Adaptation.

(2002)Directed by Spike Jonze115 min · RComedy, Crime, Drama
“From the creator of Being John Malkovich, comes the story about the creator of Being John Malkovich.”

Charlie Kaufman (Nicolas Cage), a screenwriter in L.A., wants one thing: to adapt Susan Orlean's book "The Orchid Thief" into a script that is honest, and he can't get past the first page. His twin brother Donald (also Cage) sleeps in his house and announces he's writing a screenplay of his own. Spike Jonze follows Charlie and Orlean (Meryl Streep) as each one's hunt for passion starts pressing against the other's.
