New film by Paul Thomas Anderson (Boogie Nights, Magnolia, Punch Drunk Love, There Will Be Blood...). Looks like it is going to be effing awesome. Here is the premise from Wikipedia:

A charismatic intellectual (Hoffman) launches a religious organization following World War II. A drifter (Phoenix) becomes his right-hand man but as the faith begins to gain a fervent following, the drifter finds himself questioning the belief system and his mentor. The plot involves a religion called "The Cause" which has been compared to Scientology.

Very excited.
