Official Trailer for PT Anderson’s Adaptation of “Inherent Vice” Arrives!

September 30, 2014 by TPmaster Leave a Comment

Inherent-Vice-feet-posterToday, Sunday, September 29, 2014, Warner Bros. released the Official Trailer for Paul Thomas Anderson’s adaptation of Thomas Pynchon’s Inherent Vice, as well as a poster (at left; click to enlarge).

Odd that the trailer features Sly Stone’s “I Want To Take You Higher” (1969) and Sam Cooke’s “Wonderful World” (1960), neither of which was namechecked in Pynchon’s Inherent Vice, and there were a LOT of 1960’s/1970’s tunes namechecked in that novel!

Judging from the trailer, the film is a slapstick affair, wacky and well lit…. Boom shaka laka laka!

About ThomasPynchon.com

ThomasPynchon.com (formerly the HyperArts Pynchon Pages) came online in 1997. With the publication of Against the Day in 2007, the alphabetical guides to Pynchon's novels were migrated to the Pynchon Wikis.

This website is affiliated with neither Mr Pynchon nor his representatives; rather, it's aligned with the community of folks who enjoy reading Pynchon's work — and digging deeper.
