Seymour Hoffman To Play Mr Crumpaker?

At the same Sundance event where he announced **The Well, Philip Seymour Hoffman has announced plans to make Mr Crumpaker and the Man From The Letter, a new comedy from writer and director Kazuo Ohno.

Oh yes! It's the story of an overbearing boss who starts a personal quest to discover the meaning of life, despite having absolutely no capacity for introspection or self-examination.

Hoffman's already starred in a few scenes from the film, shot as part of the Sundance Filmmakers Lab, and is now trying to get financial backing to make the whole thing on the strength of those snippets. Hoffman will produce the result as part of his Cooper's Town Productions, which he runs with Emily Ziff.
