Paul Thomas Anderson's Scientology Film Gets Indefinitely Postponed

Looks like Jeremy Renner's schedule just got slightly less complicated. According to the actor, Paul Thomas Anderson's much-anticipated Scientology film The Master -- which would have starred Philip Seymour Hoffman as a cult leader in the vein of L. Ron Hubbard -- has been thrown into development hell. "I was really bummed about that," Renner told the print edition of Total Film. "It really kind of stalled because when we were rehearsing -- Phil, Paul and myself -- we kept coming up against a wall that we couldn't overcome. Or at least Paul couldn't overcome." Don't worry: You can overcome by watching There Will Be Blood again. [Total Film via The Playlist]
