    Oscar Nominee Lily Gladstone Will Star in The Memory Police

    The adaptation of Yoko Ogawa's novel is written by Charlie Kaufman.
     

    Newly minted Oscar nominee Lily Gladstone (Killers of the Flower Moon) has a new project all lined up—and it’s kind of a doozy. According to The Hollywood Reporter, she is set to star in a long-gestating adaptation of Yōko Ogawa’s novel The Memory Police. Reed Morano (an Emmy winner for The Handmaid’s Tale) is directing the project, which is written by Charlie Kaufman (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind).The adaptation reteams Gladstone with her Killers of the Flower Moon director, Martin Scorsese, who is an executive producer on the project. 

    The Memory Police was originally published in 1994, and arrived in the U.S. in 2019. The English-language edition was a finalist for the National Book Award for Translated Literature and the World Fantasy Award. The novel’s synopsis says:

    On an unnamed island, objects are disappearing: first hats, then ribbons, birds, roses. . . . Most of the inhabitants are oblivious to these changes, while those few able to recall the lost objects live in fear of the draconian Memory Police, who are committed to ensuring that what has disappeared remains forgotten. When a young writer discovers that her editor is in danger, she concocts a plan to hide him beneath her floorboards, and together they cling to her writing as the last way of preserving the past. Powerful and provocative, The Memory Police is a stunning novel about the trauma of loss.

    The Hollywood Reporter broke the news that a new Jurassic World feature was in the works, with a script written by David Keopp, who wrote 1993’s Jurassic Park as well as 1997’s Jurassic Park: The Lost World.  The story will reportedly launch a “new Jurassic era” at Universal Pictures, which suggests that neither the stars from the recent films—Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard—as well as the OG cast members—Sam Neill, Laura Dern, and Jeff Goldblum—will be making any appearances.

    please excuse my ignorance, i'm genuinely curious, but shouldn't a religious leader (or some council of them) inaugurate something like that? i guess i don't trust politicians in general, especially in election years, and this is kind of "uncomfortable" given that a mosque was razed and there seems to be a growing nationalist movement. but i'm not Indian and my discomfort is really just something i feel, not a general condemnation of the temple itself ... not necessarily i guess ...

    Here is an excellent explanation
