This is the trailer for Shelter (via Collider), a multiple-personality thriller that wrapped in 2008, but hasn’t been released yet, probably because it’s so… good. In Adaptation, Charlie Kaufman’s parody of Hollywood is that his idiot brother Donald writes a lame thriller about multiple-personality disorder that his agent loves. Life imitated art in 2003 when Identity came out, and it had almost the exact same plot as the fictional Donald Kaufman’s crappy script (“It’s all in his head! Isn’t that f*cked up?!”). And now the writer of Identity (who also directed Jack Frost, incidentally) is back with Shelter, and guess what? Jonathan Rhys-Meyers has multiple personalities! And one of them might be… the devil!
“Mom called it ‘Psychologically taut.’”
(This isn’t really related, it just makes me want to gay marry Brian Cox.)

Me, Myself & Irene have Primal Fear?
GOLD. MINE.
Red-head doctor, multiple personality disorder, the devil? This was better when it was an X-files episode.
*pushes nerd glasses back up onto bridge of nose*
Damn, you beat me to the Scully reference.
BRRRRRRRRAAAAAAGGGHHHH…. I ALSO LOVE MULTIPLE PERSONALITY DISORDER!
ME TOO, SUGARTITS!
I also love it very much!
I think one of my personalities is the Tazmanian Devil. I wake up covered in slobber and there are tornado-shaped holes in all of my shit. It’s fucking annoying.
Yeah, Hollywood likes forshak like this just fine until they find a morbidly obese guy in a Punisher t-shirt fucking their pet dog in the back yard.
ONLY THEY DON’T HAVE A PET DOG!
I thought I had multiple personalities once. But it was just PMS.
Am I right, ladies?!
A fifi is “psychologically twat”. And I’m back.
Also, I love shoes and men just can’t commit.
Mitch Ryder loves one of my personalities.
Let’s just say it’s the evil one with a penchant for cross-dressing and a love for the azure shades.
*struts off to corner*
Luckily I don’t have this problem…
*looks down*
…dear lord!
One of my personalities is the lord of evil, but with OCD.
I guess you could say that with this one…
*sunglasses*
The devil’s in the details
YEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!
I believe a slow clap is in order.
I wish I had a personality…
H’mm, i wonder if an obvious Rolling Stones track will appear on the soundtrack. My guess would be (I can’t get no) Satisfaction.
I’m guessing “Start Me Up” because this guy is running simultaneous applications.
is this gonna be the next 3d-like fad?
“you know, we really like your abraham lincoln biopic, but is there any way he could have multiple personalities? like maybe theres a side of him like hitler that wants to kill all the blacks! he could even fight HIMSELF on the battlefield so it would be like ‘fight club’ meets ‘glory’!”
*director puts his hand on his forehead in frustration*
the only acceptable film genre where i let MPD plot devices slide, is j-horror. and that’s only because there’s a 70% chance of nudity, and a 93% chance that that nudity will be sexy.
My social disorders class in college was psychologically taught.
