Charlie Kaufman's Frank or Francis

[Sgt.Pepper]

Charlie Kaufman is set to direct a new feature film with Nicolas Cage, Steve Carell and Jack Black all attached to the project.

Plot:

A Hollywood satire about a director named Frank who clashes with a blogger named Francis.

The Playlist have more details on the script.

Looking forward to see this because not only is this movie a satire, but it's also a musical. Needless to say, I'm very interested to see how this will turn out.

 

[Ultra Lantern]

It looks interesting.I'll see this movie when it comes out.

 

[Crockett]

It sounds bizarre and hilarious, we can always count on Kaufman to bring in the goods and I'm glad he's stepping behind the camera again and with that cast, man that'd be fantastic.

awesome cast

 

[Tissues]

im in.

 

[Max J Power]

Sounds great. Cage was dynamite in Adaptation, and Carrell and Black are both actors I think would do well with one of Kaufman's scripts.

 

[Crockett]

Kevin Kline to play two characters in the film.

It's crazy that half of the film is a musical, so absurd and out there but it's going to be very interesting to see it.

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

Kline is a great addition to the cast.

Variety revealed the characters role that the actors will be playing.

Black will play Francis, a charmless yet extremely intelligent Internet troll who reviews movies online.

Carell is in talks to play Frank, a successful, somewhat pretentious filmmaker who is cheating on his wife.

Cage will portray The Emcee, an actor famous for commercial, high-concept films including his most recent hit, "Fat Dad."

As for Kline, he'll play Richard Waller, the brother of Jonathan Waller, the director of a fictional film titled "Hiroshima," the highest-grossing movie of all-time. Kline will also play Richard's Head, an animatronic head that, through the use of advanced screenwriting techniques, helps Jonathan develop a completely inoffensive product that will have the broadest possible appeal and zero artistic integrity.

My excitement for this movie is increasing with every bit of news.

 

[Crockett]

Kate Winslet and Catherine Keener joins the cast.

The cast list for this alone is enough to make me drool. Cage & Winslet did some of their best works in films scripted by Kaufman so I have high expectations for this.

 

[Pink Ranger]

Very, very, interesting.

 

[Ultimatehero]

Awesome. Cage is gonna rock in this! - Adaptation.

 

[darkseid26]

can't wait

 

[nite-owl]

I can't wait to see Cage in a fat suit.

Great additions to an already impressive cast. But going against yesterday's news, the article says that Winslet is not in the film.

 

[flickchick85]

You had me at "Charlie Kaufman musical." But this cast certainly adds to the excitement.

God I hope not.

Still, without her involvement, it doesn't take away from the brilliant cast Kaufman has assembled.

 

[Watchman]

I can't wait to see Cage in a fat suit.

This will be the greatest thing ever put on film.

 

[The Morningstar]

Cage wore a fat suit in Adaptation aswell didn't he?

I'm all over this film.

 

[Doctor Jones]

I'm sold. I will watch Cage do anything, but I'm glad to see him still picking potentially quality films (can't wait to see what GR2 is like)

 

[Tron Bonne]

This is so weird, but I'm sure it'll be good. I'd like to get into Kaufman's head sometime, just to see what it's like.

Did he? I thought he just gained some pounds. It was a pretty subtle fat suit, if he did.

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

Yep, Cage wore a fat suit in Adaptation.

 

[Tron Bonne]

Damn, that's weird. He just didn't seem that fat. Well, I mean, he was fatter than Cage generally, but not enough to make me think he had a suit on.

 

[The Morningstar]

I think it was just to make him look a bit "softer", coz yea, he didn't actually seem bigger.

 

[nite-owl]

Boo-urns.
