Great that Joaquin Phoenix is confirmed and that filming starts in June, it's interesting that the script is reworked but it still nonetheless sounds awesome. I'm so pumped.

Well we know that it will feature a red and orange sky with a man there.

[Bunker]

Why does every first shot of a movie's poster always have to be a ****ty cellphone pic?

[Doctor Jones]

Because they know you hate it.

[Bunker]

****ers.

[Crockett]

Since PTA will start shooting the film next month hopefully we'll get the final title by then.

[Crockett]

Two more joins the cast. Jesse Plemons and David Warshofsky, I also noticed that Laura Dern is in the cast too according to the article.

Amy Adams Joins Paul Thomas Anderson Pic



EXCLUSIVE: Amy Adams has formally been set to star in Paul Thomas Anderson's untitled film, which begins production later this month. She will play the wife of the character played by Philip Seymour Hoffman. He plays a man who returns from witnessing the horrors of WWII, and in an attempt to find himself, he forms a belief system that catches on in the 1950s. Deadline revealed in early May that Adams was being courted. Joaquin Phoenix has also been set to play the faith leader's right-hand man, and I've heard there have been conversations with The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo's Lena Endre and Laura Dern for other roles. The Weinstein Company acquired worldwide distribution rights to the film last month just before the Cannes Film Festival. Megan Ellison is producing through her Annapurna Productions banner, along with JoAnne Sellar and Daniel Lupi, with Ted Schipper exec producing.

Adams is coming off her Oscar-nominated turn in The Fighter, and she will do this film before starting production on Man of Steel, playing Lois Lane in the Zack Snyder-directed Superman franchise reboot. Adams will next be seen in the Walter Salles-directed On The Road, which is being shopped for domestic distribution, and Disney's Muppets. She's repped by Brillstein Entertainment Partners and WME.

I hope this film will show just what a ****ing scam scientology really is. If there's anybody non-scientologist who didn't know that already.

[Sgt.Pepper]

Looking forward to this. I'm interested to see who is going to take over Elswit as the DP for this film. And Amy Adams becoming a part of the already talented cast makes it even better.

[Crockett]

Such a great cast that PTA has assemble, and shooting starts in two weeks!

Mihai Malaimare Jr. Is Shooting PTA’s Next Film

We've heard the rumors for a while now, starting with a comment on our Elswit story, but we've now received a tip from a source close to production that confirms Mihai Malaimare Jr. is the cinematographer on 'The Master.' The DP previously worked with Francis Ford Coppola on "Youth Without Youth," "Tetro" and the forthcoming "Twixt Not And Sunrise" all of which were shot digitally. But not to worry, 'The Master' is shooting on film and if our source is correct, there will be 65mm.

I haven't seen any films yet with him as the DP but he must be good since both Coppola and Anderson picked him as the cinematographer.

[Crockett]

I'm familiar but I haven't seen the films where he's the DP but 'tis a shame that Elswit won't be doing but oh well. I'm one who don't care whether if it's filmed in either film or digital but I'm not surprised PTA is sticking with film.

[The Morningstar]

So is this basically about some religious cult? Interesting.

Well if you can call a bunch of expensive self-help courses, that teach you how to get rid of clusters of dead alien souls that are attached in you, and that you yourself are all-powerful alien spirit, a religion, then yes, this is about religious cult.

[Crockett]

Wonderful, I still can't believe it has already started shooting.

Can't wait for set pics to pop up with the cast.

[nouan]

Oh yeah, I see a boat. Scientology is the only "religion" that used to have it's own fleet of ships. Now they only have one, the asbestos ridden Freewinds. I hope this movie also taps into the biggest infiltration to US goverment agencies by this group. You can read about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Snow_White

2 more joins in the cast and the official title for this....


The Master!


Yep, PTA went back with that and it's officially the film's title.

[Dr. Manhatten]

A friend of mine was an extra on the film since it was shooting in the Bay Area. She didn't really have any tidbits but did describe Amy Adams as one of the most adorable people she's ever seen

[Doctor Jones]

Well she is a goddess. So that's not surprising.

[Crockett]

Johnny Greenwood to score the film.

Zed-U recorded part of soundtrack for Jonny Greenwood of Radiohead last week. Film (by Paul Thomas Anderson) to appear in 2013.
