First Teaser for PTA’s Movie ‘One Battle After Another’ Featuring DiCaprio

“What are you going to do about this baby?” Exciting news! Warner Bros has just released a brief teaser trailer for Paul Thomas Anderson’s upcoming film, One Battle After Another, a sci-fi thriller from the renowned director. This teaser serves as a precursor to the full trailer, which is set to drop next week. Additionally, Warner Bros has announced a new release date: the film will hit theaters on September 26th, coinciding with the start of the fall movie season.

While a complete synopsis is not yet available (the film was previously titled The Battle of Baktan Cross), we do have a compelling one-liner: When their malevolent adversary resurfaces after 16 years, a group of former revolutionaries must come together once more to save the daughter of one of their own. The film stars Leonardo DiCaprio in the lead role, alongside a talented cast that includes Regina Hall, Sean Penn, Alana Haim, Teyana Taylor, Wood Harris, Benicio del Toro, and Shayna McHayle.

This project marks the sixth collaboration between Anderson and composer Jonny Greenwood, as well as the fifth and final collaboration with first assistant director Adam Somner, who sadly passed away in November 2024. Notably, this will be the first PTA film to receive a full IMAX release, with a substantial budget exceeding $100 million—an impressive investment for a Paul Thomas Anderson studio film! While the teaser offers limited visuals, it certainly sets the stage for what promises to be an exceptional cinematic experience.

Inspired by Thomas Pynchon’s postmodern 1990 novel, Vineland, the film follows a group of ex-revolutionaries who reunite to rescue the daughter of one of their own when their evil enemy resurfaces after 16 years. One Battle After Another, formerly known as The Battle of Baktan Cross, Desert Highway, or BC Project, is both written and directed by the acclaimed filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson, known for his previous works including Hard Eight, Boogie Nights, Magnolia, Punch-Drunk Love, There Will Be Blood, The Master, Inherent Vice, Phantom Thread, and Licorice Pizza, along with various shorts and music videos. Produced by Sara Murphy, Adam Somner, and Paul Thomas Anderson, this film may make its debut at an upcoming film festival this summer, although no official announcements have been made yet. Warner Bros is set to release One Battle After Another in theaters nationwide starting September 26th, 2025. Who’s excited for this? It looks promising!
