DiCaprio-Anderson Film Teaser Reveals Gunfight Narrative

Paul Thomas Anderson's upcoming film, 'One Battle After Another,' starring Leonardo DiCaprio, has released its first teaser, revealing a gunfight-driven narrative inspired by Thomas Pynchon's novel 'Vineland.' The teaser depicts a story spanning generations, with DiCaprio and Teyana Taylor involved in a dramatic gun battle, while a voiceover poses the question, 'What are you gonna do about this baby?' as scenes transition from a newborn to a grown woman with a rifle. The film, set for a September 26, 2025 release, features an ensemble cast including Sean Penn, Regina Hall, and Benicio del Toro, and marks Anderson's return since his 2021 project 'Licorice Pizza.' The production, backed by Warner Bros. with a substantial budget, aims for a global theatrical release, projected to require $300 million in ticket sales to be profitable.
