In this seriously funny comedy about the power of romantic destiny, Joel (Jim Carrey) is stunned to discover that his girlfriend Clementine (Kate Winslet) has had their tumultuous relationship erased from her mind. Out of desperation, he contacts the inventor of the process, Dr. Howard Mierzwiak (Tom Wilkinson), to get the same treatment. But as his memories of Clementine are extinguished one-by-one, he realizes how much he still loves her. Trying to save some shred of their past together from destruction, Joel leads the doctor and his crew (Kirsten Dunst, Mark Ruffalo and Elijah Wood) on a wild chase through the maze of his subconscious mind. It soon becomes clear that Joel just can't get Clementine out of his mind.

NEW YORK (Variety) - Kirsten Dunst, who co-starred in summer blockbuster "Spider-Man," is negotiating to join Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet in "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind." The Focus Features drama will be directed by Michel Gondry from a script by Charlie Kaufman. The pair last collaborated on the offbeat comedy "Human Nature." Like Kaufman's "Being John Malkovich," much of "Sunshine" takes place in the recesses of the brain. Carrey will play a man who tries to erase a particularly steamy relationship he had with his ex-mate, and Dunst will portray an office receptionist who gets caught up in the complications of the memory elimination process. Dunst is currently starring alongside Julia Roberts in the Mike Newell-directed "Mona Lisa's Smile," and, if dates work out, she will move right to "Sunshine" in January.
