30 Most Hotly Anticipated Movies Still To Come In 2017 - Ranked
17. The Phantom Thread
Release Date: December 25th
Billed As:
The latest collaboration between Daniel Day-Lewis and Paul Thomas Anderson, with the added kicker of Day-Lewis claiming it's his last ever movie. Even without any mention of plot, that is enough.
Hype:
It's not the usual intense material you'd expect from Day-Lewis, necessarily, as he's playing real world fashion icon Charles James - known as America's first couturier.
His story begins in Britain, where he was expelled from Harrow after a "sexual escapade" and takes him to Long Island in 1928, where he arrived with just 70 cents, a car and some hats as his only possessions. It's the ultimate rags to riches story, with lots of hats and dresses - and the very fact that it seems such an odd story fit for Anderson and Day-Lewis is what makes it so intriguing.
