First trailer for Paul Thomas Anderson’s Inherent Vice

Paul Thomas Anderson’s upcoming adaptation of Thomas Pynchon’s novel Inherent Vice might just be the craziest, and best thing to come out this year. Just by looking at this trailer with its unique style, stupidly talented cast (Joaquin Phoenix, Josh Brolin, Benecio Del Toro, Reese Witherspoon, Jena Malone, Owen Wilson, Katherine Waterson, and Martin Short!), and it’s great feeling vibe overall. 

There might be something sinister underneath, but this is a great first look. Starring Phoenix as a muttonchopped private eye who gets roped into stopping a kidnapping by his ex, I can’t wait to see what else lurks. Inherent Vice releases December 12th.
