Francis Ford Coppola Returns to Italian-American Family Dramas With New Film
22 May 2013 3:00 PM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
Hey, it certainly sounds better than Twixt. THR reports that Francis Ford Coppola is readying a new feature that should appeal to more of his traditional fanbase. The film is currently untitled, but the outlet reports that it “will chronicle an Italian-American family and span from the 1930s to the 1960s.” The project is also described as “a coming-of-age story that focuses on a boy and girl in their late teens.” While details are obviously slim as of now, The Wrap’s Jeff Snider also tweeted today that “Dance will be a key element in the new Francis Ford Coppola movie. That’s all, folks.” So that’s…something. Oh, is this going to be a new Dirty Dancing? Is that it? Coppola is currently writing the screenplay himself, and while the project has no firm studio commitments (despite having offices on the Paramount lot), a pair of casting directors have already been brought on (Courtney Bright and »

Francis Ford Coppola To Direct Another Italian-American Saga
22 May 2013 2:26 PM, PDT | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »
This one won’t have gangsters. Probably won’t have gangsters. Actually, there’s a higher probability of gangsters than anything else. Anyways, if you’ve forgotten who Francis Ford Coppola is (other than the father of Sofia Coppola), he’s that guy that directed a few small movies under the banner of The Godfather? Yeah? Ok, so we’re all on the same page. Well, he’s planning on directing another saga about an Italian-American family that will not involve Al Pacino killing people in Italian restaurants.
Coppola is reportedly working on a screenplay that will play as a coming-of-age story about a boy and girl in their late teens. Paramount is providing office space, but little else, with no current plans to bankroll or distribute the movie once it gets made. If it gets made.
Forgive me for being skeptical. Coppola has had a bit of tough time »

Francis Ford Coppola is Developing a Period Italian Family Drama
22 May 2013 1:35 PM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
After tackling the Italian family drama that unfolded from The Godfather trilogy, director Francis Ford Coppola will again chronicle the Italian-American life experience for a new untitled film with a story unfolding between the 1930s and the 1960s. THR reports Coppola is currently writing the film, for himself to direct, about a boy and a girl in their late teens. There aren't anymore details than that, but it's said to be a coming-of-age story. As of now the project isn't set up at a studio, so there's no financing or distribution deals in place, but Coppola could always go the indie route like he did with his last self-financed film Twixt. Of course, Twixt never really took off as an intriguing piece of filmmaking, and this sounds much more accessible and commercial, especially coming from the director of The Godfather. Though Coppola's films as of late have been much more low key, »

Francis Ford Coppola Directing New Italian-American Saga
22 May 2013 11:53 AM, PDT | Moviefone | See recent Moviefone news »
Francis Ford Coppola is returning to his “Godfather” roots No, the legendary director isn't making a sequel or prequel or reboot. But he will be writing and directing a new, decades-spanning Italian-American saga. According to the Hollywood Reporter, the movie will be “a coming-of-age story that focuses on a boy and girl in their late teens” and will be set from the 1930s through the 1960s. Since “The Godfather” series ended in 1990 with the poorly-reviewed third film, Coppola has directed but rarely. He helmed “Bram Stoker's Dracula” with Keanu Reeves and Winona Ryder in 1992, then worked with Robin Williams in the critically-reviled “Jack.” His last big movie was 1997's “The Rainmaker,” based on the book by John Grisham. In the last decade, Coppola has stuck to the arthouse world, making indie movies “Youth Without Youth,” “Tetro,” and “Twixt.” Perhaps the Coppola patriarch was inspired to keep up with his two surviving children, »

Francis Ford Coppola Planning to Direct New Italian-American Saga; Will Span from 1930s to 1960s
22 May 2013 9:12 AM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
Francis Ford Coppola was one of the biggest filmmakers of the 1970s, but over the following decades, his stock began to decline. After a 10-year absence following The Rainmaker, Coppola returned with micro-budget, seriously art-house pictures that struggled to find distribution. His latest picture, Twixt, had ambitious plans including a tour that would feature live-editing of the picture, but ended up only played at film festivals and has yet to see an American release. But now Coppola plans to return to the genre that catapulted him to stardom with The Godfather. According to THR, Coppola is planning to direct an Italian-American family drama that will span from the 1930s to the 1960s. The filmmaker is working on the screenplay, "which is described as a coming-of-age story that focuses on a boy and girl in their late teens." The production has offices set up at Paramount (home of The Godfather), but »

