KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON Star Lily Gladstone Set To Star in Charlie Kaufman's THE MEMORY POLICE
The best part of Killers of the Flower Moon was the performance delivered by Lily Gladstone. She was fantastic in the movie, and she’s just landed her next big film project. She is set to star in an adaptation of the 1994 sci-fi novel The Memory Police, which is being written by Charlie Kaufman and directed by Reed Morano.
The synopsis of Yoko Ogawa’s novel reads: “On an unnamed island off an unnamed coast, objects are disappearing: first hats, then ribbons, birds, roses—until things become much more serious. Most of the island’s inhabitants are oblivious to these changes, while those few imbued with the power to recall the lost objects live in fear of the draconian Memory Police, who are committed to ensuring that what has disappeared remains forgotten.
“When a young woman who is struggling to maintain her career as a novelist discovers that her editor is in danger from the Memory Police, she concocts a plan to hide him beneath her floorboards. As fear and loss close in around them, they cling to her writing as the last way of preserving the past. A surreal, provocative fable about the power of memory and the trauma of loss, The Memory Police is a stunning new work from one of the most exciting contemporary authors writing in any language.”
This seems like it will be an interesting project for both Kaufman and Gladstone. The story definitely seems like it fits right into Kaufman’s wheelhouse, who has made films such as Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Adaptation, and Being John Malkovich.
