Daniel Day-Lewis Is Out for Blood

Gay super-producer Scott Rudin (The Hours, The Queen) has always been very savvy about backing the best talent that the movies have to offer.

His slate of upcoming productions includes new films from the likes of Alan Ball, Wes Anderson, and Kimberly Peirce.

But most exciting to fans of Magnolia and Boogie Nights, Rudin is bringing director Paul Thomas Anderson back to the big screen with the upcoming There Will Be Blood, starring Daniel Day-Lewis.

Based on Upton Sinclair's novel Oil!, Blood takes a sweeping (dare we say Giant?) look at the early days of the oil business through the eyes of one Texas family.

With a supporting cast that includes Paul Dano (Little Miss Sunshine), the epic promises to be one of the year's most talked-about movies when it hits theaters this Thanksgiving.
