A new teaser for One Battle After Another, Paul Thomas Anderson’s highly anticipated Warner Bros. film starring Leonardo DiCaprio, has arrived. Titled “Bad Hombre,” the action-packed teaser gives viewers their biggest glimpse yet of what to expect from Anderson’s dark comedy thriller, which is scheduled to arrive in theaters on September 26. While the film’s plot has been mostly kept under wraps, the general synopsis on IMDb reads: “When their evil enemy resurfaces after 16 years, a group of ex-revolutionaries reunite to rescue one of their own’s daughter.” Alongside DiCaprio, the star-studded cast also features Benicio del Toro, Sean Penn, Regina Hall, Wood Harris, Alana Haim, and Teyana Taylor. The movie is loosely inspired by Thomas Pynchon’s 1990 novel Vineland, which is familiar ground for Anderson; the 11-time Oscar nominee previously adapted Pynchon’s 2009 book Inherent Vice into a starring vehicle for Joaquin Phoenix in 2014. The film is also notably the first of Anderson’s films to be released in IMAX.
