Spike Jonze is a brilliant filmmaker. From Adaptation to Being John Malkovich, Where the Wild Things Are to Jackass, he has a unique view of things, typically informed by the writing of Charlie Kaufman. While Her is not a collaboration with Kaufman, it is an original concept from Jonze that sounds kind of intriguing until you watch the trailer and its massively talented cast. Then, it becomes very, very intriguing.
Joaquin Phoenix is Theodore Twombly, a heartbroken and lonely writer. In the throes of a post-breakup depression, Twombly develops an unlikely relationship with his newly-purchased operating system that’s designed to meet his every need (voiced by Scarlett Johansson).
The film co-stars Amy Adams, Rooney Mara, Olivia Wilde, Chris Pratt and Scarlett Johansson as the voice of “Samantha”.
Take a look at the trailer and see if you’d want to go running to theaters to see this.
