Playing "the Master," as in "master of ceremonies," Hoffman is a charismatic intellectual who hatches a faith-based organization that begins to catch on in America in 1952. The story will focus on the relationship between the Master and Freddie, a 20-something drifter who becomes the leader's lieutenant. As the faith begins to gain a fervent following, Freddie finds himself questioning the belief system he has embraced, and his mentor.
Hoffman appeared in Anderson's debut flick Hard Eight--This will mark their 5th team up.
The media says the film will skewer both Scientology and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormonism) And I say it sounds like the film's putting the whole idea of faith under the microscope.
The $35 million project has yet to be officially greenlit though as Anderson has yet to deliver a finished script....It's just a matter of time.
