Anomalisa Trailer: Charlie Kaufman’s Stop-Motion Animated Drama

Charlie Kaufman’s Anomalisa trailer is here!

After receiving unanimously rave reviews (currently 100% on Rotten Tomatoes) upon its premiere at the Telluride Film Festival and winning the Grand Jury Prize at the 72nd Venice International Film Festival, Charlie Kaufman’s Anomalisa has debuted its first trailer and it’s a stunner. Filmed using stop motion, Academy Award winning screenwriter Kaufman (Being John Malkovich, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind) and his co-director Duke Johnson (“Mary Shelley’s Frankenhole,” “Moral Orel”) have created a grounded, arthouse look atypical of animation that is quite striking indeed. Check out the Anomalisa trailer below!

In the film, Michael Stone (David Thewlis) is an author of books on the subject of customer service who struggles with his inability to connect to people and ultimately feels crippled by the mundanity of his life. One night, while on a routine business trip, he meets a stranger who changes his world view.

The voice cast of Anomlisa includes David Thewlis (The Theory of Everything, The Zero Theorem, the Harry Potter films) as lead character Michael and Jennifer Jason Leigh (The Hateful Eight, Synecdoche, New York, eXistenZ) as his love interest Lisa, while noted character actor Tom Noonan (The House of the Devil, Manhunter, “Hell on Wheels”) voices every other character in the film. Kaufman and Johnson produced along with Dino Stamatopoulos and Rosa Tran.

Paramount Pictures will release Anomalisa on December 30 in limited theaters in time for Oscar consideration.
