On the day his newest film, “There Will Be Blood,” tied for highest Oscar-nominated film with eight nominations, Bloody Disgusting [1] is reporting:

We learned from a well-trusted insider that the brilliant Paul Thomas Anderson - who is looking like a solid contender for an Oscar with his astounding film There Will Be Blood - is seriously contemplating making his next project a HORROR film. As of right now the project is just a thought that has yet to be put down on paper, but hopefully in the next few months or so a decision will be made.

The notable quote is that it “has yet to be put down on paper.” PTA is a notably slow but dedicated writer, who isn’t one to have his name attached to abandoned films.
