[edit] Missing Stuff
- Photo of Kaufman
- More information.
[edit] I like my cheese hot!
This article is out of date. Kaufman's latest script may be A Scanner Darkly based on a story by Philip K Dick. A film seems to be currently in production, but based on a different screenplay not by Kaufman. — 203.222.154.2 04:26, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
The film A Scanner Darkly is in post-production, written and directed by Richard Linklater from Dick's story. Kaufman's first draft of the script in 1997, but it's unknown if he revised it or wrote any others.

- Kaufman's screenplay for A Scanner Darkly was written for another studio. When the project changed hands, Kaufman's screenplay could no longer be used because someone else owned the rights to it. (Ibaranoff24 19:00, 27 June 2006 (UTC))
A horror film written by Kaufman and directed by Spike Jonze is in the early stages -- the plot is being kept under wraps.
[edit] Suicide?
Someone who knows better than I do should clarify this sentence: "In the world of the play, it was the last thing Charlie Kaufman wrote before he committed suicide." He is listed as a living person and IMDB also lists him as alive. I haven't done any research beyond that, but the sentence is extremely misleading. Was Charlie a character in the plan, similar to the deal with Adaptation? --Rocketgoat 21:30, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
This is misleading - Charlie Kaufman is not dead. This is a reference to the plot of Hope Leaves the Theatre. In the world of the play, its writer (a self reference to Kaufman) commits suicide. [1] --23:12, 7 March 2006 (UTC)Ed
[edit] Shivers
Shivers up whose spine? Was it Emily Dickinson or A.E. Houseman? Google seems to point to Mr H.
[edit] Quotes
I'm not a fan of this section (I haven't seen it on any other film pages), but I'm hesitant to remove it for some reason. Any thoughts? Robixsmash 22:11, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Middle name spelling, and Birth Date
Kaufman's middle name -- Stuart -- is spelled correctly in the body of his bio, but incorrectly over in the box on the right-hand side (Stewart). Also, his birth date -- November '58 -- is correct in the body of the Bio, but not in the right-hand box (September '58). I have no idea how to edit the offending little box...

- I fixed the middlename in the infobox and I changed his birthdate to November 1, 1958 throughout the article, but I'm still unsure of the proper birthdate.
- IMDB lists his birthdate as September 20, 1958
- http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0442109/
- These sites list his birthdate as November 1958

- These sites list his birthdate as November 1, 1958

- So I've gone with November 1, 1958 for now --Pixelface 00:22, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Adaptation-cage.jpg
Image:Adaptation-cage.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Personal Life details
Charlie Kaufman only has one child. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0442109/bio - it incorrectly states twice on the imdb page that he has 2 children, and then at the end in the trivia section it correctly states that he has one. He has one. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.47.129.172 (talk) 04:23, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
