When it was originally announced that Alana Haim would star in Paul Thomas Anderson’s most recent film, “Licorice Pizza,” folks were a bit skeptical of her acting chops considering she’s best known as a musician in the band Haim. However, those doubts were proven wrong when the film came out and Haim turned in a great performance.

Haim singer, who previously made her acting debut in Paul Thomas Anderson’s 2021 film Licorice Pizza, has started production on The Mastermind, an art heist drama starring Josh O’Connor and The Drama, which also stars Zendaya and Robert Pattinson.The former is set during the Vietnam War and the beginning of the women’s liberation movement in America, according to The Hollywood Reporter.The latter meanwhile, focuses on a couple, played by Zendaya and Pattinson, who in the days leading up to their wedding, end up in a crisis when unexpected revelations derail what one of them thought they knew of the other.Haim’s latest roles come after it was confirmed earlier this year that she is set reunite with Paul Thomas Anderson on his next movie alongside lead stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Penn and Regina Hall.Anderson has written the script and will produce with Sara Murphy and Adam Somner, both of whom worked with the director on Licorice Pizza.Reviewing Licorice Pizza, NME awarded the 2021 movie four stars and wrote: “Casting two people who’ve never been in a movie before – let alone ever acted professionally – as your leads is a pretty spicy move, but Paul Thomas Anderson has been making spicy moves for decades now.“Even younger than Licorice Pizza’s downright radiant Alana Haim (yes, that Alana Haim), when he broke through with his 1997 rollicking porno-comedy Boogie Nights, the somewhat more wholesome Licorice Pizza sees PTA and his reels of vintage 35mm film freewheeling through the very same glowing San Fernando Valley streets as stalked by Dirk Diggler and making fully-fledged stars out of both Haim and her dazzling co-star, Cooper Hoffman.”
