How novel is the idea that Paul Thomas Anderson, who is currently rolling in the glory of “There Will Be Blood’s” multiple Oscar nominations, might be contemplating a horror film as his next movie? Well that’s the rumor coming out of Bloody-Disgusting, who got wind of the notion from a “well-trusted insider”, so you know it must be true. Right?

We learned from a well-trusted insider that the brilliant Paul Thomas Anderson - who is looking like a solid contender for an Oscar with his astounding film There Will Be Blood - is seriously contemplating making his next project a HORROR film. As of right now the project is just a thought that has yet to be put down on paper, but hopefully in the next few months or so a decision will be made.

A Paul Thomas Anderson horror flick would probably look something like Stanley Kubrick’s “The Shining”, I would imagine. Not that that’s a bad thing.
