Along with getting rave reviews at Venice, PTA is said he is currently working on an adaptation of Thomas Pynchon's "Inherent Vice". He also said that he has plans to tackle Pynchon's "Gravity's Rainbow" as well. I can only imagine how daunting that all feels.
Sources say the jury was set to award the Golden Lion to the Paul Thomas Anderson-directed feature but, because of a quirk in the rules, has decided to give the award instead to Korean director Kim Ki-duk's "Pieta." It seems the jury at the Venice Film Festival liked The Master way too much.
The awards are being announced Saturday in Venice.
Apparently during the jury's first deliberations, members decided to give The Master — a drama loosely based on the origins of Scientology — the top prize, as well as the Silver Lion directing award to Anderson and the acting award jointly to co-stars Joaquin Phoenix and Philip Seymour Hoffman. (Another international critics prize also was heaped on Master.)
But new festival rules apparently prohibit one film from garnering more than two major awards, so the jury was asked to re-deliberate to remove one of the awards. After what a source described as a heated session, the jury decided to take the Golden Lion away from Master and give it to Pieta.

Tied with the middle 90 minutes of The Tree of Life , I'll take the first 15 minutes of TWBB over anything else that came out in the 21st century.

im really looking foward to this one...so, is this about the beggining of the cientology guy or what?
Loosely based off of Hubbard. It mainly has to do with the relationship between Phoenix and Hoffman's charactrers. Not so much about anything in particular. Which are my favorite movies because it leaves the door open for a lot of interpretation.
