Amy Adams to Join Cast of Scientology Movie

Amy Adams is formally set to star in Paul Thomas Anderson’s Scientology project.

The film, which will begin production later this month, is centered around a man known as “the Master” who develops a faith-based organization in the 1950s. Philip Seymour Hoffman has been cast as Lancaster Dodd (the Master), and Joaquin Phoenix will portray his right-hand man Freddie Sutton, a young drifter. Adams will play Dodd’s wife.

The Oscar-nominated actress will also appear in upcoming films The Muppets, out this year, and the Superman reboot Man of Steel, out in 2012.

Anderson’s yet-to-be-titled project is set to release in 2013.
