Your first reaction to that headline is probably going to be your jaw hitting the floor. But pick it up and relax. Yes, Charlie Kaufman has evidently done some script work on Kung Fu Panda: The Kaboom of Doom. But it’s just a polish, not a major rewrite. Still, does this mean that we’ll see a wild sequence of exquisitely realized self-doubt in the film? Probably not (or probably not in the classic Kaufman mode) but read on anyway.
THR reports that Kaufman has just finished “less than two weeks worth of work” on the Kung Fu Panda sequel.
The thing to remember here is that, while the story makes for a great headline, this isn’t really unusual behavior. (And THR notes this, too.) Many writers, great and small, get work polishing scripts all the time, and Kaufman has, in all probability, done the same gig on quite a few other movies. We just didn’t hear about it.
