About Movie:

The Battle of Baktan Cross is an upcoming American film, written and directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Regina Hall, Sean Penn, Alana Haim, Teyana Taylor, Wood Harris, and Benicio del Toro. The film’s score will be composed by Jonny Greenwood, marking his sixth collaboration with Anderson.

In June 2023, rumors circulated about the cast, including Joaquin Phoenix, Viggo Mortensen, and Regina Hall, before Warner Bros. Pictures secured the project. By January 2024, Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Penn, and Hall were officially confirmed, with DiCaprio reportedly earning $20 million for his role. In February 2024, additional cast members, including Alana Haim, Teyana Taylor, Wood Harris, Shayna McHayle, and Chase Infiniti, joined the production.

Filming began in California by January 22, 2024, under the working title BC Project. The crew shot for eleven days in locations across Humboldt County, including Eureka, Arcata, Cutten, and Trinidad. On February 3, the production moved to Sacramento, filming at the Sacramento County Administration Building and Courthouse.

The project sparked some controversy when a homeless encampment was cleared to make way for filming. Later, in June 2024, the production filmed on location in El Paso, Texas. The film was shot using 35 mm film and VistaVision cameras.

The Battle of Baktan Cross is scheduled to be released by Warner Bros. Pictures on August 8, 2025.
