How could you have all of these films, and leave out the most ambitious film? Yes, I'm speaking of Paul Thomas Andersons next film "The Master".
ReplyDeleteIt has everything going for it, first off PTA, a genius of filmmaking as the writer,director, and producer. Then we have a incredibly all star cast, PSH, JP, AA, LD. A incredible rising cinematography, MM Jr., and all of PTAs other people this is a sure Oscar nominee. Not to mention that it's being distributed by the weinstiens, they'll definitely push like hell to get this film in its categories.
I think the only competition is The Hobbit, and maybe Lincoln. Voting will be weird, since rumor has it that scientology members have tried to keep it from being made. Never the less it should most definitely be up there on your list.
I agree with you. These predictions were made back in May, and most of the latest news about The Master came out in June, so I just haven't had time to update these pages yet. Rest assured that a director and cast like that will definitely be included in my next set of predictions.
