Paul Thomas Anderson has begun to draw numerous comparisons to the brilliant Stanley Kubrick. Narrative style and aesthetics aside, he seems to have adopted the slow-as-hell Kubrickian pace, coupled with a Stan’s legendary secretive, guarded filmmaking process. A clip from his newest film, The Master, is here, and effectively ends the PTA drought.

Anderson is best known for directing Boogie Nights and There Will Be Blood. The Master stars Philip Seymour Hoffman and Joaquin Phoenix, and comes out in October.
