Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind Writer Casts Day of the Jackal & MCU Stars for New Mind-Bending Film

A new project from the creator of the cult classic, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, is currently in the works and is set to feature an impressive cast.

Charlie Kaufman, the writer behind Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, is currently working on his latest film, Later the War, which will star quite a few big names. Per Deadline, the project will feature Eddie Redmayne from Day of the Jackal and Tessa Thompson, known for her role as Valkyrie within the MCU. Additionally, actress Patsy Ferren, primarily known for her work in theater as well as her role in the upcoming Mickey 17, has also been vetted for the project. The film is set to be produced by Ken Kao and Josh Rosenbaum, along with Sarah Green and Steven Demmler.

The acclaimed series is a huge hit for the streamer.

Later the War will be an adaptation of the short story Debby’s Dream House by author Iddo Gefen. The original short story was about a man who manufactured dreams and, later, nightmares for people. The plot details of Kaufman’s rendition of the story are currently unknown.

The Filmography of Kaufman

Both screenwriter and director, Kaufman is arguably best known for the sci-fi rom-com Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, starring Jim Carrey as Joel Barish and Kate Winslet as Clementine Kruczynski. By far, Kaufman’s most successful film, grossing $73 million at the box office, follows the gut-wrenching story of a broken-up couple where one chooses to erase their memories of the other.

Kaufman’s most recent film, Orion and the Dark is stylistically far different from the filmmakers’ typical work. Unlike previous animated film, the r-rated Anomalisa, Orion and the Dark was far more family-centered than his usual work while retaining some more grim elements.

Currently, there is no release date for Later the War.
