Cooper Hoffman (17), the son of the late Oscar winner Philip Seymour Hoffman (1967-2014), like his father, is dedicated to acting. The 17-year-old will take on the leading role in Paul Thomas Anderson's (50) previously unnamed new film. The coming-of-age story about a child actor takes place in the 1970s in the San Fernando Valley and comprises several storylines, reports the Hollywood Reporter, among others.
The singer-songwriter Alana Haim (28) takes on the female lead. Another famous name of the ensemble: Bradley Cooper (45, "A Star Is Born"). It will be the acting debut for both the Haim singer and the young Hoffman. Philip Seymour Hoffman had worked with director Paul Thomas Anderson several times during his lifetime, for example in the films "The Master" (2012), "Punch-Drunk Love" (2002), "Magnolia" (1999) or "Boogie Nights" (1997) .
