There Will Be Blood


There Will Be Blood is a film adapted by Paul Thomas Anderson from the novel Oil produced and directed by Thomas Anderson. The film was scheduled for a limited release on December 26, 2007.

The movie centers on a character Daniel Plainview, played by Daniel Day Lewis who starts out as a simple silver miner, that happens upon oil in his silver efforts. Fast forward a few years and he's made himself a pretty rich man, a wise and shrewd business/oil man, that gets to the point to where he'll step over anyone to get what he wants. The studio describes it as a story about family, greed, religion, and oil, centered around a turn-of-the-century Texas prospector (Daniel Day-Lewis) in the early days of the business.
