Charlie Kaufman's Stop-Motion ANOMALISA Gets Its First Trailer

I've been looking forward to Anomalisa ever since I heard about the movie's Kickstarter campaign a few years ago. The stop-motion movie is co-directed by Charlie Kaufman (the writer of Being John Malkovich, Adaptation., and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind) and Duke Johnson (who directed the Community episode "Abed's Uncontrollable Christmas"), and aside from Mad Max: Fury Road — a film that couldn't be more different than this one — I can't remember the last time critics have gushed about a movie like this. It played the festival circuit earlier this year, and Paramount is releasing it in select theaters starting December 30th, which will allow it to qualify for the Oscars and compete against Inside Out in the Best Animated Feature category. (That should be very interesting.)

Check out the trailer below, and see what all the fuss is about:

Michael Stone, husband, father and respected author of "How May I Help You Help Them?," is a man crippled by the mundanity of his life. On a business trip to Cincinnati, where he's scheduled to speak at a convention of customer service professionals, he checks into the Fregoli Hotel. There, he is amazed to discover a possible escape from his desperation in the form of an unassuming Akron baked goods sales rep, Lisa, who may or may not be the love of his life.
