	"Best Screenwriting Magazine" -- LA Times
		Charlie Kaufman's self-obsessed script for Adaptation is at once multi-layered, moving, and funny -- providing him and his "brother" Donald each with their second Oscar nomination, and a generation of screenwriters a carbon from which to copy.
		Second, Kaufman ensured that the three main characters were each struggling with the same problem, the main theme of the story: the problem of adaptation.
		Kaufman and his script; Orlean and her New Yorker piece; Laroche and his quest for the ghost orchid.

		In these inspiring pages filled with breathtaking rooms, Kaufman and Dahl have visited homes in different regions of the country and explored the particularities of the light and air in each to show how colors were chosen to enhance the available light.
		Whether it be the veiled light of the South and Northwest, the dry air and harsh light of the desert, the misted light of northern cities, the incandescent light over water, the clear light of the mountains, or the glaring light reflected from snow, each has its own way of interacting with color indoors.
		Donald Kaufman and Taffy Dahl, authors of Color: Natural Palettes for Painted Rooms, are founding partners of Donald Kaufman Color, the country's foremost color consulting firm.

	SPLICEDwire \| Spike Jonze & Charlie Kaufman interview for "Adaptation" (2002)
		But right next to him is Spike Jonze, Kaufman's confident directorial collaborator on both this film and 1999's "Being John Malkovich," and he doesn't look any more at ease on this trendy piece of furniture than the screenwriter does.
		Kaufman: What I need to do when I'm writing something is figure out what it is I'm thinking about and where my energy is. And (this time) my energy was in the thought that I couldn't do it.
		Kaufman: The other person who worked there at the time was Valerie Thomas, who is played by Tilda Swinton in the movie.

		Given that Donald doesn't exist, however, it's not surprising that Charlie accepted the award on behalf of the Kaufman siblings.
		Kaufman, a former sitcom writer for American television, was initially hired to write a screen adaptation of The Orchid Thief, a non-fiction work by New Yorker magazine writer Susan Orlean that covered the legal travails of John Laroche, a devious Florida horticulturalist.
		Kaufman, on the other hand, was just trying to figure out whether Cage had based the film's Charlie on him or had used other sources.

	Donald Kaufman's Review of Adaptation
		Kaufman (Nicolas Cage) is a sexually frustrated, panicked writer who can't stand living with his twin brother, Donald, who is also played by Cage.
		Donald writes a film about a cop chasing a serial killer and his victim, and I started thinking to myself that THIS would be a pretty interesting movie as well.
		Kaufman and Jonze are real talents, and one never knows what to expect.

	IGN: Spike Jonze and Charlie Kaufman Discuss Adaptation
		Donald first came to light in the production notes for Malkovich, being the catalyst attributed to Kaufman and Jonze meeting and eventually becoming collaborators (the story goes that Charlie mailed his Malkovich script to Donald who was serving in the Gulf War.
		Donald shared the script with his fellow soldiers, one of whom happened to be a pal of Spike Jonze and conversely told Jonze about the script).
		It's just about having the experience of watching the movie with those questions and not ruining it." Kaufman nods his head in agreement, then adds, "Part of the experience of watching this movie is the experience of seeing that Donald Kaufman is credited as the co-screenwriter.

	Adaptation. - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		After the success of his screenplay for Being John Malkovich, Kaufman was hired to write a screenplay based on Susan Orlean's book, The Orchid Thief.
		Kaufman handed the script to his employers in the firm belief he would never work again.
		Blurring the lines between fact and fiction, Donald is not only credited as a co-writer for the film, but the movie's end credits feature a dedication to his memory (implying that, if he is indeed an existing individual, he died during the writing of the screenplay).

	OFFOFF film review ADAPTATION. movie by Spike Jonze with Nicolas Cage, Meryl Streep, Chris Cooper, Tilda Swinton, Cara ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Kaufman (the character) is adapting the non-fiction book "The Orchid Thief" (written by real-life New Yorker columnist turned author Susan Orlean) into a movie; Orlean is played by Meryl Streep.
		The ending of "Adaptation." is, as it turns out, a bit of a letdown especially since at one point in the film an authority on screenwriting suggests that an exceptional ending is what separates great films from merely good ones (so you're led to expect an extraordinary finale that never really transpires).
		But up until that point Kaufman and Jonze, along with a stellar cast, lead us on an imaginative, funny, and highly original journey into the Florida Everglades in search of an elusive and highly-coveted flower known as the ghost orchid.

		During a lunch meeting with a movie executive (Tilda Swinton), Kaufman tells her about his planned screenplay for “The Orchid Thief”: “I don't want to cram in sex or guns or car chases or characters learning profound life lessons or growing or coming to like each other or overcoming obstacles to succeed in the end.
		In Donald, Charlie sees what he really wants to be, but his highbrow respect for the “art” of screenwriting will never let him admit it.
		Donald is the ideal physical mirror, who has a girl on his arm (Maggie Gyllenhaal) because he is everything Charlie is not: self-assured, well-dressed, and an acting professional.

	Writer's block? Insert self into script. Problem solved! \| csmonitor.com
		Kaufman was facing an acute case of writer's block while trying to adapt Susan Orlean's book "The Orchid Thief" to the screen.
		Kaufman's script then intersects his own story with the action from the book, with Meryl Streep playing Orlean and Chris Cooper as the gap-toothed but brilliant Laroche.
		Jonze, who spent three years working with Kaufman on "Malkovich" before shooting began, says a similar timeline was followed with "Adaptation." The editorial process, he says, was much different from just putting together the film that they'd shot.
