In a move sure to accelerate the coming of the Meta-pocalypse — in which "we" are all gonna "die," or whatever — Charlie Kaufman is making a stop-motion animated, Kickstarter-financed film with Community creator/showmartyr Dan Harmon. It's called Anomalisa; it's about a depressed motivational speaker who meets a woman who inspires him to turn his life upside down. Kaufman's writing the screenplay. Harmon, comedy writer and occasional Community actor Dino "Star-Burns" Stamatopoulos, and director Duke Johnson will executive-produce the film through Starburns Industries. That's the animation studio behind the stop-motion Community episode "Abed's Uncontrollable Christmas," as well as the Adult Swim pilot Rick & Morty, Harmon's first post-Community project that isn't an unrepentant, bridge-nuking Tumblr post or a semi-repentant, crack-analogy-laced, Ugg-slippered Marc Maron interview.

Here's one to get preemptively psyched on: Deadline is reporting that Charlie Kaufman is writing and directing an HBO comedy, and that this Charlie Kaufman-written-and-directed HBO comedy will star Catherine Keener.

It's a book. And it’s not one of those Urban Outfitter-front-table “Cute Guys Holding Sea Otters” type of book, either. The mind-exploding screenwriter is writing a proper, real-deal novel, one that will be released by Grand Central Publishing and then probably win a Pulitzer and be required summer reading forever and get on Oprah’s Book Club. (Wait, do they not do Oprah’s Book Club anymore? OK, then they will resuscitate Oprah’s Book Club for this one.) It hasn’t yet been announced what the novel will be about, so hopefully it’ll be a biography of his imaginary twin brother Donald? Nicolas Cage could do the audiobook!
