Development
It was first reported in December 2009 that Anderson had been working on a script about the founder of a new religious organization (described as being similar to Scientology) played by Phillip Seymour Hoffman.The project was initially set up with Universalbut, like The Weinstein Company, they eventually passed on the project because of problems with the script.The main issue that Universal had with the project was that the budget was too big at about $35 million.
It was later reported that River Road was in serious talks to fully finance the film. In February 2011 it was reported that Megan Ellison, daughter of billionaire Larry Ellison, would finance The Master and Anderson's adaptation of the novel Inherent Vice under her new production company Annapurna Pictures.[4][17] Harvey Weinstein later picked up the worldwide rights to the film in May 2011.
An associate of Anderson's stated that the idea for the film had been in Anderson's head for about 12 years. Anderson initially got the idea for the film by reading a quote that mentioned that the periods after wars were times for spiritual movements to start. When he first began writing the script he had no idea what it was, where it was going, or where it would end up but he kept on working on it and it came together. To write the script, Anderson combined unused scenes from early drafts of There Will Be Blood, stories Jason Robards had told him on the set of Magnolia about his drinking days in the Navy during the war, and the life stories of John Steinbeck and L. Ron Hubbard. While writing Anderson would have Hoffman read parts of the script and give feedback which led to Hoffman suggesting that the film should be Freddie's story and not Lancaster's.After the film was dropped by Universal and failed to pick up a distributor, Anderson did several months of rewrites.
Hoffman was reported as being cast in the lead role as Lancaster Dodd with Jeremy Renner starring opposite as Freddie Sutton. Renner was later reported as no longer being attached to the film and Joaquin Phoenix was officially cast in the role. Anderson stated that he knew from the beginning that he wanted Hoffman to play the Master and also had Phoenix in mind for the part of Freddie.Reese Witherspoon was reportedly offered the role of Mary Sue Dodd but Amy Adams was later cast. For the role of Dodd's daughter Amanda Seyfried, Emma Stone, and Deborah Ann Woll were all considered with the role eventually going to newcomer Ambyr Childers.
Filming
Filming was to begin in August 2010 with Renner starring opposite Hoffman, but was postponed indefinitely in September 2010. In May 2011, after securing financing, the film was given the green-light and filming began in early June 2011 in Vallejo and Sacramento.Shooting took place on Mare Island for a month using the wing of an old hospital and an empty admiral’s mansion for some scenes.In late June 2011 filming took place at Hillside Elementary School in Berkeley.
The film was shot on 65mm filmbeing the first fictional film to be shot in 65mm since Kenneth Branagh's Hamlet in 1996. Mihai Malaimare Jr. served as cinematographer, making The Master Anderson's first film without cinematographer Robert Elswit.
Adams stated that Anderson would have her appear on set for scenes she was not scheduled to appear in to make her presence felt and at times she had no clue as to whether or not the camera was on her.[29] Anderson compared Phoenix's commitment to that of Daniel Day-Lewis for his level of concentration stating that Phoenix got into character and stayed there for three months.
