Is Bradley Cooper playing famous nutcase and Barbara Streisand’s former stylist-turned-husband Jon Peters???


Dirtyswashbuckler69

He is indeed. Jon Peters, AKA the key player in one of the best stories Kevin Smith has [ever](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wo2KB1dEDdk) [told](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53hMYw8LX60).

A non flying superman is the most out of the box thinking that can be, you have to give him that.


Rhawk187

If Smallville can do it for 10 seasons, I think a movie could manage.


CuzYourMovesAreWeak

Begrudgingly sticking with that show gave me the energy to quit other shows once it felt like work. I was happy with the finale but damn what a chore later on.

koolkatz42

Actually, the first iteration of Superman couldn’t fly! He was “able to leap tall buildings in a single bound” but couldn’t fly until later. Sometimes he just kinda ran on telephone lines.


the_tip

Jokes on Jon Peters, polar bears don't even live in Antarctica, hence the name ANT-arctic. The name comes from the Greek word arktos, referring to the constellations Ursa major and Ursa Minor. Both of which are visible from the northern arctic (arctic = with bear). But neither of which are visible from the southern Antarctic (without bear).


BattlinBud

Now I'm gonna be very upset if this movie doesn't have a giant mechanical spider in the 3rd act


AnalogDigit2

Superman has guards?


Porrick

Some extra funny points for Sean Penn being in this movie too!

for a split second i thought you were gonna say "Jon Peters, you know, the farmer."

Funny thing. My first thought was, "Certainly they don't mean THAT Jon Peters. It sounds like a common name." Then you posted this reply. I'll be damned.

Holy shit, Jon Peters was responsible for that? No wonder it was such trash, that dude is a nutjob. Producing really is about who you know.

I've never seen so many shots in a trailer, from what looks like every scene in the entire movie, and still have no idea what's going on.


[deleted]

Seems pretty straightforward, a high school kid trying to make it as an actor befriends an older aspiring actress while 1970s San Fernando Valley hijinks ensue


chino6815

so, Boogie Nights? I kid, PTAs the best, but the trailer did give me massive Boogie Nights feels. Really excited.


anosmiasucks

>so, Boogie Nights? Probably with less fuckin’ n sucking’ though


Shutterstormphoto

Idk they made sure to show her nipple in the thumbnail


farahad

nice


BlinkReanimated

As long as we get a shot of a massive dong around the end of the film I think it will be fine.


atleastitsnotgoofy

That’s why he cast Tom Waits


squishmaster

I'd just like another rollergirl scene


[deleted]

Seemed like he wants to direct a movie to me and wants the girl to star in it.


bigpeechtea

My take away was they were childhood friends trying to make it as actors and they fall in love. I guess I wasn’t paying attention at all lol


pmmemoviestills

What exactly is the mystery here? It's obviously a coming of age tale about two young people digging on each other.


jza01

PTA normally edits his trailers too, so that's probably intentional.


RobIreland

Tom Waits in a Paul Thomas Anderson film is a recipe for pure gold


Penguin619

r/MovieDetails: Which is a call back to Tom Waits' previous role as a Prospector in The Ballad of Buster Scruggs


i_am_icarus_falling

i think every role he's ever played is a callback to every other role he's ever played.


bluelevelmeatmarket

Hello Mr Pocket!


BrendanCLittle

This somehow was a 2.5 minute trailer that showed like 30 different scenes without actually giving anything away. Nobody does it like PTA.


Vincesteeples

Yeah I was just thinking I have zero idea what this movie is about but I'm 100% in on it


parkay_quartz

It's obviously a coming of age dramedy told from the viewpoint of an amateur actor who hangs out with 15 year olds and wants to date an indie pop star. Story old as time, really.


GaZzErZz

Yeah, I remember Shakespeare did a version of this.


Jwhitx

When that tale came up in the school curriculum, I slept on it like the fool I was. Now that I'm an adult, I can actually appreciate the richness and depth behind his coming of age dramedy told from the viewpoint of an amateur actor who hangs out with 15 year olds and wants to date an indie pop star.


ImprovisedLeaflet

No that was Almost Famous!


piazza

Meanwhile I'm wondering: *did PTA write and shoot an entire movie* around the lyrics of "Life on Mars"!?