Francis Ford Coppola's 'Twixt' Finally Coming To Blu-Ray & DVD In The U.S.
17 May 2013 9:05 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
After a long, long absence from filmmaking, legendary "The Godfather" helmer Francis Ford Coppola resurfaced a few years back with some of his most impressive works since the early 1980s. We didn't wholeheartedly adore either "Youth Without Youth" or "Tetro," but there was still much to admire, and furthermore, they felt like Coppola had returned to filmmaking with the vigor and energy of a young man, suggesting much more to come. His next film, "Twixt," continued that approach; an experimental, partly 3D horror film starring Val Kilmer and Elle Fanning, which Coppola planned to take on the road, remixing the film live with an iPad. It was an impressively forward-thinking approach for the veteran filmmaker, even if, according to most of the reviews, including our own, it worked better in theory than in practice. The film never had a real release, though it did pop up on one screen on the West Coast in August, »

Rope of Silicon Movie Club: 'The Outsiders' (1983)
24 April 2013 11:03 AM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
In 1983, Francis Ford Coppola had plenty of greatness under his belt from The Godfather, The Conversation, The Godfather: Part II and Apocalypse Now, but some may say 1982's One from the Heart was the beginning of the end... at least the end of the Coppola we came to know in the '70s. Sure, The Godfather: Part III saw seven Oscar nominations, but ask anyone and they're sure to point it out as the weakest of the trilogy by a mile. Films such as Peggy Sue Got Married, Dracula and even The Rainmaker aren't half-bad and I'll happily admit to loving 90% of Tetro, but the Coppola star doesn't shine as it once did. Such a situation can result in films being forgotten, overlooked and never revisited again. The lack of appreciation for the last 30 years of Coppola's directorial career has allowed me to easily avoid -- wrongly or not -- »

Exclusive: Roman Coppola Talks Charles Swan, Breakups, And Wes Anderson
14 February 2013 2:01 PM, PST | Twitch | See recent Twitch news »
I had the pleasure a few weeks ago of chatting with Roman Coppola, writer/director of the irritatingly titled A Glimpse Inside the Mind of Charles Swann III. This is the first feature from Coppola sitting in the director's chair since 2001's Cq, but he's certainly kept busy, working on the second unit on family productions -- his sister's Lost in Translation and Marie Antoinette, his father's Tetro and Youth Without Youth -- as well as helping write and second unit direct more than one project with Wes Anderson. It's Anderson's quirky style that is most hearkened by this film, yet, as I mentioned in my review, it lacks the kind of coherence and sense of satisfaction one gets from Anderson's playful pieces. Still, there's a...

'Beautiful Creatures' (2013) Movie Review
13 February 2013 10:00 AM, PST | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
Comparisons to the Twilight franchise will obviously be made as Beautiful Creatures, adapted from the best-selling novel by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl, focuses on a love between a human and a supernatural being. In this case vampires are replaced with witches and it's the girl with the powers and the boy who's initially smitten. The difference, however, is in the quality and it will be an interesting test to see just how well this film does. After all, Harry Potter had its own share of cinematic imitators, but in the case of Potter the original was still, arguably, the better. Thus the failures from Eragon to Cirque du Freak. So, just what will come of Beautiful Creatures? A film with an impressive cast and performances, a none-too-original premise and a story that holds itself together well enough to satisfy the run time despite a few hiccups and restarts along the way. »

‘Beautiful Creatures’ Interview with Actors Alden Ehrenreich and Alice Englert
13 February 2013 8:11 AM, PST | The Scorecard Review | See recent Scorecard Review news »
Based on the young adult novel by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl, Beautiful Creatures is a story of a young man named Ethan (Alden Ehrenreich) who falls for the “different” new girl in school, Lena (Alice Englert). As Ethan begins to get close to Lena, he learns more about her family’s dark supernatural secrets, which are fatally related to past events from their town of Gatlin, South Carolina. As one can imagine, this film has Twilight-like potential, with three others books in the franchise that could readily be made into sequels.
Directed by Richard Lagravenese, the film features lead performances from two relative unknowns, who act opposite the likes of Viola Davis, Emma Thompson, Jeremy Irons, Thomas Mann, and Emmy Rossum.
The daughter of director Jane Campion, Alice Englert has appeared in Ginger and Rosa opposite Elle Fanning, and also had a part in recent Sundance Film Festival movie In Fear. »

Is This 'Twilight' Spinoff Better Than 'Twilight'?
13 February 2013 6:04 AM, PST | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
The genders have been reversed but the supernatural, star-crossed teen angst remains firmly intact in "Beautiful Creatures," which clearly aims to pick up where the "Twilight" franchise left off.
Writer-director Richard Lagravenese's film, based on the first novel in the young adult series by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl, oozes Southern Gothic eccentricity and some amusing if inconsistent touches of camp. (A droll, drawling Jeremy Irons sitting at the piano playing Chopin? Margo Martindale in a feathery hairclip, carrying a live peacock? Yes and yes, please.)
But a strong cast of likable and, yes, beautiful actors can only do so much with the formula in which they're forced to work. And, like the "Twilight" movies, the special effects are all-too often distractingly cheesy.
The setup breathes some new life into such familiar material, though, as co-stars Alden Ehrenreich and Alice Englert feel like actual awkward teens enjoying the fraught »
