Warner Bros. Pictures has released a teaser for its upcoming film “One Battle After Another,” directed by Paul Thomas Anderson and starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Regina Hall, Teyana Taylor, Sean Penn, and Alana Haim. The teaser shows the characters in an intense gunfight scene, with Taylor’s pregnant character shooting her rifle as DiCaprio watches. The scene shifts to a young woman firing a rifle, mirroring her mother’s action.
Anderson’s latest film follows “Licorice Pizza,” which lost tens of millions of dollars despite its positive critical reception. “One Battle After Another” is expected to be Anderson’s most expensive film yet, with estimated costs ranging from $100 million to $140 million. The film was shot on 35mm film using VistaVision cameras and features a star-studded ensemble cast.
The teaser arrives before the full trailer next week and gives fans a glimpse into the film’s complex plot, which takes place in a contemporary setting. Anderson has collaborated with composer Johnny Greenwood for the sixth time and first assistant director Adam Somner on this project, marking their fifth collaboration.
Anderson’s latest endeavor promises to be an intense drama, but some critics worry that the ensemble cast may lead to a “too-many-stars” scenario, similar to some of Martin Scorsese’s films. However, the teaser has already generated buzz among fans, who are eager to see how the story unfolds.
