The screenplay of J. Alfred Prufrock

Adaptation

(2002)

Ah, Charlie Kaufman, ah, Spike Jonze--what have you done for us lately? Kaufman has screenplays for Confessions of a Dangerous Mind and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind to his credit since then, plus the opening-in-October Synecdoche, New York. Jonze, who hasn't directed a theatrical release since this, has Where the Wild Things Are (which he adapted with Dave Eggers from the Maurice Sendak classic) set for release next year, and IMDb lists Ripley's Believe It or Not!--a biopic starring Jim Carrey as "in talks." But I'm greedy--and I'd like to see them on the same bill again. (Rumor has it that Jonze is seeing Michelle Williams, who is in Synecdoche, so maybe she can broker a deal.)
