How the fuck did this film get made? Also, is Charlie Kaufman

>>86825049
Meme money. And yes.

>>86825209
What the fuck is meme money?

>>86825049
That movie was a stroke of genius but the Meryl Streep character was fucking annoying. As is most of her roles.

>>86825405
That's true, but at least Nicholas Cage gave it his A game.

>>86825321
Money you get for stupid ideas that will probably fail but don't require much budget.

>Implying Hollywood wants new ideas

Meta films are fucking shit

>>86825209
>>86825628
Budget: $19 million

>>86826130
That's small change for Hollywood.

Wouldn't that author have been pissed off over her representation?

>>86825049
maybe my favorite film of all time

realizing all the layers this movie has, super-impressed my plebby mind

Kaufman is literally me but with talent.

Everything about caring too much about what other people think at the end hits home way more than I like.

Has anyone else here heard Hope Leaves the Theatre?

>>86827260
What is it?

>>86827260
yes. probably my favorite thing kaufman has written after john malkovich.
>>86827389
audioplay with hope davis, meryl streep and peter dinklage. about a woman in a theater watching a play with charlies usual surreal shit happening

Sounds fucking great, I'll have to give it a listen.

What's Kaufman up to now anyway?

>>86828125
right now hes adapting the Chaos Walking books into a screenplay
he had a failed pilot for FX that had John Hawkes and Michael Cera
and hes been writing a book for a couple years

>>86828322
>Adapting something

So god knows what we'll end up with

>>86826234
No, it isn't. $19 million is $19 million for Hollywood too. They don't spend a dime unless everyhing points to them making it back.

>>86828622
Well they did make it back

>>86828654
That and an Oscar and 3 other nominations.

Frank or Frances WHEN?

>>86828892
the script is deep in the bowels of Sony Pictures

>>86829381
>Sony

Fuck

>>86828322
Do you know him personally?

>>86825405
Yeah, I hate Meryl Streep.

>>86830037

How was Nick Cage so good when he's usually so bad?

>>86830124

He's actually a good actor and you proved yourself to be underaged with that post.

>Charlie shits on his brother for being wrong all the time
>His brother ends up being much more successful than him in relationships and everything else

I know the brother doesn't exist but I'm the exact same with other people. Criticising them but not actually achieving anything myself.
