The plot of the next film by secretive director Anderson is being kept under wraps. But according to The Hollywood Reporter, the coming-of-age movie will involve multiple storylines centering on a teen actor in high school in the Valley.

The film was meant to start shooting this summer, but was delayed because of the coronavirus pandemic, and has moved from Universal’s Focus Features to MGM.

Anderson will attempt a fall production start. His past films set in the Valley include “Punch Drunk Love,” “Boogie Nights” and “Magnolia.”

Cooper was in the midst of filming Guillermo Del Toro’s “Nightmare Alley” when the pandemic hit, and production is expected to resume. As a director, Cooper is reportedly following up his hit debut, “A Star Is Born,” with a Leonard Bernstein biopic for Netflix — with producers including Martin Scorsese, Steven Spielberg and “Joker” director Todd Phillips.

Cooper’s rep did not immediately get back to us.
