Charlie Kaufman has seen the comments, y'all.

The Memory Police, a 1994 Yōko Ogawa novel, already feels like a Charlie Kaufman-esque project, concerning the elusive nature of memories and the surreal oppression of forces beyond our controls. So why not make the movie version official? Per Deadline, Kaufman will be adapting the work into an Amazon Studios film, with director Reed Morano coming aboard to helm. [caption id="attachment_638970" align="alignright" width="360"] Image via Hulu[/caption] The novel concerns an unnamed island in a dystopian reality in which people are starting to forget things. At first, innocuous things like hats or birds. But when …

Charlie Kaufman is still one of the greatest storytellers in Hollywood. Here are his best films, ranked.

From our interview with the writer/director!

With Charlie Kaufman’s new movie I’m Thinking of Ending Things now streaming on Netflix, I recently spoke to the gifted filmmaker about a myriad of subjects. During the wide-ranging conversation, Kaufman talked about making the movie at Netflix, how his work leaves a lot open for the viewer to decide, what it was like in the editing room, why he doesn’t get nervous watching early cuts of the film, who he trusts for honest feedback, the challenges of filming the long driving scenes, and so much more. In addition, he talked about what happened to his …

With Charlie Kaufman’s new movie I’m Thinking of Ending Things now streaming on Netflix, I recently spoke to Jesse Plemons and Jessie Buckley about making the movie. During the interview, they talked about what it was really like to collaborate with Kaufman, how his work allows for each viewer to have their own interpretation of the material, if they asked Kaufman to explain the story, and a lot more. If you haven’t seen the trailers, the story is based on Iain Reid’s acclaimed novel of the same name and follows an unnamed woman (Buckley) as she …

Way back in 2014 (remember those days?), Charlie Kaufman was tapped to do a page one rewrite of an adaptation of Arthur Herzog’s novel IQ 83 for Paramount, with Steve Carell attached to star. Obviously that project never materialized, but Kaufman says there’s a possibility his adaptation may yet see the light of day on HBO. In an interview with Collider’s Steve Weintraub about his upcoming Netflix film I’m Thinking of Ending Things, Kaufman revealed that he’s currently developing IQ 83 as a limited series, although he stressed that there’s no telling whether or …

Oh, this is going to be a lot to unpack. We're in.

Netflix has released the official trailer for I'm Thinking of Ending Things. The new Netflix movie is adapted from the 2016 Ian Reid novel of the same name. It also happens to be written and directed by the one and only Charlie Kaufman, who has delivered to us his first live-action featuring in 10 (yes, 10!) years. I'm Thinking of Ending Things has been filed under the genre categories of "drama," "horror," and "thriller" over on IMDb, and it's not hard to see why. Pulling from Reid's equally freaky novel, I'm Thinking of Ending …

I'm thinking the official poster for Netflix's I'm Thinking of Ending Things is most excellent. The upcoming movie is adapted from the 2016 Ian Reid novel of the same name, is written and directed by Charlie Kaufman, and sees Jessie Buckley, Jesse Plemons, Toni Collette, and David Thewlis making up the core cast. I'm Thinking of Ending Things also marks the end of a five-year directing gap for Kaufman following 2015's Anomalisa. The poster for I'm Thinking of Ending Things sets one heck of a tone for a movie we'll be able …

If you're not hyped for I'm Thinking of Ending Things, let me lay out the facts: Charlie Kaufman and his weird enigma brain made his first live-action film in more than 10 years for Netflix, the streaming service that so often lets filmmakers do whatever the heck, with Jesse Plemons and Jessie Buckley at the front of it. EW just dropped the first images today, and in classic Kaufman fashion they're not overtly strange in any way but you can just feel something...more going on. The Synecdoche, New York director almost exclusively traffics in mindfucks, …

Charlie Kaufman is one of our most striking, unorthodox auteurs. From Adaptation to Synecdoche, New York to Anomalisa, the man makes exceptionally knotted, complicated, and metatextual journeys into the mind (well, usually his own). His latest project, I'm Thinking of Ending Things, sounds like all of these things -- with the additional, exceptional wrinkle of being an all-out psychological horror film. I've been waiting with patient breath to hear when this thing might get released, and now all of our prayers have been answered. Netflix will release I'm Thinking of Ending Things on September 4.

After writing celebrated screenplays of narrative trickery like Adaptation and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and directing full-on descents into madness like Synecdoche, New York and Anomalisa, where else can celebrated, idiosyncratic filmmaker Charlie Kaufman go? Why, to the world of writing books, of course. As reported by Entertainment Weekly, Kaufman is set to publish his debut novel: Antkind. And it's got all us Collider writers worried, as it's about -- gulp -- a neurotic film critic. Antkind follows B. Rosenberger Rosenberg, a down-on-his luck film critic who discovers, as Kaufman puts it, "an impossible movie." …

After starring in Captain Marvel and Avengers: Endgame and making her directorial debut with the upcoming Netflix movie Unicorn Store, it's safe to say that Brie Larson deserves a break. She has certainly earned one. And perhaps that's why she has pulled out of Charlie Kaufman's psychological thriller I'm Thinking of Ending Things. I haven't heard of any creative differences or another project that would pose a scheduling conflict. I simply imagine that after a whirlwind press tour for Captain Marvel -- one that will surely continue next month with Endgame -- the actress simply wanted to …
