<P>--Charlie Kaufman on writing the script </P> <P> The idea to do a film adaptation of Susan Orlean's The Orchid Thief dates back to 1994 . Fox 2000 purchased the film rights in 1997, eventually selling them to Jonathan Demme, who set the project at Columbia Pictures . Charlie Kaufman was hired to write the script, but struggled with the adaptation and writer's block . Kaufman eventually created a script of his experience in adaptation, exaggerating events, and creating a fictional brother named Donald Kaufman . Kaufman put Donald Kaufman's name on the script and dedicated the film to the fictional character . By September 1999, Kaufman had written two drafts of the script; he turned in a third draft in November 2000 . </P> <P> Kaufman explained, </P> <P> The idea of how to write the film didn't come to me until quite late . It was the only idea I had, I liked it, and I knew there was no way it would be approved if I pitched it . So I just wrote it and never told the people I was writing it for . I only told Spike Jonze, as we were making Being John Malkovich and he saw how frustrated I was . Had he said I was crazy, I don't know what I would have done . </P>
