The first trailer and poster for the crime comedy "Inherent Vice" have been released. Directed by Paul Thomas Anderson ("There Will Be Blood") and based on Thomas Pynchon's novel, the film stars Joaquin Phoenix as private eye Doc Sportello who becomes involved in a 1960s conspiracy that is, according to the official synopsis, "part surf noir, part psychedelic romp". The trailer does feature some unexpectedly funny moments, making this the closest to a comedy that Anderson has ever done since "Punch Drunk Love". The film also stars Josh Brolin, Owen Wilson, Katherine Waterston, Reese Witherspoon, Benicio Del Toro, Martin Short, Jena Malone and Joanna Newsom.

"Inherent Vice" opens in theaters on December 12th.

Watch the trailer and poster after the jump.

Official Synopsis
"“Inherent Vice” is the seventh feature from Paul Thomas Anderson and the first ever film adaption of a Thomas Pynchon novel. When private eye Doc Sportello’s ex-old lady suddenly out of nowhere shows up with a story about her current billionaire land developer boyfriend whom she just happens to be in love with, and a plot by his wife and her boyfriend to kidnap that billionaire and throw him in a looney bin…well, easy for her to say. It’s the tail end of the psychedelic `60s and paranoia is running the day and Doc knows that “love” is another of those words going around at the moment, like “trip” or “groovy,” that’s being way too overused – except this one usually leads to trouble. With a cast of characters that includes surfers, hustlers, dopers and rockers, a murderous loan shark, LAPD Detectives, a tenor sax player working undercover, and a mysterious entity known as the Golden Fang, which may only be a tax dodge set up by some dentists… Part surf noir, part psychedelic romp – all Thomas Pynchon."
