As I wait for my Amazon order of The New World and the Criterion Collection’s Days of Heaven DVDs to arrive in the next few days, there is news of Terrence Malick’s next movie Tree of Life with Heath Ledger and Sean Penn.
Depending on which incarnation of the script he is working from, it could be:
- A multi-character drama about the Middle East during World War I, sort of like Magnolia meets Lawrence of Arabia.
- AÂ movie about prehistoric times featuring a minotaur.
- Both - as the script was originally intended as Q back in the 70’s before Malick bounced.
- Or none because as we know, a script in Malick’s case usually has little to nothing to do with the finished project.
Since PT Anderson seems to be doing his best impression of Malick with There Will be Blood, I’m hoping that Malick returns the favor and weaves a complex tapestry of life in the Mid-East circa 1915.
