Today in showbiz news: Discussing the J.J. Abrams/Star Wars news, Joaquin Phoenix and Paul Thomas Anderson are teaming up again, and a first look at the Coen Brothers' new film.
Today we review Paul Thomas Anderson's highly anticipated new film, The Master, starring Joaquin Phoenix and Philip Seymour Hoffman.
At long last we have a full-length, somewhat expository trailer for Paul Thomas Anderson's hotly anticipated next feature, The Master.
Technically the character, played by Philip Seymour Hoffman, whom we meet in the new trailer for Paul Thomas Anderson's The Master, is named Lancaster Dodd. But the movie is supposedly based on the origins of Scientology, so the guy is supposed to be L. Ron Hubbard, right?
Movie trailer day continues with a curious first glimpse at Paul Thomas Anderson's long-in-the-works The Master, a film about an American religion/cult founded in the confusing aftermath of World War II that has long been referred to as Anderson's "Scientology movie."
