Human Nature

[ASmith]

I just saw this film the other day and really loved it.  Funny and philosophical, this one is for those who are bigger fans of Adaptation than Eternal Sunshine, the latter being more serious, more about love and less eccentric. 

Can anyone think of a better actress that would actually have accepted Patricia Arqette's role in this film?  She did a fantastic job, as usual, but I wonder how many actresses turned, or would have turned, the part down.

from imdb...

'Steven Soderbergh ' was first interested in directing Charlie Kaufman's script back in late 1996, when Kaufman was still trying to get Being John Malkovich (1999) produced. Soderbergh's considerations for casting were for 'David Hyde Pierce ' in the role of Nathan Bronfman, 'Chris Kattan ' in the role of Puff (likely due to his character Mr. Peepers on Saturday Night Live at the time), and 'Marisa Tomei ' in the role of Lila Jute. He was about to go into pre-production when he was offered Out of Sight (1998) and after much deliberation he left the project.
