I agree with Darren Aronofsky and Tilda Swinton, but Viggo Mortensen does not fit with Kaufman. Perhaps Brad Pitt or Elijah Wood would be better choices.

Johnny Depp would be cool but everyone suggests him for every role so I didn't bother saying him. Haha.

haha yeah. I think that he would be interesting, but like you said, everyone suggests him for everything. I don't know if Kaufman would do it for originality purposes.

I would have loved to seen him work with Billy Wilderor Jim Jarmusch, Alfonso Cuaron, Marc Forster, Yimou Zhangand yes, seeing him work with Lynch would be, wow.

Why are we talking about actors?
I agree with Jarmusch, Korine, Lynch, Coen Bros. but how about.

Aronofsky would be awesome. I'd also be interested in seeing Julie Taymor and Alfonso Cauron direct Kaufman screenplays. Both would yield interesting results, I'm sure.

Hate to go bland here but Tarantino & Thomas Anderson would be cool just cause of their youth & the Coen's cause of their sens of humor.

I love pretentious movies. I hate it when movie won't try hard enough.

Wes Anderson because an incredibly ambivalent movie would result. Wes Anderson's stuff is very nostalgic and has a lot of empathy for the characters, whereas Kaufman's stuff is the complete opposite.
But yeah, most of the ones I'd like to see have been named already- Woody Allen, Richard Linklater, David Lynch, Paul Thomas Anderson, Coen Brothers, David Fincher, Terry Gilliam, Jim Jarmusch etc.
I'll throw in a few more:
Cronenberg- there's a lot of elements of body horror in Kaufman's scripts
Jean-Pierre Jeunet- sort of in the same league as Wes Anderson, but a bit more out there and morbid, probably more fitting in with Kaufman's style.
And some dead guys:
Jean-Luc Godard
Stanley Kubrick

Jean-Luc Godard isn't dead, but that would be awesome if he directed one.

Kubrick, would definitely have fun with one of his scripts. As for a living director I agree with those that mentioned Lynch.

I think Cronenberg is a great choice. Edgar Wright would be great for the more comedic elements.

This thread is pointless. I don't think anyone other than Charlie Kaufman will be directing Charlie Kaufman screenplays from here on out.
Anton Chigurh is dead and Spider-Man 3 is superior in every way to Funny Games.
