Rian Johnson Interviews Paul Thomas Anderson About ‘Phantom Thread’

If you’re looking for some distraction from the Disney/Fox chatter (that will be going for some time yet), and eager to keep away from any “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” spoilers, there’s 32 minutes you can’t miss it.

Rian Johnson sat down with Paul Thomas Anderson in Los Angeles on December 2nd to discuss “Phantom Thread.” Johnson has already gone on record about his admiration of Daniel Day-Lewis‘ final movie, here he gets to go deep. The engaging talk sees Anderson discuss the genesis of the picture, developing it with Day-Lewis, the inspiration of classic Gothic romance movies like “Rebecca,” and waiting until after filming wraps to really dive into the editing process. It’s all fascinating stuff, and the pair are a true delight to listen to.

“Phantom Thread” opens in limited release on Christmas Day.
