Rami Malek joins the Untitled Paul Thomas Anderson Project
The story centers on Philip Seymour Hoffman's character, who creates his own religious belief system after World War II, which exponentially grows in popularity. Rami Malek will play Clark, the son-in-law of Philip Seymour Hoffman's character, who is known only as The Master. Clark is married to The Master's 19-year-old daughter, a role which has not been cast yet.
Amy Adams will portray The Master's wife, while Joaquin Phoenix plays a drifter who is taken in by The Master and rises up to be his second in command, although he starts to doubt The Master's philosophies. Jesse Plemons will play The Master's son, and David Warshofsky will portray a police detective. Laura Dern also recently joined the cast in an unknown role.
Paul Thomas Anderson will direct from his own screenplay, which is loosely based on the creation of Scientology. It isn't known when production will start on the Untitled Paul Thomas Anderson Project.
The Master was released September 14th, 2012 and stars Joaquin Phoenix, Price Carson, Mike Howard, Sarah Shoshana David, Bruce Goodchild, Matt Hering, Dan Anderson, Andrew Koponen. The film is directed by Paul Thomas Anderson.

It's hard to be excited after news of Phoenix, Adams, and Dern joining the cast. But, nevertheless, a good fit for the role.
