Leonardo DiCaprio Shows Off His ‘One Battle After Another' Tantrums in Sneak Peek of PTA's Crime Epic
Leonardo DiCaprio returned to the CinemaCon stage on Tuesday to present Paul Thomas Anderson's crime epic 'One Battle After Another.''He's tapped into something politically and culturally that has burrowed beneath our psyche. But it also a film that is so epic in scope and scale,' he said alongside Teyana Taylor and Regina Hall, who play two fellow fighters in a revolutionary group that reunites for the first time in 16 years to rescue the daughter of Bob Ferguson, played by DiCaprio. In the extended sneak peek, we see DiCaprio as Bob having an anxious phone conversation as he tries to find the location of his daughter from a contact who won't reveal information if he won't 'tell the time.' He pleads and threatens and insults the contact, named Comrade Joshua, to tell him what he wants to know. 'I want your commanding officer, or I'm calling in a Grayhawk Ten,' he hisses through restrained tears into the microphone while Comrade Joshua complains that Bob is attacking him with 'noise triggers.' If you want an idea of what Bob Ferguson's like, think of DiCaprio's performance as past-his-prime Hollywood star Rick Dalton in 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,' constantly on the verge of a breakdown and trapped in a situation outside of his control no matter how many tantrums he throws. We also see a first look at Sean Penn as Colonel Steven Lockjaw, who is asked whether he has failed to protect the world as a military leader. Lockjaw coldly says that anyone who says that is a 'liar who doesn't belong in society.' Gunfights and explosions are also shown in the sneak peek of the film, which will be released in Imax 70mm and VistaVision this fall.

Leonardo DiCaprio and Paul Thomas Anderson team up for ‘One Battle After Another'
The highly anticipated film One Battle After Another, directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, has released its official trailer. Starring Leonardo DiCaprio in his first collaboration with Anderson, the film follows the actor as Bob Ferguson, a quirky revolutionary on a mission to save his daughter. Inspired by Thomas Pynchon's 1990 novel Vineland, One Battle After Another features a star-studded cast, including Regina Hall, Teyana Taylor, Sean Penn, Alana Haim, Benicio del Toro, Wood Harris, Shayna McHayle, and Chase Infiniti. The film blends dark comedy, political satire, and action, showcasing DiCaprio in a disheveled, eccentric role. The trailer begins with Bob, dressed in a bathrobe and beanie, struggling to remember codewords while using a payphone to call for backup. Benicio del Toro plays Bob's unconventional mentor, who teaches him how to live without fear—at one point, throwing him from a moving car. The trailer ends with Bob and his allies preparing for battle, shouting 'Viva la revolución!' Produced by Warner Bros., One Battle After Another was shot on 35mm film using VistaVision cameras, with filming in California and El Paso, Texas. Reports indicate a production budget between $100 million and $140 million, making it Anderson's most expensive film. This marks DiCaprio's first lead role since Killers of the Flower Moon (2023), while Anderson, an 11-time Oscar nominee, seeks his first Academy Award win. One Battle After Another hits theaters on September 26, with exclusive IMAX screenings.

