Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Soul

Above is the trailer for Cold Souls, a new film starring Paul Giamatti. It looks like a Charlie Kaufman film, but it isn't. It also looks like it could be interesting and funny, but it's hard to shake the Eternal Sunshine vibe in the trailer, especially during the part when Giamatti first visits David Straithairn's office -- I immediately thought of the scene where Jim Carrey asks Tom Wilkinson, "This is a hoax, right?"

Even if the movie ends up being derivative, here's the really awesome poster.

Cold Souls opens in limited release on August 7th, 2009.
