Two starkly different movies hit theaters today — Resident Evil: Retribution, which is an action movie based on a video game starring Milla Jovovich, and The Master, a movie that is totally not about Scientology starring Philip Seymour Hoffman and Joaquin Phoenix. However, the directors of both films have the same first and last names, their only difference being their middle initials. Paul W.S. Anderson is directing the former movie, Paul Thomas "P.T." Anderson is directing the latter. But in case you'd like to remain confused (or have your mind blown), Mike Ryan has combined the two in screenplay form to bring us Paul W.S. Anderson's The Master: Retribution. (via The Huffington Post)
