First trailer arrives for Paul Thomas Anderson’s collaboration with Leonardo DiCaprio

One Battle After Another is inspired by Thomas Pynchon’s experimental postmodern novel Vineland and will also feature Benicio Del Toro, Alana Haim and Sean Penn

Less than 24 hours after Warner Bros announced they had pushed back the release date for Paul Thomas Anderson’s new film to late September – with an eye, suggested pundits, on teeing up its star, Leonardo DiCaprio, for a second Oscar – a first trailer for One Battle After Another has arrived. Inspired by Thomas Pynchon’s novel Vineland, an experimental postmodern fiction in which characters in 1984 California flashback to the 60s, it is Anderson’s second adaptation of his works, following 2014’s Inherent Vice. One of the stars of that film, Benicio Del Toro, also features in One Battle After Another, alongside Licorice Pizza co-stars Alana Haim and Sean Penn.
