With Charlie Kaufman’s new movie I’m Thinking of Ending Things now streaming on Netflix, I recently spoke to the gifted filmmaker about a myriad of subjects. During the wide-ranging conversation, Kaufman talked about making the movie at Netflix, how his work leaves a lot open for the viewer to decide, what it was like in the editing room, why he doesn’t get nervous watching early cuts of the film, who he trusts for honest feedback, the challenges of filming the long driving scenes, and so much more. In addition, he talked about what happened to his adaptation of Slaughterhouse Five with Guillermo del Toro, if he’s thought about making future stop-motion movies, his possible HBO limited series based on the novel IQ 83, and more.
