also for those who don't check books sxn - Kaufman also got a novel coming out in a few months!
Nah she’s actually a garbage tier actress, never seen a single good performance. Best case scenario she’s mid in the role
you ever seen Room ?
Really looking forward to this & got worried at the lack of info, nice to see a release date
this just made me depressed
“I have a lot of things that could spark, but won’t,” he told me one of the first times we spoke. He spent nearly a decade seeking financing for a script he wrote called “Frank or Francis,” a musical about an internet troll’s deranged feud with a film director that included 50 original songs. The only way a studio would let Kaufman direct it, he was told, was if he loaded it with movie stars. So he got Steve Carell and Jack Black attached. Also Cate Blanchett, Nicolas Cage, Emma Thompson, Kevin Kline, Elizabeth Banks and Catherine Keener. But still, it wasn’t enough. He developed ideas for television, then watched them founder. He took jobs to pay his mortgage, including an uncredited rewrite on “Kung Fu Panda 2.”

Kaufman one of the most creative and Hollywood not behind him which is weird because the work that does get released is critically acclaimed. Maybe his BO numbers have to do with it. I feel he could kill it on the indie side of things but if they don’t want to back him for that too then that’s crazy.

It’s such a bullshit industry. I swear they wouldn’t release being John Malkovich or adaptation now
