While the Oscar season is still a few months away, there seems to be an abundance of excitement and confidence in the upcoming Paul Thomas Anderson film, Phantom Thread. The film is sure to cause an Oscar stir as the film will be the final performance in the wonderful career of quite possibly the best actor working today, Daniel Day-Lewis. Now there is news that will add to the excitement and anticipation for this film.
According to Indiewire, Paul Thomas Anderson will be pulling double duty and will not only be the director but the cinematographer as well. Indiewire also notes that when the film hits theaters later this year, it will not be doing so under the title of Phantom Thread and is nothing more than a placeholder of sorts for now.
While Anderson is far from the first director to pull double duty as a cinematographer. Steven Soderbergh has been shooting his own films for years. The fact that PTA does not make films consistently makes this news not only exciting but certainly ups its chances come to Oscar Season.
