Amy Adams

Courtesy of The Playlist, it has been confirmed that Amy Adams has joined Phillip Seymour Hoffman and Joaquin Phoenix in the new Paul Thomas Anderson film, The Master. Production is rumoured to begin sometime this month, with Adams working on Zach Snyder's Man of Steel later in the year, making her a very busy woman. There has been wide discussion about P.T Anderson's new project, but most of the key details have remained very much in the dark. Anderson is one of the most talented directors working today and with a near-flawless resume, he certainly has plenty to live up to. The film centres on Lancaster Dodd (Hoffman), a man who returns from WWII and starts a religion not unlike Scientology, taking Freddy Sutton (Phoenix), a former alcoholic, under his wing. Amy Adams will play Dodd's wife in the film. I am a big Amy Adams fan, and this sounds like a perfect casting choice. I'm looking forward to hearing more in the future about The Master.
