American moviemaker Paul Thomas Anderson is currently working on an untitled picture, which will recount the story of an intellectual who creates a belief system to help people cope with the horrors of World War One.

Production is due to begin later this month and according to Deadline Amy is set to star as the wife of Philip Seymour Hoffman's character.
