For a film that has done very little marketing to the mass public and has quietly been making a splash online, Paul Thomas Anderson’s The Master looks to be a sensational hit in the making. With a secret screening of the film shown last Friday, I have only heard great things regarding the film and the performances by the three main actors Philip Seymore Hoffman, Joaquin Phoenix and Amy Adams. To go along with the positive press, we have the latest one sheet for the film which, while very simple, displays a much more powerful underlying message.
In case you are not familiar with the premise of the film, basically Hoffman plays the title character, a self-made religious/cult leader modeled in the likes of Scientology’s L. Ron Hubbard; Amy Adams plays his wife, who many have said to be a spitting resemblance to Hubbards actual wife ; and Phoenix is the alcoholic ex-Navy drifter who becomes engulfed in Hoffman’s teachings and becomes a staple for his hogwash of a religion.
Here is the new poster and I will leave it to you to interpret it however you would like. If you search around the net, you can find others ideas as to what the poster means and supposedly it does have something to do with the actual film. What that is, I have no clue.
The Master will hit select theaters September 14th.
