The Netflix psychological thriller I'M THINKING OF ENDING THINGS is a film I have been excited about ever since it was first announced, because it's written and directed by Charlie Kaufman, the writer of such films as BEING JOHN MALKOVICH and ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND. I can't wait to see what a thriller from Kaufman is going to be like – and judging by the newly released trailer, embedded above, it's going to be just as odd and quirky as I've been hoping.
Starring Jessie Buckley, Jesse Plemons, Toni Collette, and David Thewlis, I'M THINKING OF ENDING THINGS begins as
a sort of moody couple's road trip, in which Jake and his girlfriend drive out to his (slightly haunted) childhood home for her to meet his parents. On the way there, the sense slowly builds that things aren't quite what they seem; upon arrival, the pair are thrust in directions that bend the laws of reality, memory, and love.
A poster has also been released online and can be seen below.
I'M THINKING OF ENDING THINGS is an adaptation of author Iain Reid's "deeply scary and intensely unnerving" debut novel (which you can buy a copy of at THIS LINK). The film will be available to watch on the Netflix streaming service as of September 4th.