Warner Bros. Sked Shakeup: ‘Weapons' Armed For August, Paul Thomas Anderson Moves To Fall, ‘The Bride' Walking Down Aisle In 2026 & So Much More…
Warner Bros has just made some razor-sharp release-date changes ahead of CinemaCon, ones that could potentially keep the Burbank, CA lot more toward the black this year than in the red. In a year when there were four $100 million-plus auteur-driven movies — one of which, Bong Joon Ho's Mickey 17, recently misfired — Warners Bros distribution has taken the pressure off the studios' schedule in that regard, and even placed a potential tentpole into the year: Zach Cregger's anticipated genre movie on August 8. More from Deadline Behind The Scenes Of Zach Cregger's Extraordinary 'Weapons' Auction & Its Aftermath: The Dish Back In Action: Five Movie Directors Making A Welcome Return In 2025 Jonah Hill Eyeing To Star & Direct 'Cut Off' For Warner Bros Cregger's next movie after Barbarian was previously scheduled for MLK weekend 2026, on January 16. What kept Warners from moving the pic starring Josh Brolin, Julia Garner and Alden Ehrenreich was that the theatrical release was tied to Imax screens — can't give up those auditoriums. In fact, what made all of the release-date changes feasible for Warners was that each was tied to Imax bookings. As one insider called the release shifts revealed Wednesday, 'we lifted and shifted.' Weapons will go toe-to-toe with Disney's female-skewing sequel Freakier Friday. The Weapons move pushes Paul Thomas Anderson's priciest movie of his career, the Leonardo DiCaprio action comedy One Battle After Another, from August 8 to September 26 (which is where Maggie Gyllenhaal's The Bride! was). It was out there in the ether that the PTA movie, which also stars Sean Penn, Benicio Del Toro and Regina Hall, would move; it just wasn't clear to where. What makes this date special is that Warners will not only have access to Imax hubs but also select theaters that play 70mm and VistaVision. Brady Corbet's 3x Oscar-winning The Brutalist shot in VistaVision. It's TBD if the PTA movie gets a fall film festival launch. Word is that it's not always his preference to launch that way, but he's done it before: His 2014 movie Inherent Vice (also a Warners release) premiered at the New York Film Festival, while 2012's The Master world premiered at Venice. PTA's latest, which reportedly costs around $140M, will now release opposite Lionsgate's Saw XI and Universal's Gabby's Dollhouse: The Movie. The Bride! now will go on March 6, 2026, putting the genre movie in a month that has been primed for tentpoles, i.e., Legendary/Warner Bros' Dune: Part Two, A24's Everything Everywhere All at Once, Warner Bros' The Batman, and Kong: Skull Island and Godzilla vs. Kong. This was the movie that Warners saved after Netflix passed on the project. Warner Bros Pictures Animation's The Cat in the Hat, from directors Alessandro Carloni and Erica Rivinoja, now rolls up one week from March 6, 2026 to February 27, 2026. That's a week before Disney/Pixar's Hoppers debuts on March 6. Also, the new date for Cat in Hat gives the family feature an advantage with some promotional opportunities overseas. Now Cat in the Hat, with a voice cast including Bill Hader, Quinta Brunson, Bowen Yang, Xochitl Gomez, Matt Berry and Paula Pell, will share the marquee with Paramount/Spyglass' Scream 7. Meanwhile, David Robert Mitchell's sci-fi movie Flowervale Street starring Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor goes from March 13, 2026 to August 14, 2026. The studio believes it's a commercial movie and has snapped up a better date to take advantage of last-minute summer audiences. Flowervale Street stands alone currently as the sole major-studio wide entry. Here's what Warner Bros' release-date schedule looks like now: March 21 — The Alto Knights April 4 — A Minecraft Movie April 18 (Easter weekend) — Sinners May 16 — Final Destination: Bloodlines June 27 — Apple Original Films' F1 July 11 — Superman August 8 — Weapons September 5 — Conjuring: Last Rites September 26 — One Battle After Another October 10 — Animal Friends October 24 — Mortal Kombat 2 November 21 — Untitled WB Event film December 19 — Untitled Event Film February 13 — Wuthering Heights February 27 — The Cat in the Hat March 6 — The Bride!

