P.T. Anderson - his next film

Paul Thomas Anderson seems to be planning a new film based
on Upton Sinclair's book "Oil!". The title of the film is
supposedly "There Will Be Blood" and it will star Daniel
Day-Lewis. There is a 130 page script written by Anderson
and he is still trying to get financing for the film.

This is where I found the info.

i'd imagine a PTA script page last significantly longer than
a normal hollywood script page... which means this one's
probably gonna be another 3 hour long epic-type dealie... i
hope it's cool

130 pages is about an hour to a half to two hours.

Paul Anderson is a fuckwad man. Anyone who can't make a
movie of an awesome franchise like ALIENS VS PREDATOR is a
complete fucking wad of cum on my sweat pants.

If we are talking about the same Paul Anderson, he ruins
movies.

i've always heard people say that one page tends to equal
one minute... but that's doesn't take into account PTA's
specific fondness for equal parts gushy dialogue a swoopy
silent long-takes so um: hence the part i already said.

Yeah... a page a minute is average, but with the final cut,
what ends up happening is a lot of those parts get written
out and edited, so as far as I know, it ends up being more
like 1.1 page = minute or so. But for the purposes of
selling movie ideas to companies and investors, a page a
minute is about the rule of thumb. Also, with more dialogue,
the page per minute quotient gets raised. Of course, I am no
expert either.
