Publisher's Synopsis
Nicolas Cage takes the lead in this film about screenwriter Charlie Kaufman's struggle to adapt Susan Orlean's book 'The Orchid Thief' for the big screen. Riding high on the success of his hit 'Being John Malkovich', Kaufman finds himself in much demand around Hollywood. But this doesn't make the task of adapting Orlean's (Meryl Streep) book about orchid hunter John Laroche (Chris Cooper) any easier. In fact, the troubled writer finds himself in so much trouble that he calls on his clueless twin brother Donald (Cage also) for help. Written and directed by 'Being John Malkovich' cohorts Charlie Kaufman and Spike Jonze.
