After the Oscar-Nominated There Will Be Blood, Paul Thomas Anderson has been pretty quiet. Due to funding reasons and several other factors, he hasn't been able to get the project of his choice up off the ground. But, finally, it has been done. It may have taken a few years, but his project that centers on the leader/creator of a faith-based organization and his follows is up and going. Paul Thomas Anderson is known for somehow bringing together a fantastic cast, and he hasn't disappointed this time. Check out the cast, the full promo poster, and the synopsis after the jump.
The full cast list consists of Philip Seymour Hoffman as the organization's leader and Joaquin Phoenix (yeah, he's back) as a young drifter who Hoffman sets as his right-hand-man. Also in the film are Amy Adams, Laura Dern, Jesse Plemons, and David Warshovsky.
Needless to say, the poster gets right to the point of where exactly the film is at right now. Here's the synopsis for Untitled Paul Thomas Anderson Project.
Written and directed by Academy Award nominee Paul Thomas Anderson (the acclaimed director of, There Will Be Blood, Magnolia and Boogie Nights), this story stars Academy Award winner Philip Seymour Hoffman (Capote) and Academy Award-nominee Joaquin Phoenix (Walk the Line). Set in America in the years following World War II, a charismatic intellectual (Hoffman) launches a faith-based organization and taps a young drifter (Phoenix) as his right-hand man. But as the faith begins to gain a fervent following, the onetime vagabond finds himself questioning the belief system he has embraced, and his mentor. A truly one-of-a-kind drama, which promises magnetic virtuoso performances, the film marks the fifth collaboration between Anderson and Hoffman, following Hard Eight, Boogie Nights, Magnolia, and Punch Drunk Love.