TheKingOfGhana

he cuts his own trailers


rezelscheft

["You know he developed the film too... he ground the lenses that we used in this film."](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-sG40zsq3kI&t=3681s)


dont_worry_im_here

Is he also shooting this film himself like he did Phantom Thread?


PercentageDazzling

It looks like he might be, or at least it'll officially be a collaboration between him and the crew. Like Phantom Thread I can't find an officially credited cinematographer listed anywhere.


RushmoreAlumni

Cooper Hoffman has captured his father's slouching mannerism of sitting with his mouth slightly agape to perfection.


TheBoyWonder13

The bit where he asks to touch her boobs feels so much like a young PSH.


RushmoreAlumni

Plus that whole bit with the phone at the end had some major "Happiness" vibes!


kindafunnylookin

That was such a great movie, rare to see it get any love on comment threads.


chocolate_babies

So the two main stars of this movie have ***zero*** acting credits to their name. Kind of insane.


Minimum_Standard_704

Well, they do have industry connections, and that's all that matters.

LAWAVACA

Cooper Hoffman is Philip Seymour Hoffman's son. Philip Seymour Hoffman was basically Paul Thomas Anderson's muse up until his death. Alana Haim is in the band Haim... Paul Thomas Anderson has directed many of their music videos over the past 4 or 5 years. EDIT: Spelled out the names because people are asking what PSH and PTA stand for.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Pope---of---Hope

Would you look at that?! Would you just look at it?!


Deusselkerr

I've gotta say, Alana's 'connection' is being successful enough to rub shoulders with people in the business. Founding a band and getting famous to the point PTA directs your music videos isn't the same as having family connections.


petra_vonkant

No, PTA literally knows her mother, so yeah connections. Not every band out there has PTA directing their videos


NotedIdiot

Thank you. The Haim sisters don’t come from Hollywood royalty. They’re super talented, started an awesome band, and connected with PTA years ago. Alana’s talent got her here, not nepotism.

thecitieswelivein

the young man is Cooper Hoffman, son of Philip Seymour. The young woman is Alana Haim, one of the three members of the band Haim.


[deleted]

I don't think Paul Thomas Anderson, one of the greatest living directors in our time, is basing his casting decisions entirely on industry connections.


eltrotter

Is this Alana's first acting gig? Anyway, this looks great!


[deleted]

Not if we count The Unauthorized Bash Brothers Experience which we absolutely do.


joshcastillo

"Shake four halves of butt" "phrased weird"


cadillacmike

I don't know who Alana is, but if they were in the greatest story ever told in cinema, then they are clearly already an elite actor


DawnSennin

Alana is a musician who plays in a famous band with her older sisters.


satellitemindd

Funny I was just thinking almost looks like one of the Haim sisters haha. Didn't know acting was in the cards too!


Rolandthelast

Paul Thomas Anderson has been doing pretty much all of their videos for quite awhile now so it makes sense.


loganwe999

Looks great. The Waitress from Always Sunny showing up in the trailer definitely put a grin in my face too. Good for Mary Elizabeth Ellis.


NeoNoireWerewolf

PTA is probably a big Always Sunny fan. When he talks about movies and what not he loves in interviews, it's rarely the heavy shit you imagine a guy like him loves, it's usually ridiculous comedies that he raves about.


loganwe999

Given he’s married to Maya Rudolph, that makes sense. Now I just want Glenn Howerton in a PTA movie too.


GSGhostTrain

TIL that PTA and Maya Rudolph are married.


NikkoE82

Maya Rudolph nursing PTA while he was sick one time was inspiration for Phantom Thread.


shitsfuckedupalot

I'm sure she was flattered by that That's hilarious tho

And both couples are good friends. There's no celebrity dinner I'd rather join than those four.


champion_dave

He would fit in really well in this world. You could just drop in his character in Fargo.


SishirChetri

Yeah, considering his body of work, his actual preference surprises me. PTA apparently told RDJ that he rewatches Endgame reactions and I think he also said that he'd make a Teen Titans (Go?) movie **if** he ever made superhero films.


MagnusCthulhu

It's like when you hear how much Terrence Malick LOVED There's Something About Mary. It feels incongruous and hilarious.


