Paul Thomas Anderson's ~ The Master

[wofford29]

I think it's a great trailer personally. Almost the exact same vibe as the original There Will Be Blood teaser with Plainviews speech to Henry.

Apart from Punch Drunk Love and Magnolia, which were overrated and tedious, I agree with you. Damn if I've ever seen a better Burt Reynolds performance than Boogie Nights

I liked this trailer, personally. It's obviously set up to makes you wanna see more, to figure out what the heck's going on, and it works in my case.

Boogie Nights is amazing and Hard Eight is also pretty good, but yea I hated Magnolia and Punch Drunk is just mediocre.

I think this is a great trailer too. Not having a trailer boil an entire movie down to 2 minutes makes me want to see it even more.

Magnolia is my favorite PTA film. This might come close and tie TWBB for second place.

 

[Biojex]

Can. Not. Wait. I love the score already.

Glad to see Joaquin again after being gone a while since that failure of a publicity stunt, otherwise known as I'm Still Here.

What Batsworth said.

 

[PandaClaws]

This is going to be amazing. Love PTA.

Might just have a PTA marathon this week in excitement over The Master.

Whakoon Pawheenus looks fantastic. But that trailer was just annoying. I really hate trailers like that. Im fine with keeping things under wraps, but nothing about that trailer grabs me.

However....since There Will Be Blood was so amazing, and Phoenix is just acting his soul out, i'll see it.

This is the teaser trailer that leaked for There Will Be Blood that I mentioned this having the same vibe as.

Not enough ____ blowing up?

 

[CelticPredator]

Not really.

I just don't like trailers like that. I'm a big fan of trailers, but not a fan of really abstract, artsy movie trailers.

That don't mean the movie doesn't look great. I just don't like that trailer.

But this guy makes really abstract, artsy fartsy movies. . .

I know damn well I am going to love the film but I am just not so keen on that trailer. Its not bad but its not great either.I think the tease for TWBB was much better.

 

[wofford29]

Apparently some footage from this was shown along with the Django footage the other day and this stole the show. The last part of the year is going to be amazing.

I can't believe what I am reading. When did PTA care what Cruise felt about the film? Poor show if he actually allows Cruise to manipulate his vision.

In the early days of reporting on Paul Thomas Anderson‘s latest movie, before it was called The Master, we tentatively referred to it as PTA’s Scientology Film. The conception of the movie has since evolved, focusing on a man (Philip Seymour Hoffman) so shaken by the horrors of World War II that he creates a new, nonspecific religion. But still, there are similarities between this story and the life of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard—specifically the post-WWII time frame and the philosophical epiphany on a boat trip. This seems enough cause for tension between Anderson and Tom Cruise, his Magnolia star and outspoken Scientologist. Anderson, giving us yet another reason to respect him, decided to address the conflict head on and screen a rough cut of The Master for Cruise. Hit the jump for Cruise’s reaction.

Cruise’s representation declined to comment, but The Wrap spoke to two sources close to the production. Both said Cruise “had issues” with a few parts. Anderson still has a few months to fine tune The Master before the October 12 release date. So he could feasibly alter any perceived critiques between now and then. While I wouldn’t be surprised to see Cruise’s name included in the special thanks section, the main reason we respect Anderson is his astounding ability to execute his singular vision on screen. Addressing the issue months in advance is a good idea. Softening the impact of the story is a bad idea.

This stealing Django's thunder is surprising. Gets me excited.

Yeah, like that time Rainman altered one of his sculpts to. . .uh, never mind
