Oh, that's a nice article.

Can you imagine how much damage would be done to Scientology's tattered image if 'The Master' were to bag some Oscars?

It's starting to sound like it could happen!

As can be seen from the trailer below, the constant criticisms that Hoffman's character is "making all this up as he goes along" and creating a cult are pretty reminiscent of common Scientology attacks. The Church of Scientology has already faced loads of bad press this summer, so it will definitely be interesting to see how it responds to this slam.

By the sound of this, no such editing will be required.
