Spike Jonze's Adaptation?
It's been written and directed by the same guys who did Being John Malkovich which I loved loved loved.
My problem? I haven't heard anything about it!! I'm going nuts. I saw the trailer for it before Punch Drunk Love and nobody else seems to know what I'm talking about. Please tell me I'm not the only one who is going to see this movie.
Okay, well, I have heard a few things about it. But honestly, they kind of confuse me. The movie is about a screenwriter named Charlie Kaufman (Nicholas Cage) who is trying to do an adaptation of a real book written by Susan Orlean who is played by Meryl Streep in the movie. He then somehow writes himself into the movie. And the guy who actually wrote it? Charlie Kaufman. AND there's a twin brother -- also played by Cage -- in the movie. Now I thought that the brother was made up but now I've heard that he's been given writing credits?
I'll say one thing for this movie: you know it isn't going to be boring. Or typical. And I'm a big fan of that.
