Production
In June 2023, Paul Thomas Anderson's film, rumored to star Joaquin Phoenix, Viggo Mortensen, and Regina Hall, found its home at Warner Bros. Pictures. In January 2024, Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Penn and Hall were confirmed to star. In February 2024, Alana Haim, Teyana Taylor, Wood Harris, Shayna McHayle, and Chase Infiniti joined the cast. DiCaprio earned $20 million for his role.

Filming had begun in California by January 22, 2024. The film, under the working title BC Project, filmed for 11 days across Humboldt County, in Eureka, Arcata, Cutten, and Trinidad. On February 3, the production moved to Sacramento, with filming at the Sacramento County Administration Building and Sacramento County Courthouse. Some controversy was generated when a homeless encampment was cleared to allow for filming. On-location filming also took place in El Paso, Texas, in June 2024. The project was shot on 35mm film using VistaVision cameras.

Jonny Greenwood will compose the film's music, marking six feature film collaborations between him and Anderson.

Release
The untitled film will be released on August 8, 2025. It will be the first of Anderson's films to be released in IMAX.
