You gotta love how the man can just release a poster with the working title on it and nobody bats an eyelid. That's pure balls of steel right there. Btw, here's the movie's synopsis:
A 1950s-set drama centered on the relationship between a charismatic intellectual known as "the Master" whose faith-based organization begins to catch on in America, and a young drifter who becomes his right-hand man.
One of the few directors who I could honestly say hasn't made one wack movie yet. This is definitely on my radar.
I'm checking for it. This poster tells us nothing tho, lol.
It tells us PTA is directing, which grabs my attention more than most posters, lol.

Amy Adams Joins Paul Thomas Anderson’s ‘The Master’
The wheels are now turning very fast on Paul Thomas Anderson‘s untitled religious flick, aka “The Master.” Yesterday saw Jesse Plemons, David Warshofsky and Laura Dern and earlier today we confirmed Swedish actress Lena Endre joined the cast. Now another long-linked name has signed on the dotted line.
Deadline reports that Lois Lane herself, Amy Adams, will take part in Anderson’s film before taking flight with Zack Snyder‘s “Man of Steel” later this year. Starring Philip Seymour Hoffman and Joaquin Phoenix, the film centers on Lancaster Dodd (Hoffman), who returns from WWII and starts a religion not unlike Scientology, taking Freddie Sutton (Phoenix), a former alcoholic, under his wing. Adams will play Mary-Sue, Dodd’s wife in the film, who acts as his caretaker and vigilant lieutenant. The role was offered last year to Reese Witherspoon when the film was initially gearing up to shoot, but obviously, that never panned out and frankly, we think Adams is a much better choice and fit.
Production begins on June 13th and we’re sure there will be bits and pieces of casting still to come.
Wait a minute? how? unless she's working on this months before the Superman movie. Not that I'm complaining; she's fucking brilliant.
Filming is expected to start on this soon and Superman doesn't start filming until quite a bit down the line.
Nice to see Phoenix back. Nice tone throughout that trailer, hopefully the movie keeps that tension but creepy and out there with something feeling like its about to pop out and fuck with you tone going as well.
Yes, this is looking very good. A bit reminiscent of There Will Be Blood in terms of style but that's certainly not a bad thing.
It reminds me of From Here to Eternity.
