Alrighty you out there. You are to take this one as complete RUMOR stuff. I know noone that has taken a glimpse of this script, though I know many that are dying to, including myself. Paul Thomas Anderson is simply one of the many cool people in film we have to keep our eyes on. Right now, he's got a lot of fans that are dying to hear any details on his projects, and well.... this is a tiny teensy bitsy rumored detail. If you know the scoop, let me know, ok?

Greetings, oh great geek. Just wanted to pass on a small bit on info I recently got about Paul Thomas Anderson's highly anticipated MAGNOLIA. A friend of mine got a look at the script and said that the pages he read involved undercover policeman. He'd also heard that Tom Cruise will play a sleazy criminal, and that it's shooting in the San Fernando Valley. Hope you can use that---I know it's really sketchy, and may not be correct--my friend has a notoriously bad memory--but info on this project is SO hard to come by....As they say in this part of the world, it's locked up tighter then a crab's behind.
