“You’re going to wonder ‘why does it look like that?’ And the answer is: because of this beautiful, beautiful format.” Warner Bros has debuted a new promo featurette for Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another movie – his action thriller about revolutionaries. This is hitting theaters nationwide in September in only a few more weeks. This exciting new PTA movie is about a father trying to find his daughter who has been arrested (rewatch the first official trailer). When their evil nemesis resurfaces after 16 years, a band of ex-revolutionaries reunite again to rescue the daughter of one of their own. Starring Leonardo DiCaprio as Bob Ferguson, plus Regina Hall, Sean Penn, Alana Haim, Teyana Taylor, Wood Harris, Benicio del Toro as “Sensei”, Shayna McHayle, and Chase Infiniti as his daughter. This quick video focuses on the VistaVision format that they filmed this in – a special 35mm film format originally invented in the 1950s (more info here). The Brutalist was also shot on VistaVision, then upgraded for projection onto 70mm film last year. The same with this movie! PTA’s big new exiting One Battle After Another is landing in theaters soon with special screenings on film in select cities (tickets here). This should be a great time!
