Teyana Taylor and Leonardo DiCaprio were both spotted filming a scene for Paul Thomas Anderson’s upcoming untitled film. TMZ obtained footage of the two on set together from Saturday in downtown Sacramento. The two rocked business attire in the scene while walking into a high-rise building.

While little is known about the highly-anticipated project, the costume designs make the film appear to be set in the modern day. This would make it Anderson’s first to do so since 2002’s Punch-Drunk Love. In the years since, he’s released There Will Be Blood, The Master, Inherent Vice, Phantom Thread, and Licorice Pizza. In addition to Taylor and DiCaprio, the cast features Sean Penn, Regina Hall, Wood Harris, Alana Haim, and Junglepussy. After the cast was announced, Junglepussy wrote on Twitter: “BEING CAST IN A FILM LIKE THIS IS NOT NORMAL FOR AN ARTIST LIKE ME GOTTA PAT MYSELF ON THE BACK.”

In other Teyana Taylor news, she recently made headlines for calling out TMZ over the outlet’s coverage of her divorce from Iman Shumpert. “Y’all really be taking it too far with these d*mn misleading headlines and I’m tired of it!” she wrote on her Instagram Story. “Every time I turn around it’s either half leaked and made up stories, or words being twisted up for clickbait!!!!” The outlet had just covered a report that her WiFi and cable had been cut off and that she hadn’t been receiving any financial support from Shumpert.

The post Teyana Taylor & Leonardo DiCaprio Film Scene For New Movie appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

Teyana Taylor might have teased a potential return to music as recently as a month ago but it looks like movies remain her primary focus. According to The Hollywood Reporter, she recently secured a new role in Paul Thomas Anderson’s as-yet-untitled new movie along with pop-punk-singer-turned-Thomas-muse Alana Haim, who made her film debut in Thomas’ 2021 film Licorice Pizza.

Wood Harris, Shayna McHayle, and young Broadway actor Chase Infiniti were also added to the cast, which already included Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Penn, and Regina Hall. Licorice Pizza co-producers Sara Murphy and Adam Somner are again co-producing here along with Thomas, who also wrote the script.

Taylor’s other recent films include Hulu’s White Men Can’t Jump remake with Jack Harlow and the crticially acclaimed A Thousand And One, which holds a 97% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and an 85% audience score. It looks like she’s certainly receiving the recognition in acting that she felt she wasn’t getting in music, which is both heartening (yay for recognition) and disappointing (she should have been praised before this).

Meanwhile, Alana and her sisters spent most of last year enjoying their leg of Taylor Swift’s Eras tour. Unfortunately, Haim has also had to face an unfair share of musical criticism, repeatedly refuting misogynistic claims that they don’t play their instruments live. Fortunately, no one can say Alana isn’t acting for herself when she appears in the film, which is already in production.
