In the first trailer for Paul Thomas Anderson's "The Master," Philip Seymour Hoffman's character admits that he's a "hopelessly inquisitive man." Now, it's time to make a toast to that man with the first poster from the highly anticipated project.

Here, Hoffman plays veteran Lancaster Dodd, a man who forms his own religion called "The Cause" as a result of painful war experiences. (Speculation has it that L. Ron Hubbard and Scientology were the inspirations behind Dodd and his religion -- although that has not been confirmed by either Anderson or the cast.)

Rounding out the rest of the movie is Amy Adams, who portrays Lancaster's wife, and Joaquin Phoenix as the impressionable young man who joins Dodd's "Cause" -- and, from the looks of the trailer, eventually goes a bit mad

The newest poster, debuting on both Moviefone and HuffPost Entertainment, shows off the glass -- or in this case, bottle -- half-empty/half-full motif for the ... characters? The storyline? Audiences likely won't know the answer to that until the film hits theaters this fall.

Check the poster out below. "The Master" hits theaters on Oct. 12.

• Boogie Nights - Trailer

  Set in 1977, back when sex was safe, pleasure was a business and business was booming, idealistic porn producer Jack Horner aspires to elevate his craft to an art form. Horner discovers Eddie Adams, a hot young talent working as a busboy in a nightclub, and welcomes him into the extended family of movie-makers, misfits and hangers-on that are always around. Adams' rise from nobody to a celebrity adult entertainer is meteoric, and soon the whole world seems to know his porn alter ego, "Dirk Diggler." Now, when disco and drugs are in vogue, fashion is in flux and the party never seems to stop, Adams' dreams of turning sex into stardom are about to collide with cold, hard reality. Featuring an amazing, award-winning cast, including Mark Wahlberg ("The Departed," "We Own the Night"), Burt Reynolds ("Deliverance"), John C. Reilly ("Magnolia"), Julianne Moore ("Children of Men"), Philip Seymour Hoffman ("State & Main"), Don Cheadle ("Talk to Me"), William H. Macy ("Bobby"), and many more. MPAA Rating: R Copyright
