Netflix has released the first trailer for ‘I’m Thinking of Ending Things,’ a film by Charlie Kaufman. From Academy Award winner Charlie Kaufman (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind) and based on Iain Reid’s acclaimed novel, the film is written and directed by Charlie Kaufman with Toni Collette, Jesse Plemons, Jessie Buckley and David Thewlis starring in the lead roles.

The film is set to arrive on Netflix on 4 September 2020 at Netflix.

Based on Ian Reid’s 2016 novel, “I’m Thinking of Ending Things” follows Jake (Plemons), a man going on a road trip to meet his parents on their secluded farm with his girlfriend (Buckley), who is thinking of terminating their relationship. When Jake makes an unexpected detour leaving her stranded, a twisted mix of palpable tension, psychological frailty, and sheer terror ensues.

The official synopsis of the film says: "Despite second thoughts about their relationship, a young woman (Jessie Buckley) takes a road trip with her new boyfriend (Jesse Plemons) to his family farm. Trapped at the farm during a snowstorm with Jake's mother (Toni Collette) and father (David Thewlis), the young woman begins to question the nature of everything she knew or understood about her boyfriend, herself, and the world. An exploration of regret, longing and the fragility of the human spirit, I'M THINKING OF ENDING THINGS is directed and written by Academy Award® winner Charlie Kaufman (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind). Inspired by Iain Reid's bestselling namesake novel."

Earlier when the filming began, Brie Larson was considered to star in the film as "Girlfriend" but later Jessie Buckley was confirmed for this role in the film.
