They're Shooting IV

[Al Haidar]

After Punch-Drunk Love, I think PTA deserves the benefit of the doubt when
it comes to casting.  I'm more interested to see how the adaptation of IV
will fit into Anderson's filmography overall. He swore in interviews that
he didn't see The Master as a father-son story, and yet ... there it was,
another PTA film thick with estrangement between fathers and sons. It
always thrills me to see a new film from someone whose work is clearly
dealing with real and deeply personal themes, not merely dictated by the
box office or cinematic style du jour. How that will play out with a
collaborator like Pynchon (by way of his writing, anyways) is exciting
enough to me that I'm fighting the urge to be pre-disappointed with (some
of) the casting.
