Adaptation

Trivia: When this film was nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay at the 75th Academy Awards, the fictitious Donald Kaufman was nominated. This was the first time an Academy Award nomination was given to a fictional character.

Trivia: The "technology vs. horse" scenario that Donald tells Charlie he is putting in his screenplay was done in the movie 'True Lies'. Technology won, by the way.

Charlie Kaufman: I don't write that kind of stuff.
Donald Kaufman: Oh, come on, man, please? You're the genius.
Charlie Kaufman: Here you go. The killer's a literature professor. He cuts off little chunks from his victims' bodies until they die. He calls himself "the deconstructionist."
