Recently, Sam Mendes ( The Road to Perdition, Away We Go ) said the script for Preacher — an adaptation of the DC/Vertigo comic book series — is about halfway finished. Now it appears that John Cusack, who’s starring in the upcoming 2012 , may want in on it. In an interview with io9 , Cusack described a comic book movie circulating around Hollywood that he’s trying to get himself...

The Guidelines: Random notes from pop culture Sophie Barthes's engaging new comedy Cold Souls is the latest of a new breed of films that can be called "Kaufmanesque", with deference to the screenplays of Charlie Kaufman. In Kaufman's work, reality falls prey to meta-textual and metaphysical influences, usually with bittersweet, hilarious results. His shadow falls on Barthes's film, in which...

Sreenwriter Charlie Kaufman, who spun American cinema on its head with striking scripts for "Being John Malkovich" and "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind," goes for fiendishly obsessional, intellectual acrobatics in his directorial debut. "Synecdoche, New York" is monumentally ambitious — so crammed with literary innuendo and references galore the distributors...

Final weekend, AIK lead IFK Göteborg atop the Allsvenskan table by a lone, solitary, unloved point. AIK play, you guessed it, IFK Göteborg in Gothenburg; Charlie Kaufman could hardly have scripted this better. With matters level at one late on (4.10 post-jump), Stefan Selakovic of IFK unleashes the most audacious left footed curler from the [...]

Spike Jonze cannot go another seven years between making movies. That much is clear after finally taking in Where the Wild Things Are. There's too much swirling around in his imagination and not enough years in a lifetime to get it all out. The amazing thing about Jonze's film career, of course, is that he's been so creative while working on other people's visions -- Charlie Kaufman's on the

Spike Jonze's heavily anticipated, hipster Where the Wild Things Are , from a screenplay by Jonze and Dave Eggers , succeeds in nothing so much as the clarifying the substance of the director's authorship, thanks largely to Charlie Kaufman's absence in the film's pre-production (marking a first in the director's three feature career). Whereas both of Jonze's previous films supplied a distinctive sensibility...

[Yes, Cold Souls' time has come and gone in North America but with the film screening here at the Sitges Festival now seems a good time to revisit one of the years quiet gems.] A darkly absurd, surreal high concept scifi comedy, Sophie Barthes' Cold Souls plays like a Charlie Kaufman film on quaalude. Though it may be just a touch too sedate at times it is nonetheless a striking, sensitive and very...

Charlie Kaufman's first film as both writer and director is so bizarre that it makes his screenplays for Being John Malkovich, Adaptation and Eternal Sunshine... look like Richard Curtis rom coms.

In the US : Sundays, 9.30pm, HBO As you may recall from my preview of the first two episodes , the title of Bored to Death pretty much summed up the whole show. Milquetoast writer Jonathan Ames tries to become a hard-boiled detective, both to inspire his next novel and to get girls following the break-up of his relationship. But he discovers that being a PI is harder than it looks – although...
