I realized the screen captures I made from ‘The Master’ hasn’t been uploaded! You can find it now up in the gallery. Amy did a brilliant job as Peggy Dodd, be sure to check out if you didn’t see the movie yet.
Amy Adams arrives at the Beverly Hills Hotel’s patio doing what she calls her “zombie limp,” the result of a broken pinky toe. Her hair is up, her guard is down and she’s showing off an adorable photo of her 2-year-old daughter, Aviana, dressed up as a purple butterfly for her first Halloween.
It’s a deceptively relaxed moment. In the last 18 months, Adams, 38, has worked with Paul Thomas Anderson (“The Master”), Clint Eastwood (“Trouble With the Curve”) and Spike Jonze (the upcoming sci-fi romance “Her”), played Lois Lane for next year’s “Superman” reboot and starred in the Public Theater’s Shakespeare in the Park production of “Into the Woods.” Next up: A reunion with her “Fighter” director, David O. Russell.
But, for now, let’s focus on Peggy Dodd, the strong, steely woman pulling the puppet strings in “The Master” as the wife of cult leader Lancaster Dodd. It’s a role that has put the three-time Oscar nominee back into the awards-season conversation. Continue reading The Contenders: Amy Adams on the not-so-polite Peggy Dodd

A lot of interviews has been popping up since “The Master” premiere in New York and “Trouble With The Curve” press conference last weekend. Here you can find some of them, and this post will be updated with more so keep checking:
Trouble With The Curve
Here’s another great interview by DP/30, shot in Toronto during “The Master” Press Conference:
Vanity Fair did a round of interviews during Toronto International Film Festival, and here’s the one they did with Amy:
The buzz on The Master couldn’t not be at a higher pitch. Couched in mystery, the film has earned the raves and gold trophies of those that have seen it, and the curiosity and preemptive protest of those that have yet to see Paul Thomas Anderson’s latest film.
A jam-packed premiere in New York City on Tuesday night drew fans, a throng of media and, maybe, outraged Scientologists that have been riled up by the film’s basis in the early days of L. Ron Hubbard’s Dianetics movement. There was extra security hired by the film’s distributor, The Weinstein Company; whether they were required, or even scared off potential protestors, was hard to determine in the thick of the crowd in front of the Ziegfeld Theater on 54th street in Manhattan.
With co-stars Joaquin Phoenix and Philip Seymour Hoffman not able to make the event, Amy Adams, who plays the true-believer wife of Hoffman’s cult leader Lancaster Dodd, was charged with speaking with the press. She has a number of films coming out over the next few months, and one, an adaptation of Jack Kerouac’s classic novel On the Road, offers many unexpected similarities to The Master: a post-World War II setting, lost souls, and small communities.
“I’ve started to think about that, because there’s been a sort of parallel in a couple of the roles I’ve taken,” she told The Hollywood Reporter. It’s a lot of longing and loss.” Continue reading Amy Adams on ‘The Master’ and Clint Eastwood’s RNC Speech
