Amy Adams also features in the new trailer as Mary Sue Dodd, the wife of Hoffman's eponymous Master.

Hoffman's character is said to be inspired by controversial Scientology founder L Ron Hubbard.

Tom Cruise, who worked with Anderson on Magnolia, was reportedly granted a private screening of the movie recently. Sources claimed that Cruise, a noted Scientologist, "had issues" with aspects of The Master.

The Master is due to be released on October 12 in the US, with a UK date yet to be set.
