Adaptation


Picking up where ''Being John Malkovich'' left off, this film concentrates on the problems that the screenwriter for BJM had... he was assigned to adapt a non-fiction book to the screen, but was unable to do so. So instead, he wrote a movie about his ordeal doing this adaptation. Meanwhile, his twin brother was hammering out a serial killer yarn that Hollywood went mad over. This film blends reality with fiction, and sometimes it's difficult to know where the one ends and the other begins...
