MY MOVIE WISHLIST: THE MASTER

Who made it? Written and directed by Paul Thomas Anderson.

Who’s in it? Philip Seymour Hoffman, Joaquin Phoenix, Amy Adams.

When’s it coming out? October 12, 2012 (Limited Release).

Why do I want to see it? Because P.T. Anderson also wrote and directed Magnolia, Punch Drunk Love, and There Will Be Blood. Because it seems to be drawing some parallels to the creation of Scientology. Because even though there doesn’t seem to be much happening on the surface in the trailer, there’s a dark, tense undertone to the whole thing. Because of the music in the trailer. Because I trust P.T. Anderson to make a good film.
