The Weinstein Company will officially distribute Paul Thomas Anderson's next film, Deadline reports. Currently untitled, the project is set to star Philip Seymour Hoffman and Joaquin Phoenix. Originally titled The Master , the story, said to be loosely based on the life of L.

This project, set to begin production next month, will be Anderson's first work since 2007's There Will Be Blood . That film was the only one of Anderson's not to feature...
