Sacramento-shot Leonardo DiCaprio feature film has a name and a 2025 release date
Leonardo DiCaprio's Sacramento-shot thriller has a name and a slated 2025 release date, say reports.
"The Battle of Batkan Cross" is set for an August 2025 theatrical release, according to IMDB .
The film shoot took over sections of downtown Sacramento in February , including the Kimpton Sawyer Hotel on J Street and Gordon Schaber Sacramento County Courthouse, with fans hoping to catch a glimpse of director Paul Thomas Anderson, DiCaprio and crew.
The project by Anderson — known for "Licorice Pizza," "There Will Be Blood," "Magnolia," and "Boogie Nights," among others — is said to be a return to the works of novelist Thomas Pynchon.
The film reportedly adapts Pynchon's novel Vineland for the Northern California-set crime thriller. Anderson's "Inherent Vice" (2014) starred Joaquin Phoenix and Josh Brolin.
Academy Award-winners DiCaprio and Sean Penn are joined in the Warner Bros. picture, for months known only as "The BC Project" during filming, by Regina Hall and Tenaya Taylor.
