Paul Thomas Anderson’s The Master Sets Awards-Season Release Date
At long last, Paul Thomas Anderson’s psuedo-Scientology drama has a release date! As breathlessly reported by Variety’s Jeff Sneider via Twitter: “Ladies and gentlemen, The Master primed for limited release on Sept. 14, will expand the following weekend!” The Weinstein Co. will release in prime awards season, rolling the Philip Seymour Hoffman-starrer to wide release on September 21. The bad news for Austin, Texas film geeks: The timing seems to contradict speculation that Anderson’s hotly anticipated pic would debut at Fantastic Fest, which runs September 20-27. [Variety]
