After the Southern Gothic thriller elements of 2017’s The Beguiled and the broad rom-com antics of 2020’s On the Rocks, which saw Sofia Coppola departing slightly from the aesthetic territory that she’d staked so forcefully in her earlier work, Priscilla finds the filmmaker firmly back in her wheelhouse. Based on Priscilla Presley’s 1985 biography Elvis and Me, Coppola’s latest is another impossibly photogenic tale of fame, solitude, material wealth, and female desire in a world that often contrives to deny its existence. In conjunction with the film’s release, we ranked all of Coppola’s features to date. David Robb

Sofia Coppola movies are defined by desolate landscapes, lonely characters, a wry sense of humor, and painterly compositions. For fans of this aesthetic, it’s pretty hard to get it wrong, and Coppola’s nearly 20-year track record attests to the consistency of her talent. From her feature-length debut “The Virgin Suicides” through “Priscilla,” Coppola’s dreamlike visuals and deadpan tone have remained a distinctive voice in American cinema, one filled with gentle, forlorn faces and a world that always seems as though it’s on the verge of devouring them whole.
While Coppola’s career was set in motion to some degree by the influence of a very famous father, her filmmaking capabilities are hardly dictated by Francis’ accomplishments. The tough, masculine sagas of “The Godfather” and “Apocalypse Now” exist a world away from Sofia Coppola’s intimate portraits — all of which, it must be said, feature strong-willed women.

Film at Lincoln Center has teed up Sofia Coppola’s Priscilla as the Centerpiece selection for the 61st New York Film Festival.
The A24 film starring Cailee Spaeny as Elvis Presley’s wife, Pricilla Beaulieu, will make its North American premiere at Alice Tully Hall on Oct. 6.
The fest runs from Sept. 29 to Oct. 15, opening with Todd Haynes’ May December starring Natalie Portman and Julianne Moore.
Never has there been a more obsessed-over icon than Elvis Presley, yet no one knew him more tenderly than Priscilla, whose story as Elvis’s romantic partner and only wife has rarely been told from her perspective. Coppola, who often depicts women living complicated lives behind closed doors, follows Priscilla’s love affair with Elvis, played by Jacob Elordi, from her early years as a teenage army brat in West Germany to her surreal arrival at Graceland.

Sofia Coppola. Depostiphotos
Sofia Carmina Coppola is an American filmmaker and actress, born on May 14, 1971. She is the youngest child and only daughter of filmmakers Eleanor and Francis Ford Coppola. Sofia made her debut in the film industry as an infant in her father’s acclaimed crime drama film, The Godfather, in 1972. Later, she appeared in several music videos and played a supporting role in Peggy Sue Got Married in 1986. In 1990, Sofia portrayed Mary Corleone, the daughter of Michael Corleone, in The Godfather Part III, but her performance received criticism, which led her to shift her focus to filmmaking.
Sofia made her feature-length directorial debut with the coming-of-age drama The Virgin Suicides in 1999, which was the first of her collaborations with actress Kirsten Dunst. In 2004, she received the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay for the comedy-drama Lost in Translation, and became the third woman to be nominated for an Academy Award for Best Director.

“On the Rocks” is likely one of the year’s most anticipated films for many indie movie lovers as it marks the long-awaited reunion between “Lost in Translation” Oscar winner Sofia Coppola and actor Bill Murray. While the two worked together on the 2015 Netflix special “A Very Murray Christmas,” the upcoming comedy-drama “On the Rocks” will be their first theatrical release together in the 17 years since “Lost in Translation,” which won Coppola the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay and nabbed nominations for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor for Murray. Coppola took part in an online discussion with 92Y and Annette Insdorf this week and pulled back the curtain on the film’s storyline.
“This is Bill Murray and Rashida Jones. Yes, they play father and daughter, and she’s married to Marlon Wayans, a successful businessman who is traveling a lot and has a beautiful assistant,” Coppola said.

