Spike Jonze and Charlie Kaufman Are Doin’ it Again!
Spike Jonze — director most recently of WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE (2009) — and screenwriter Charlie Kaufman — most recently having written and directed SYNECDOCHE, NEW YORK (2008) — are once again planning to re-team on a third creative collaboration. The pairing first brought us the unforgettably weird and wonderful BEING JOHN MALKOVICH (1999) to be followed up by the intellectually intense ADAPTATION (2002).
Currently, the word is that there’s no script written as of yet and the plot (of course) is being kept super secret. One itty-bitty piece of information being suggested is that it’s a mystery, not that it tells us much. Jonze is looking for his next directorial gig, coming off WILD THINGS and I’M HER (a short film from his own script that played SXSW) while Kaufman does have one possible project of his own in the works called FRANK OR FRANCES, supposedly a satire of Hollywood.
The question is, will their collaboration be their next project?
