Here's what's being hyped as the "final" trailer for Paul Thomas Anderson's upcoming movie, "The Master," which is due to hit theaters in mid-September (though I'm betting it arrives on Rockford screens sometime in mid-2015).
Looks great, right? Tense, foreboding and driven by a compelling rhythm that comes from Joaquin Phoenix's increasingly frenetic pounding. Plus, after his absence in P.T. Anderson's last movie, "There Will Be Blood," it's sure nice to see Philip Seymour Hoffman return, and for a role that looks much, much meatier than the supporting parts he played in Anderson's other movies, "Hard Eight," "Boogie Nights," "Magnolia" and "Punch-Drunk Love."
My favorite P.T. Anderson trailer, though, is this one from his 1999 epic "Magnolia," which packs so much into just under three minutes that it's practically a movie all by itself. And talk about rhythm -- that Ricky Jay narration paired with Aimee Mann's music mixed with the introduction of all those characters makes it one of the most compelling trailers I've ever seen. Here -- see for yourself...
