DiCaprio and Anderson Unite with Guns Blazing in First Footage
Warner has released the first teaser for One Battle After Another, the latest from writer-director P.T. Anderson, starring DiCaprio, Regina Hall, Teyana Taylor and Sean Penn.
Anderson’s latest film since 2021’s critically acclaimed “Licorice Pizza” will get released in theaters on Sept. 26, 2025.,
The short teaser arrives before a full trailer next week.
It mainly shows the characters firing off several guns in a field, with Taylor’s character pregnant and shooting off a rifle as DiCaprio sips a drink and watches.
The baby arrives in the next scene, and the narrator asks, “What are you gonna do about this baby?” Immediately, the teaser cuts to the grown-up child firing a rifle just like her mother.
The only details as to the film’s plot were that it has a “contemporary setting” and that it’s an ensemble piece, but even before any story was revealed, rumors were already circulating that the film would be Anderson’s most expensive.
“One Battle After Another” was rumored to cost upwards of $100 million, with the most recent number $140 million.
The film began principal photography under the working title “BC Project” in January 2024 in California, where the majority of Anderson’s films take place. “One Battle After Another” was shot on 35 mm film using VistaVision cameras.
