Academy Award nominee Paul Thomas Anderson’s next film may have found its lead. According to The Hollywood Reporter Academy Award nominee, Bradley Cooper is in talks to join the coming-of-age drama set in the San Fernando Valley during the 1970s.

Anderson is teaming up with MGM for the film after initially developing the untitled drama at Focus Features, which released Academy Award nominee, Phantom Thread in 2017.

Originally, production on Anderson’s new film was set to take place this spring and summer, until the COVID-19 pandemic halted filming indefinitely.

The script for the film is reportedly about a high school student in the San Fernando Valley who is also a child actor and is to combine the 1970s Valley setting of Boogie Nights and the structure of Magnolia.