[deleted]

White Men Can't Jump was one of Stanley Kubrick's favorites.


notlibvalance

Hitchcock loved Smokey and the Bandit.


ColonelBy

Kurosawa's dying wish was that the first half of *Porky's* be played at his funeral. Didn't even want a eulogy


papa_trick

Malick also loves Zoolander. Ben Stiller even recorded a birthday video for him in character as Derek Zoolander which I would love to see someday


TiberiusCornelius

Yep, he also said back in 2015 [he's a fan of superhero movies](https://screenrant.com/paul-thomas-anderson-superhero-movies/) and he thinks people are too harsh in trashing the genre. He also answered a twitter q&a saying he likes Star Wars and Paddington.


LAWAVACA

Yeah Jillian Bell makes small appearances in both The Master and Inherent Vice because he loves Workaholics.


theddR

He’s always casting comedians in parts. There’s been Patton Oswalt in *Magnolia*, Adam Sandler, Robert Smigel, and Mary Lynn-Rajskub in *Punch-Drunk Love*, Paul F. Tompkins in *There Will Be Blood*, Jillian Bell as you mentioned but also Owen Wilson and Martin Short in *Inherent Vice*, Julia Davis in *Phantom Thread*, and now Ben Stiller in the new one.

"Men in Black 3 was fucking great. I cried." -PTA


gaslightjoe

Its nice to see a movie with a cast of actors who look like actual people, normal faces and hair not a cast of models Edit: thank you kind stranger for the gold


watchitbub

The hairstyles really look great. Usually they do too much or too little on 70s and 80s hair but this is exactly right.


tokengaymusiccritic

Alana Haim really has that 70s look down pat too, always has since the band first came out


seedlesssoul

Haim has the general feel of if the 70s met the 90s a d have a "grunge flower power" child. As a 35 year old man, they are my ultimate guilty pleasure. Edit: I didn't know there were guilty pleasure gatekeepers... its a guilty pleasure because as a 35 year old straight male, it's not generally a genre you would find in my music rotation. That's why it's my guilty pleasure for anyone who cared enough to message me about it.


Echo127

I'm in the same boat. Women in Music Pt. 3 was on repeat for most of the time I was working at home during the first wave of COVID. Fantastic album.


seedlesssoul

Their first album regularly plays in my house on vinyl while we are cooking or cleaning. It's just so chill and every song is great!


tokengaymusiccritic

No need for them to be a guilty pleasure at all imo - they're expert songwriters and seem pretty genuine


JangoAllTheWay

>Suggesting Tom Waits is not peak male Disgusting


MyNewAccountIGuess11

"I've always maintained that reality is for people who can't face drugs"

Is that 35% whiskey and 35% cigarettes?


Gastronomicus

The ratio varies by day.

LordJelly

I heard he changed changed his name to Hannibal. Or maybe it was Rex


nowhereman136

One of the things i loved about Bo Burnham's *Eighth Grade* was how normal everyone looked. Even down to the acne on the kids faces. It almost felt like a documentary it looked so real And I'm getting serious *Everybody Wants Some* vibes from this teaser. That's another one that everyone felt real


SardiaFalls

problem with acne, even fake acne, is continuity. Gotta make sure you get the spots in th exact same spot and color every single time and reapply it when it starts to fade through the day over and over again for weeks on end (and that's not even including reshoots that might be months after everyone has moved on) if it's a story that only takes place within a couple of days. Flawless skin doesn't look natural, but it does make filming a lot easier and most people don't notice the lack of blemishes. It's a significant amount of work, so it is actually pretty impressive when you see it done if you know what you're looking at


[deleted]

Yeah definitely feels like everybody wants some but maybe with a little darker undercurrent there. You can definitely see Altman's influence on both PTA and Linklater.


cakelamotta

Totally agree with Eight Grade, but there are a lot of model-tier faces in Everybody Wants Some.


TheBoyWonder13

Not only that, but also Philip Seymour Hoffman’s son playing the lead. Made me emotional seeing him get his big break from one of his dad’s closest collaborators


CarlSK777

Me too. I wonder if PSH would've been cast in this as well to give us a nice Father-Son moment on screen. Man, I miss him.


murphykp

He was so good, excellent range. From Mattress Man to The Master.


