Lu Richardson, Dylan Gelula, Aj Michalka, Shayna McHayle, Lea DeLaria, James Le Gros, Jana Kramer, Brooklyn Decker, and Lawrence Varnado. Well, I'll be damned, this looks fantastic - seems to be a very smart satire with a few low key excellent performances. Check this out.

From his early so-called mumblecore days to his higher-profile features like Results, there’s been flashes of brilliance in all of Andrew Bujalski’s work, and now he’s created his best feature yet with Support the Girls. Starring Regina Hall, Haley Lu Richardson, Shayna McHayle, Brooklyn Decker, Jana Kramer, James Le Gros, Dylan Gelula, Aj Michalka and Lea DeLaria, the film follows a group of workers at a sports bar as they band together under the pressures of life and difficulties of the job.

John Fink said in his review from SXSW, “Bujalski as a filmmaker has created a film as fascinating as anything in his previous output. Similar to what he’s done for early computing, disabilities, and the fitness industry, he’s again demystified unseen worlds, finding gentle humor and drama in these settings. Support The Girls tackles diversity, racial identity, and an economy built on flirting and mutual exploitation.

Magnolia Pictures holds Us rights to SXSW selection.

Myriad Pictures has boarded international sales for Cannes on Andrew Bujalski’s comedy SXSW selection Support The Girls.

The film has an all-female ensemble cast led by Regina Hall, alongside Haley Lu Richardson, Dylan Gelula, Aj Michalka, Lea DeLaria, Brooklyn Decker and newcomer Shayna McHayle. Magnolia Films is handles Us distribution.

Support The Girls takes place over the course of a long day at a sports bar, where the optimism and faith of the general manager of optimism are tested to the limits. Houston King and Burn Later Productions’ Sam Slater produced.

Double Whammy is the kind of roadside “breasturant” that sells escapism alongside their fried food and burgers. They may in fact be a dying breed as those damn millennials are choosing to eat healthy, fresh, local, and artisanal; or as we’re told by Double Whammy’s national competition, Man Cave – millennials prefer booties. This is the kind of place with “big ass” or “man size” beers, big screen TVs, and “cute” young waitresses instructed to flirt with clientele. And it’s the setting for the most mainstream comedy yet from Andrew Bujalski, a founding member of Mumblecore. Director of pioneering films of the sub-genre like Funny Ha Ha and Beeswax, Bujalski’s latest film, Support The Girls, is a very funny drama following a day in the life of manager Lisa, as played brilliantly by Regina Hall.

The day starts like any other at an establishment along an Austin...

“Life keeps throwing you bullshit,” says Lisa (Regina Hall), in Andrew Bujalski’s remarkable “Support the Girls,” a thoughtful and touching look at the day in the life of a woman running an Austin sports bar, and her maternal support of the scantily clad waitresses who answer to her. Lisa has to put up with a lot of bullshit: an attempted robbery, unruly sexist customers, the bar’s obnoxious owner (James LeGros), marriage troubles, and her own staff. But she juggles each new challenge with a steely resolve that makes her one of Bujalski’s greatest characters, the indefatigable creation of a filmmaker who excels at exploring the nuances of human behavior.

There’s nothing subtle about Lisa’s place of an employment, the crudely named Double Whammies, where she oversees a sexist operation with an unusual amount of dignity. The movie unfolds as a succession of small moments, with...
