The new horror film from celebrated “Being John Malkovich” scribe turned “Synechdoche, New York” writer/director Charlie Kaufman has set a premiere date.
Jessie Buckley, Jesse Plemons, Toni Collette, and David Thewlis star in “I’m Thinking of Ending Things” which Netflix is set to release on September 4th.
An adaptation of the Iain Reid novel of the same name, Kaufman is likely to change up the source material much in the same way he did with “Adaptation”.
The book begins with a road trip as a young woman off to meet her boyfriend’s parents on their secluded farm, whilst at the same time she is thinking of ending things. When he makes an unexpected detour, leaving her stranded, a twisted mix of palpable tension, psychological frailty and terror ensues.
Kaufman’s version sounds a little different and is said to be an “exploration of regret, longing & the fragility of the human spirit”.
