Paul Thomas Anderson is working on a new film with Philip Seymour Hoffman set to star, says Variety. Hey, how come PTA works with all of his actors repeatedly except Mark Wahlberg? Was Mark unavailable to work with one of the greatest living directors because he was focusing his efforts on high-class fare like Planet of the Apes, Rock Star, The Italian Job, Four Brothers, and The Happening, or did PTA just actually happen to see all those films?
The film’s about a guy who starts a religion in the 1950s. Sounds Scientological, no? I guess we’ll find out if it’s a criticism of that larcenous pyramid scheme if Paul is found face-down in the L.A. river. I’m not saying they’ll kill him – he’ll probably off himself after they slam him with 11,341 frivolous lawsuits. Hold on, there’s someone at the door of the Starzlife offices.
Dammit! It was a subpoena server!
