An Ain't It Cool correspondent has taken a look at Charlie's new script and, for an AICN review, it's pretty damn good reading. Looks like a literary masterpiece after the earlier two reviews. Plus it actually contains — hold the bus! — plot info. If you're spoiler-shy, avoid the review, but here's a safe excerpt:

Overall, this seems to be, by far, the craziest script Kaufman has written yet. It's beautiful and it's haunting and it completely throws logic or reality out the window while still managing to be full of ideas that I really haven't put the proper amount of time into thinking about. I'm not even close to sure what it is I just read, and if it ever gets filmed and you guys see it, I'm sure that leaving the theater, you won't be sure what it is you just saw.

[…] I really hope Kaufman is able to pull this off (I hear he's directing this one himself), and if he can, this may end up being one of the greatest accomplishments in the history of cinema.

Either that or a steaming pile of indecipherable, pretentious shit. You know, whatever. (Source.)

Every script of Charlie's has been called the “craziest ever,” but all three reviews of Synecdoche (even the negative one) have indicated that this one's particularly unusual. Still, Synecdoche seems to be in the same neighbourhood as Adaptation and “Hope Leaves the Theater.” It'll be interesting to see just how close it is to those two, and/or how much of a departure.

Thanks to Iggy Romero for the heads up!
