Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with some promising news for us Charlie Kaufman fans out there. He's sinking into the director's chair for the first time with his script SYNECDOCHE, NEW YORK, about a theater director who decides to put on a play in a gigantic warehouse with an immaculate recreation of a city in New York for its stage.

So far, Philip Seymour Hoffman is in talks to play the theater director, Catherine Keener is in talks to play his first wife, Michelle Williams for his second wife, Samantha Morton as his "sometimes lover," and Tilda Swinton for Keener's best friend and mentor to her and Hoffman's daughter.

New Kaufman is always of interest and that is now compounded with the fact that he's directing his own material for the first time. Spike Jonze is producing. The cast is great, Kaufman is great, so that means the movie will be great, right? Let's hope so!!!
