Inherent Vice Trailer

Doc Sportello (Joaquin Phoenix) is a private investigator living in Los Angeles during the tail end of the 1960s. When his ex-girlfriend, Shasta Fay Hepworth (Katherine Waterston) reappears one day, she drags him into a complex series of events which will shatter his calm and quite life, and force him into a dangerously hilarious game involving murderous loan sharks, surfers, hustlers, dopers and the mysterious 'Golden Fang'. Her request, such as it is, is to help her new boyfriend, Mickey Wolfmann (Eric Roberts) from a plot by his wife Sloane (Serena Scott Thomas) and her boyfriend which will send Wolfmaan to the 'loony bin'. As if that wasn't complex enough, things are only going to get worse for Sportello, as the 70s are fast approaching and ready to turn his life upside down. 

In an adaptation of the Thomas Pynchon novel of the same name, 'Inherent Vice' sees Paul Thomas Anderson ('Boogie Nights', 'There Will Be Blood') in his seventh directorial feature film working as screenwriter, producer and director. The movie will serve as the first film adaptation of a Pynchon novel, and is set to see a release date in January, 2015, as distributed by Warner Brothers.
