Rami Malek Cast in Paul Thomas Anderson’s Upcoming Religious Drama

Posted on 04. Jun, 2011 by in News

Rami Malek joins the cast of Paul Thomas Anderson’s untitled religious drama.

Malek will play the son-in-law of the main character, the creator of a new faith that closely mirrors Scientology (Philip Seymour Hoffman). Joaquin Phoenix co-stars as an alcoholic drifter who becomes his right-hand man and disciple. Malek recently starred in HBO’s “The Pacific” and is best known for playing Ahkmenrah in the “Night at the Museum” pics — though that’s about to change once he’s seen as the powerful Egyptian vampire Benjamin in the final installment of Summit’s “Twilight” franchise, due for release in November 2012.
