One week earlier than Megalopolis would appear the most not possible time to think about one other Francis Ford Coppola film, however maybe that’s the actual dividing line between those that create and people who devour. Chatting with Brut Officiel, he confirmed work on adapting Edith Wharton’s The Glimpses of the Moon––in his phrases, “a whimsical, very interesting story that I love,” and hopefully adequate materials for a musical. And as Coppola stated final month, London is a perfect capturing location for its lack of connections together with his just lately departed spouse Eleanor.
Speaking to The Telegraph final week, Coppola additional detailed the mission: although taken from Wharton’s novel, it’s a “loose adaptation” bolstered by “strong dance and musical elements,” mixing novel and style into “a very odd confection.” For context’s sake, right here’s a publisher-approved synopsis of Glimpses:
Nick Lansing and Susy Department are younger, engaging, however impoverished New Yorkers. They’re in love and resolve to marry, however they realise their possibilities of happiness are slim with out the wealth and standing that their extra privileged associates take with no consideration.
Nick and Susy conform to separate at any time when both encounters a extra eligible proposition. Nevertheless, as they honeymoon in associates’ lavish homes, from a villa on Lake Como to a Venetian palace, jealous passions and troubled consciences trigger the idyll to crumble.
An acceptable subsequent pairing for Adam Driver and Aubrey Plaza? Time shall inform.
In the meantime, watch the full interview under, in addition to Coppola’s go to with Video Membership, which begins with the instant-classic quote “I don’t like streaming. You know who invented streaming? No one knows.”
