Reese Witherspoon To Join Paul Thomas Anderson’s Untitled Religion Drama

My friend Jeremy told me about this info the other day, so I figured why not post it, why the hell not. It’s Reese Witherspoon anyway, America’s darling…

Via The playlist, according to the latest info from production weekly, Witherspoon is in talks to join the cast of the untitled religion drama from director Paul Thomas Anderson (There Will Be Blood). The project’s working title is THE MASTER.
Starring Philip Seymour Hoffman and Jeremy Renner

The core of the story is the relationship between The Master (Hoffman) and Freddie Sutton(Renner), a twenty-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.”
The controversy of course lies in its odd comparison to a Scientology-like cult/religion
It’s a story of this broken down dark soul Freddie who has been seduced by THE MASTER’s charm.
If deal’s locked in, Reese will play The Master’s wife, Mary Sue who acts as his caretakers and vigilant lieutenant
Judging based on Playlist’s script review, the story includes twisted scenes of sex, incest, polygamy, adultery.
