Depressing
Ok so it's not the end of the world....but it's pretty close. The Playlist has reported via Total Film that Paul Thomas Anderson's religious drama has been delayed indefinitely. The film currently untitled but listed as The Master on IMDB had Philip Seymour Hoffman, Jeremy Renner and Reese Witherspoon attached. Per Total Film's discussion with Jeremy Renner,
"I was really bummed about that," Renner revealed. "It really kind of stalled because when we were rehearsing — Phil, Paul and myself — we kept coming up against a wall that we couldn't overcome. Or at least Paul couldn't overcome."
I wonder what wall talented trio such as that could not overcome? Paul Thomas Anderson has dealt with stressful issues before like having to replace the supporting actor in There Will Be Blood a few weeks into shooting and luckily he struck gold (or oil) with Paul Dano. "The Master" would have easily been the second film on my list for 2011 behind The Tree of Life so this is very disappointing news. Here is to hoping the three of them can get it working.