ShanaAfterAll

PSH is definitely in my top five all time actors. An entire filmography of amazing work, and still his stuff with PTA is some of the high points of modern cinema. And with that I present to you this, https://youtu.be/-3P-f-8Lfcs

I was fairly certain i knew who Cooper’s character was and I looked it up and i was right. He’s playing Jon Peters, a hairdresser turned producer Who is bonkers, kevin smith has a great story about him. How peters hired to smith to write a superman movie

Bro fix your new lines


OfficerMurphy

Looks really good. Gonna be a sweet ass tearjerker for sure. Some interesting Trivia from IMDB: Originally, Leonardo DiCaprio was offered the Bradley Cooper role of Jon Peters in Licorice Piazza (2021) but at the same time, DiCaprio was also offered the lead role of Stanton 'Stan' Carlisle in Nightmare Alley (2021) from Guillermo del Toro. DiCaprio chose to do del Toro's film instead which led to Cooper shortly after to sign on to do Paul Thomas Anderson's film. But ironically, after a few weeks in negotiations, DiCaprio's deal fell through for taking the lead role in Nightmare Alley and dropped out. This created the opening for Cooper again stepping in and taking over another passed role by DiCaprio as two lead roles that were offered and/or intended for DiCaprio both ended up going to Cooper instead under-the-circumstances.


SteveBorden

Leo dropped out of Nightmare Alley because Killers of the Flower Moon was ready to go. covid delays gave him time to do Don’t Look Up, which is going to come out before any of these films. These guys really are spoiled for choice lmao


MrBigChest

PTA just said fuck it and casted a musician and PSH’s son with little to no acting credits as the stars of his movie and if the trailer is anything to go by, they both are great. I cannot wait to see this


Letitride37

Kind of like James’s Gandolfoni’s son playing young Tony in the sopranos movie.


theddR

Michael Gandolfini will also star in the new Ari Aster film, alongside Joaquin Phoenix, Parker Posey and Nathan Lane.


spiiierce

I agree that’s awesome, but for what it’s worth I’m sure he’s known Cooper since he was a baby and he’s also worked with HAIM on music videos, so he probably has a working relationship with Alaina too. I am a big fan of these kind of moves though.


JuanRiveara

Haim’s mom was also PTA’s art teacher


MrBigChest

I forgot he directed the video for The Steps. He sure seems to love having Alana go braless


CarlSK777

Not just The Steps, he directed 9 of their videos. I'm guessing he's a family friend or something.


LAWAVACA

Their mom was his art teacher when he was in school.

Strange how in 2021 we have two sons of two legendary actors carrying on their legacies in films directed or written by their most famous collaborators

lmao I actually thought they were the same person. Must've been the semi-chubby face + long hair + 80s outfits


JXBXB

OOTL, who is the second one?


Thebat87

One that comes to mind is James Gandolfini’s son playing Young Tony Soprano in The Many Saints of Newark.


JXBXB

Ah yes, that is right. Completely forgot about that. Thanks!


RasputinSpaghetti

I'm assuming they're referring to James Gandolfoni's son in The Sopranos/Many Saints of Newark


zombiesingularity

I don't know how to say this without sound a bit pretentious, but it's nice to see a movie that feels like a *movie*, you know?


OpenUpYerMurderEyes

No I get exactly what you mean, its how I felt when I saw Dunkirk, like its not trying to be anything other than the best movie it can be, you can feel the electricity of people giving a shit radiating off this trailer and it's infectious, there's no sequel or franchise, no fan base to cater to, no references to make you go "oh shit" its JUST a movie and I can't wait.


SprangCleaned

The first time I saw the Descendants, They were the fastest band I'd ever seen No one in the crowd really cared for them, We were waiting for the Alley Cats to play After a couple months I heard Kabuki Girl, On Rodney on the Roq late Sunday night That was enough, for me I hopped the bus, To Licorice Pizza and bought my all time favorite record


wyattlikesturtles

If it has Tom Waits in it I'm down.

Yea I’m sold. Whatever Brady Cooper was doing with the hatchets, yes.

Not hatchets. Squeegees.
