First Official Image from P.T. Anderson’s Inherent Vice

Although the world premiere of P.T. Anderson’s next film Inherent Vice is a little over a month away, most of us will have to wait until at least December to see it. At this point I think we’re all desperate for any little glimpse of the film, and this week Entertainment Weekly has obliged us by unveiling the first official still in their latest issue. Based on Thomas Pynchon’s 2009 novel, it has been described as an “art house stoner detective comedy” and people who have seen the movie claim that it contains a lot of broad humour, even reaching The Naked Gun and Airplane levels of ridiculousness. While this first image doesn’t necessarily support that, both Joaquin Phoenix and Josh Brolin do have some pretty killer haircuts. Inherent Vice hits select theatres on Dec. 12th; check out the first photo after the jump and see what you think.

    This film is gonna kick all sorts of ass. Also on a side note P.T. Anderson and Jay Cheel could be brothers. Striking similarity.

    I was thinking Kenneth Branaugh for resemblance, but maybe he’s the older 3rd brother. Never read the novel but this seems to have shades of Altman’s adaptation of The Long Goodbye. Liking the idea!

    I remember someone making that comparison before in the podcast. It’s uncanny!
