Warner Bros. Pictures’ ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER, written, directed, and produced by Paul Thomas Anderson, will make its global streaming debut exclusively on HBO Max on FRIDAY, DECEMBER 19. The film will debut on HBO linear on SATURDAY, DECEMBER 20 at 8:00 p.m. ET. ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER leads the Golden Globes this year with nine nominations, including Best Picture – Musical/Comedy, and stars Academy Award, BAFTA, and Golden Globe winners Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Penn, and Benicio Del Toro, Regina Hall, and Golden Globe nominees Teyana Taylor and Chase Infiniti. A version of ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER with American Sign Language (ASL) will also stream exclusively on HBO Max, interpreted by Deaf ASL Interpreter Otis Jones (“Godzilla vs Kong: The New Empire with ASL,” “It: Welcome to Derry with ASL”) and directed by Giovanni Maucere (“Superman with ASL”).
Washed-up revolutionary Bob (DiCaprio) exists in a state of stoned paranoia, surviving off-grid with his spirited, self-reliant daughter, Willa (Infiniti). When his evil nemesis (Penn) resurfaces after 16 years, and she goes missing, the former radical scrambles to find her, father and daughter both battling the consequences of his past.
ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER is also produced by Oscar and BAFTA nominees Adam Somner and Sara Murphy, and Anderson, with Will Weiske executive producing. The movie, which opened September 26 and has surpassed $200 million at the global box office, has already been named Best Picture by a number of critics and won the Best Feature honor at the Gotham Awards. It is up for 14 Critics’ Choice Awards and leads all films with nine nominations for the Golden Globes. This Warner Bros entry also looks like another hot contender at the next Oscar ceremony.
The title now joins The Family McMullen, Spinal Tap II: The End Continues, and Ne Zha II as the Saturday night movies on HBO this month. However, the anime epic NE ZHA II was scheduled for December 20, and so it now must move to December 27.
Yeah, ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER doesn’t give off a Holiday vibe, but it is a hot item on most viewing lists right now, and HBO and HBO Max have got it. Enjoy!
