Paul Dano will star opposite Daniel Day-Lewis in Paul Thomas Anderson's (Punch Drunk Love) drama There Will Be Blood. Dano, still riding high on the wake of his Sundance Film Festival hit Little Miss Sunshine, is set to play a gifted and charismatic young preacher who captivates churchgoers. Day-Lewis (Gangs of New York) will portray a tycoon who strikes it rich after gaining oil rights to a family's ranch, turning the small town where Dano's character preaches into a boomtown. Although Anderson is shrouding the turn of the century period piece in secrecy, further reports state that Mary Elizabeth Barrett and David Willis are set to join the cast, though neither are attached as yet. The film is loosely based on Upton Sinclair's 1927 novel Oil!
