Synecdoche, New York trailer

posted by Jason Kottke   Sep 19, 2008

The trailer for Synecdoche, New York, the first film directed by Charlie Kaufman, who wrote Being John Malkovich, Adaptation, and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. A.O. Scott liked it at Cannes. The film will be out in limited release (NY & LA?) on Oct 24. Say sih-NECK-duh-kee...kinda like Schenectady. (via crazymonk)

Update: I removed the embedded video...I didn't know it came with all that extra cruft around it.

Update: The video is back, YouTube-style.

Synecdoche, New York script

posted by Jason Kottke   Sep 14, 2006

Jay Fernandez of the LA Times gets his hands on the screenplay for Charlie Kaufman's new movie, Synecdoche, New York — which Charlie will also be directing (in the absence of Spike Jonze) — and loves it. "No one has ever written a screenplay like this. It's questionable whether cinema is even capable of handling the thematic, tonal and narrative weight of a story this ambitious." Incidentally, synecdoche.
