Gray Matter FX, which has created visuals for "The West Wing," as well as pics "The Majestic" and "Fight Club," has landed Spike Jonze's "Adaptation," reports Variety.
The Venice-based boutique is creating 125 3-D and 2-D shots for the Columbia Pictures film, which stars Nicolas Cage and Meryl Streep.
IMDB have the following plot summary:
An account of screenwriter Charlie Kaufman's (Cage) attempt to adapt Susan Orlean's (Streep) non-fiction book The Orchid Thief, which is the story of John Laroche (Cooper), a plant dealer who clones rare orchids then sells them to collectors. We see the action of the book as we see Kaufman struggle to adapt it into a movie. This is presumably a somewhat true story, as Charlie Kaufman is the real life screenwriter of Adaptation.
"We wanted to offer our clients a wider range of services under one roof to ease the production process and help maintain high visual standards," said Gray Matter co-founder Margaux Mackay.
"Adaptation" becomes Gray's third project with Jonze after "Being John Malkovich" and the Nike commercial "Morning After."
"Adaptation" is set for a December 2002 release.
