“There Will Be Blood” and “No Country for Old Men”
July 21st, 2008“This film [There Will Be Blood] was the second co-production of Paramount Vantage and Miramax Films to be released in as many months, after No Country for Old Men (which won the Academy Award for Best Picture).”
Interesting. I wonder if it was the same executive or executive team that green-lit and shepherded these two projects. Someone should have received a promotion. One movie gets Best Actor (Blood, Day-Lewis) and the other Best Picture. Another detail: Both films had budgets of $25 million and made over $70 mil (to date).
