Leonardo DiCaprio fights many battles in the trailer for Paul Thomas Anderson‘s latest film, One Battle After Another.
DiCaprio shared the film’s trailer to his own brand-new YouTube channel on Thursday.
The new movie comes to theaters and IMAX screens on Sept. 26. It was filmed on 35mm film while using VistaVision cameras and marks the first collaboration between Anderson and DiCaprio.
While exact plot details for the film remain unknown, it’s said to be partially inspired by the 1990 Thomas Pynchon novel Vineland.
DiCaprio plays Bob Ferguson, a revolutionary who is looking to save his daughter. In the trailer, DiCaprio’s Bob cannot remember the answer to the question, “What time is it?”
He desperately says through the phone, “I cannot remember for the life of my only child the answer to your question.”
“Maybe you should have studied the rebellion text a little harder,” the voice on the other side of the phone says back.
The trailer ends with Bob yelling “Viva la revolución” to Benicio del Toro‘s sensei character before escaping.
Anderson wrote and directed One Battle After Another for Warner Bros. Pictures.
Regina Hall, Teyana Taylor, Sean Penn, Alana Haim, Wood Harris, Shayna McHayle and Chase Infiniti also star in the upcoming film.

Kyle MacLachlan is paying tribute to his longtime collaborator and friend David Lynch, who died at age 78, his family announced on Facebook Thursday.
In a photo carousel shared to Instagram, MacLachlan posted pictures of himself with the acclaimed director alongside a lengthy caption.
“Forty-two years ago, for reasons beyond my comprehension, David Lynch plucked me out of obscurity to star in his first and last big budget movie. He clearly saw something in me that even I didn’t recognize. I owe my entire career, and life really, to his vision,” MacLachlan began his tribute.
“What I saw in him was an enigmatic and intuitive man with a creative ocean bursting forth inside of him. He was in touch with something the rest of us wish we could get to,” MacLachlan wrote. “Our friendship blossomed on Blue Velvet and then Twin Peaks and I always found him to be the most authentically alive person I’d ever met.”
The actor then detailed how in tune Lynch was with the universe, and that he was not interested in finding answers and instead focused on asking questions, because they “are the drive that make us who we are.”
“While the world has lost a remarkable artist, I’ve lost a dear friend who imagined a future for me and allowed me to travel in worlds I could never have conceived on my own,” MacLachlan wrote. “I can see him now, standing up to greet me in his backyard, with a warm smile and big hug and that Great Plains honk of a voice. We’d talk coffee, the joy of the unexpected, the beauty of the world, and laugh. His love for me and mine for him came out of the cosmic fate of two people who saw the best things about themselves in each other.”
MacLachlan ended his tribute by saying he will miss Lynch more than the limits of language can tell and that his heart can bear.
“My world is that much fuller because I knew him and that much emptier now that he’s gone,” MacLachlan wrote. “David, I remain forever changed, and forever your Kale. Thank you for everything.”
Wendy Williams discussed the latest on her recent hospital visit and her guardianship with The View.
In an interview that aired Friday, Williams said she needed a “breath of fresh air” when, according to sources, she was taken by ambulance Monday from an assisted living facility in Midtown Manhattan to Mount Sinai West hospital.
“I just needed a breath of fresh air. I needed to see the doctors,” Williams told host Joy Behar about her decision to go to the hospital. “While I was at the hospital, I also got blood drawn for my thyroid, but most importantly, at the hospital, it was my choice to get an independent evaluation on my incapacitation. Which I don’t have it.”
Williams has been in a court-ordered guardianship since 2022. In February 2024, a press release from Williams and her medical team revealed that in 2023 she was diagnosed with primary progressive aphasia and frontotemporal dementia, which according to the National Institute on Aging currently has no cure or treatments to slow its progression.
Williams spoke on Friday about her past struggles with substance abuse, saying she is “easily going on with my life alcohol free” these days.
After visiting the hospital on Monday, she said she had dinner with her niece, who had flown in to visit her, before returning to her assisted living facility. “Why am I here … where people don’t remember anything?” she asked, referring to her current living area on the memory unit floor. “I stay in the bedroom the majority of the time,” she said, adding that she is not permitted to have friends visit her without permission.
A statement from the lawyer for Williams’ guardian provided to TMZ on March 11 was read to Williams on The View. The statement said the guardianship was created by a judge who declared Williams legally incapacitated after the frontotemporal dementia diagnosis.
The lawyer claimed Williams has not been kept from her family and that she is receiving excellent medical care.
Ginalisa Monterroso, a health care advocate who joined the interview with Williams, explained that the guardianship first came about to protect Williams’ money.
“I didn’t mind it at that time … but at this point in my life, I want to terminate [the] guardianship and move on with my life, if that’s possible at all,” Williams added.
In response to Williams’ recent media appearances, in which she says she is not incapacitated, her guardian sent a letter to the court requesting that Williams have another comprehensive evaluation to assess her mental capacity. That request was granted by the judge in early March, and the results are expected sometime this spring.
