NEXT BEST

I know I said no more Oscar-talk, but this is about next year’s Oscars, so it doesn’t count.

Before seeing Cold Mountain the other night, there was a trailer for Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. For those of you out there not as film-obsessed as I, this is the latest film from writer Charlie Kaufman who gave us Being John Malkovich and Adaptation, to just name a couple. Unlike those Spike Jonze-directed pictures, this one is helmed by Michel Gondry, a brilliant music video director who also did another Kaufman script, Human Nature.

The film has an amazing cast topped by Jim Carrey and also including Kate Winslet, Elijah Wood, Mark Ruffalo, Kirsten Dunst, Tom Wilkenson, David Cross, and Jane Adams. I know trailers are often deceiving, but movie looks incredible.

It opens March 19, and I’m not the only one who can’t wait. In fact, I was reminded of seeing the trailer by Lindsay’s post, imagining the (quite possibly true) pitch meeting.

  1. While I am interested in this film, I also saw Human Nature. I really wanted to like the film. Really. I tried and tried but in the end, it just kind of lost me. I hope this one is better.
