After the controversial scoring of unprecedented directing and acting prizes at the 69th Venice Film Festival, cinema powerhouse Paul Thomas Anderson's latest drama, THE MASTER, is looking to be an early Oscar contender. Featuring a cast that includes Joaquin Phoenix, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Amy Adams, this period drama about a faith-based organization and the effects of its evolution on its "master" and a troubled acolyte is not for the timid. Phoenix and Hoffman look to deliver nuanced performances of considerable force. Watch the trailer now on The MediaJor Channel.

THE MASTER opens in select theaters on September 14. (Trailer courtesy of The Weinstein Company.)
