Charlie Kaufman Working on an HBO Series to Star Catherine Keener
Catherine Keener in 'Synecdoche, New York'
Sony Classics
Deadline describes the project, still untitled, as "an exploration of one day in a woman’s life and how the events leading up to it can affect, or not, the reality in which she lives." Sound very... Kaufmanesque. Or like "Mrs Dalloway" meets "24," but funny?
This will be the first small-screen starring vehicle for Keener, who's worked with Kaufman before in "Being John Malkovich" and "Synecdoche, New York," and who's attached to his upcoming musical Hollywood satire "Frank Or Francis." She hasn't acted in television since appearing as Jerry's girlfriend in the "Seinfeld" episode "The Letter." Kaufman, of course, got his start in TV, having written for Chris Elliott's "Get a Life," "Ned and Stacey" and "The Dana Carvey Show" in the years before "Being John Malkovich."
Here's John Cusack's Craig Schwartz in that film, winning a date with Kenner's Maxine by guessing her name.

Now knowing that Charlie Kaufman used to write for Get A Life makes me respect him even more.
