(Misleading) Trailer Watch: Anomalisa, Charlie Kaufman and Duke Johnson’s Stop-Motion Feature
Here we have a first trailer for Charlie Kaufman and Duke Johnson’s keenly anticipated stop-motion animation romance/drama/something Anomalisa. By all accounts, this trailer is wildly misleading about the movie’s depressive tone: on Twitter, Brick/Looper director Rian Johnson observed that “It’s a little like that recut The Shining trailer awhile back, which I think is great.” The movie comes out in limited NY/LA release on December 30, with a platform expansion to follow.
