Back in December 2010, we reported that writer-director Paul Thomas
Anderson was considering an adaptation of Thomas Pynchon‘s Inherent
Vice possibly starring Robert Downey Jr. as pothead private detective
Larry “Doc” Sportello.  In 2011, Anderson tried to get financing for
Vice along with his upcoming film The Master, which recently premiered
at the Venice Film Festival, play at TIFF, and then open in limited
release on September 14th.  Anderson has now turned his attention back
to Inherent Vice and is currently working on the script.

Pynchon novel on Anderson’s radar.

Gravity’s Rainbow, which won the 1974 National Book Award for Fiction.