Warner Bros. drops first teaser for ‘One Battle After Another' starring Leonardo DiCaprio
Warner Bros. Pictures has released the first teaser for One Battle After Another, the highly anticipated film from writer-director Paul Thomas Anderson. Starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Regina Hall, Teyana Taylor, and Sean Penn, the film is set to hit theaters on September 26, 2025. The teaser offers a glimpse into the film's action-packed world, showing characters engaged in intense shootouts. One striking scene features Taylor's character, visibly pregnant, firing a rifle while DiCaprio's character calmly watches with a drink in hand. The teaser then jumps ahead, revealing the child grown up and mirroring her mother's actions, firing a gun of her own. 'Just when you think you got a handle on things,' a voice narrates as DiCaprio, now older with a goatee, takes aim through a gun scope. While plot details remain scarce, One Battle After Another is described as a contemporary action drama and one of Anderson's most expensive films to date, with a reported budget ranging between $100 million and $140 million. The film reunites Anderson with composer Johnny Greenwood and features supporting performances from Benicio del Toro, Wood Harris, Shayna McHayle, and Chase Infiniti. Filming began in January 2024 under the working title BC Project and primarily took place in California and El Paso, Texas. Anderson shot the film on 35mm VistaVision cameras, staying true to his signature cinematic style. With a full trailer expected next week, anticipation is building for what could be Anderson's most ambitious project yet. Stay tuned for more updates.

Leonardo DiCaprio, Paul Thomas Anderson's Untitled Movie Moves to September; "The Bride" Delayed Until March 2026
Yara Sameh Warner Bros. made some changes to its film release schedule on Wednesday, including a new date for the highly anticipated Paul Thomas Anderson next project starring Leonardo DiCaprio. Now officially titled 'One Battle After Another,' the Anderson project is shrouded in mystery but said to be an American crime thriller. Previously dated for August 8, the film will now open nationwide on September 26. Insiders familiar with the movie said the minor push comes as the studio helps outfit U.S. movie theaters with VistaVision projection systems to accommodate their director's vision. A move out of August to late September also squeaks 'One Battle' out of the summer box office season and places it closer to the awards corridor, Anderson's natural habitat. (A studio source noted that auteur-driven films with commercial appeal play well in this zone, citing 'Gravity' and 'A Star is Born'). DiCaprio will costar with Sean Penn, Benicio Del Toro, Regina Hall, and Teyana Taylor. Elsewhere on the Warners slate, Maggie Gyllenhaal's 'The Bride!' will see a notable push from this September to March 6, 2026. Christian Bale and Jessie Buckley star in a steampunk twist on Frankenstein's monster and his spouse, a film that will now receive a theatrical rollout far away from Guillermo del Toro's own Frankenstein take starring Jacob Elordi (set to release on Netflix this November). Insiders note that March has been favorable to the studio's tentpoles in recent years, including the 'Dune' franchise and Legendary's monster movies. Director Zach Cregger's follow-up to his successful horror feature 'Barbarian' had previously been set for a January 2026 release. Officially titled 'Weapons,' the multi-story horror epic starring Josh Brolin and Julia Garner will come much earlier, with a new date of August 8 (the original date for 'One Battle After Another'). The pull-up would suggest a vote of confidence in Cregger's latest, which will screen footage for global theater owners at the end of the month at Las Vegas' CinemaCon. 'Weapons' will now open a week after 'Together,' Neon's splashy Sundance horror acquisition starring Dave Franco and Alison Brie. Another mystery project, 'Flowervale Street' starring Anne Hathaway, Ewan McGregor and Maisy Stella, has moved from March 2026 to August 14, 2026. Little is known about the movie helmed by David Robert Mitchell ('It Follows') and produced by J.J. Abrams, save that it's set in the '80s and follows a family noticing bizarre happenings in their quaint neighborhood. Finally, Warner Bros. Animation will unleash 'The Cat in the Hat' two weeks earlier than planned, settling on February 27 next year. Featuring the voices of Bill Hader and Quinta Brunson, the Seuss adaptation now gets some distance from the Pixar movie 'Hoppers,' set to open a week later. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Egypt confirms denial of airspace access to US B-52 bombers News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Lifestyle Pistachio and Raspberry Cheesecake Domes Recipe Videos & Features Bouchra Dahlab Crowned Miss Arab World 2025 ..
