Director Spike Jonze and writer Charlie Kaufman are planning to reteam together after two decades. Charlie Kaufman gave an in-depth, career-spanning conversation during his presentation of short film, “How to Shoot a Ghost” at at the Mostra de São Paulo in Brazil.

Kaufman has confirmed that he’s discussing another film with Jonze, as per World of Reel reports. Kaufman also confirmed he’s dropped an AI-themed project he was writing for “Moneyball” director Bennett Miller.

Jonze hasn’t been responsible for directing anything since 2013’s “Her,” that film is now so prescient for our times, and with AI currently advancing on overdrive, it is likely to become even more relevant as time goes on. No matter what, another collaboration between Jonze and Kaufman would be wonderful.

It’s absurd how long it’s been since they last worked together. Kaufman and Jonze broke out big with “Being John Malkovich” (1999) and “Adaptation” (2002), but haven’t made anything together since.

Kaufman is working on a new novel that centers on an actor who writes a book about acting, which has hints of “Adaptation“. His last book, ‘Antkind’, is a must-read for anyone who hasn’t read it yet. Kaufman has remained one of the most distinctive voices in cinema.
