Jon Brion Scores New Charlie Kaufman Film
posted by The Joe
According to the Cannes press notes of Synecdoche, New York, screenwriter Charlie Kaufman’s directorial debut starring Philip Seymour Hoffman, Jon Brion will be in charge of score duties. Brion has previously scored the Kaufman-written Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, along with Magnolia, Punch Drunk Love, and I Heart Huckabees.
Nobody knows when it’ll see release just yet, but Synecdoche, New York‘s plot synopsis is as follows;
Theater director Caden Cotard’s life in Schenectady, New York is looking bleak. His wife Adele has left him to pursue her painting in Berlin, taking their young daughter Olive with her. A new relationship with the alluringly candid Hazel has prematurely run aground. And a mysterious condition is systematically shutting down each of his body’s autonomic functions. Worried about the transience of his life, he moves his theater company to a warehouse in New York City. He directs them in a celebration of the mundane, instructing each to live out their constructed lives in a growing mockup of the city outside.
