Okay, I posted before thinking that this was bullshit/fake but I've since gotten a copy of the draft and now firmly believe it is legitimate. Anybody who has read a PTA screenplay before can see some of his more subtle touches (stylistically speaking in regards to his formatting).

Forizzer's real name is Tyler Flannigan. He's from Toronto. Someone should track down where he got the script from and fire the person that leaked it.

It could be a very, very early draft. Like shit he put together dialogue-wise, and he's working on the proper script now.

Or it could all be a very elaborate hoax.

I believe the kid who reviewed the script read an actual script that claimed to be an "Untitled Scientology Paul Thomas Anderson script." But that doesn't mean that the script itself was legit.

But remember that very early drafts of Magnolia and There Will Be Blood were very flimsey as well.

"He gets a tattoo “Too Tough To Die” to commemorate falling off a balcony at a cinema (while drunk), which takes an ironic turn when he lands next to a woman he seduced with his impertinence, heavily discussing Scientology at the time. "

ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS

He's revised his original review. He's added more to it icluding an original page.

i think that's a comment on the fact that the Variety story reveals more than the actual script review does, which is admittedly, pretty incoherent, sorry dude.

"although considering the barely-coherent nature of his prose though, something about a pot and a kettle comes to mind…"

I don't see the point in hunting down reviews of half-bred, might-be scripts... let's just wait for the film.

Sounds like a fake, but that didn't stop me from picturing those scant details shot by Robert Elswitt.
