Last year, we learned that Joanna Newsom would play a role in the movie Inherent Vice, a Thomas Pynchon adaptation from the director Paul Thomas Anderson. Today, we learn what she's doing in this mysterious movie. According to The New York Times, Newsom plays the "earth-goddess-like" Sortilège, who narrates the movie. Newsom co-stars with Joaquin Phoenix, Benicio Del Toro, Owen Wilson, and Reese Witherspoon, and Radiohead's Jonny Greenwood scored the movie. Inherent Vice will debut 10/4 at the New York Film Festival.
