Bored to Death: ‘The Case of the Missing Screenplay’ Preview

The brand-new October 4 episode of HBO’s latest original sitcom Bored to Death has the intriguing title “The Case of the Missing Screenplay .”

When George introduces Jonathan to Coffee and Cigarettes and Ghost Dog filmmaker Jim Jarmusch at a film-society party in New York, the author gets a nice surprise.

Since Jarmusch just happens to love Jonathan’s debut novel, he expresses interest in him rewriting a screenplay. Unfortunately, Jonathan leaves the script in his therapist’s office later after a hookup with a nubile young thing, and he asks Ray to pretend to be a patient in order to get it back.

Elsewhere, George gets beside himself when he bumps into his ex-wife Priscilla and her snotty new husband Richard Antrem, a publishing bigwig.

Preview “The Case of the Missing Screenplay” in the two clips below.

Bored to Death airs Sundays on HBO at 9:30pm ET.
