Susan Orlean, the writer of The Orchid Thief, which formed the basis for Jonze' film Adaptation - after it had first been filtered through the warped mind of Charlie Kaufman.
Orlean liked the eventual movie, even though it's not quite 100% about her book. After seeing an early cut, where she's portrayed by Meryl Streep, she commented, "it makes real sense now, as well as being insane - what a combination.
"I love that the story of the book is really whole and quite intact in spite of the whole web spun around it. i realized now what a good job Nic Cage does - two good jobs, in fact. i'm still really really excited and kind of giddy from it. Suddenly it's becoming very real to me."
