Brie Larson joins Kaufman’s “Ending Things

Oscar winner Brie Larson is finalizing a deal to star in “Being John Malkovich” and “Adaptation” director Charlie Kaufman’s next directorial effort “I’m Thinking of Ending Things”.

Based on Iain Reid’s 2016 novel, the story follows a man named Jake who is on a road trip to meet his parents on their secluded farm with his girlfriend (Larson), who is thinking of ending things.

When Jake makes an unexpected detour leaving her stranded, a twisted mix of palpable tension, psychological frailty and sheer terror ensues. Kaufman, Anthony Bregman and Stefanie Azpiazu will produce.
