Amy Adams joins Scientology-inspired film

Amy Adams joins Scientology-inspired film. Deadline are reporting that Amy Adams has joined Paul Thomas Anderson’s next film, an untitled Scientology inspired 1950s-set religious drama. This is the project that Anderson has worked on for a long time, once under the title ‘The Master.’ Production on the film is set to begin next month and will star Philip Seymour Hoffman and Joaquin Phoenix. Adams is coming off her Oscar-nominated performance 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.

The film is said to centre on the relationship between a charismatic intellectual known as “the Master” (Philip Seymour Hoffman ) whose faith-based organization begins to catch on in America, and a young alcholic drifter (Joaquin Phoenix) who becomes his right-hand man only to begin questioning his manipulative mentor. “The Master” creates the faith-based organization after witnessing the horrors of WWII, in an attempt to rediscover who he is in post-war America. Laura Dern, Jesse Plemons, Lena Endre and David Warshofsky are also set to star in the film.