If you haven’t watched Netflix’s “A Christmas Prince” yet, then you’re missing out. It’s not that the movie is really all that good. It’s Ok, but we’ll get back to that in a second. What matters is that this fairy tale rom-com has helped Netflix begin its mission: to steal Christmas from cable networks.
While networks like Lifetime, Freeform, Up, and Ion have been cranking out some holiday rom-coms and programming, Hallmark is the undisputed leader of Christmas fare. The channel began its new original Christmas movies back in October, ruled over the five-day Thanksgiving weekend, and is still making a splash with yuletide movies like “The Christmas Train” and “Switched for Christmas.”

This week’s question: What are your winter holiday season viewing habits (that are not for work)? Do you have traditional go-to shows or movies? Are you looking forward to anything in particular?
Eric Deggans (@deggans), NPR
As I have written in the past, I’m not the kind of critic who loves holiday specials. Too often, they’re too hokey, too commercial, too weird (yes, Bill Murray, I still don’t get “A Very Murray Christmas”) or, in the case of countless Hallmark Channel movies, way too white. But I do have a few holiday media traditions, starting with my Spotify Holiday Tunes playlist, which gets fired up as...

Sofia Coppola has had quite a year. In Cannes, she became the second woman in history to win best director at the Cannes Film Festival for her Civil War drama “The Beguiled,” which received largely positive reactions. The movie landed in theaters under less-exciting conditions: She faced backlash against her decision to remove the sole black character in Don Siegel’s 1971 adaptation. Coppola fired back with a statement in IndieWire explaining her decision. Love it or hate it, “The Beguiled” wound up being quite the conversation-starter in the midst of summer movie season.

Some fairy tales don’t come true. Back in 2014, Oscar-winning filmmaker Sofia Coppola was attached to a Universal Pictures and Working Title production of “The Little Mermaid,” a live-action version of the classic (and, let’s be honest, pretty heartbreaking fairy tale) that didn’t pan out for a variety of reasons.
Coppola left the project in June of 2015 after being attached to it for over a year, eventually loading up her slate with such varied offerings as this week’s big release “The Beguiled,” her Netflix special “A Very Murray Christmas,” and even a filmed version of the classic opera “La Traviata,” but she still seems to be compelled by the reasons that pushed her to exit the feature, one that sounds like it would have been quite ambitious in its scope and creativity.

At a special event at New York City’s Film Society of Lincoln Center on Tuesday night — tantalizingly billed as “An Evening with Sofia Coppola” — the filmmaker engaged in a free-flowing and career-spanning chat with Fslc Deputy Director Eugene Hernandez, including an honest assessment of why she left the long-gestating “Little Mermaid,” and how choices like that continue to inform her filmmaking.
“It wasn’t the Disney version, it was actually the original fairy tale, which is much darker,” Coppola said. “I thought it would be fun to do a fairy tale, I’ve always loved fairy tales, so I was curious about doing that.”
Earlier this year, Coppola told Variety that she left the project simply because it was getting too big for her tastes. “I would have liked to have done that [film],” she told the outlet. “We couldn’t agree on some elements. When it’s smaller, you can have exactly what you have in mind. For me, it wasn’t a good fit.”
That was a theme she expanded on during the Fslc chat, offering up a clearer explanation of why she couldn’t make the Hans Christian Andersen adaptation work.
“It became too big of a scale,” Coppola said. “I wanted to shoot it really underwater, which would have been a nightmare. But underwater photography is so beautiful. We even did some tests. It was not very realistic, that approach. But it was interesting to think about.”
Coppola also balked at the more business-minded elements of the film, concerns that came part and parcel with the larger-scale project that “The Little Mermaid” seemed to be turning into.
“For me, when a movie has a really large budget like that, it just becomes more about business, or business becomes a bigger element than art,” she said. “When it’s smaller, there’s less people involved, it’s not so much at risk, business-wise.”
Read More: Sofia Coppola Has No Interest in Making a Blockbuster or a Sequel
At the time of Coppola’s departure, Deadline noted that “Universal and Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner are pressing ahead, with a Caroline Thompson rewrite on the story.” Earlier drafts of the script were written by Kelly Marcel and Abi Morgan, and other directors like Joe Wright and Rebecca Thomas were rumored to direct at various points.
Although Chloe Grace Moretz was cast as the eponymous mermaid in 2015 after Coppola’s exit, there’s been little other forward movement since that news. As of now, IMDbPro does list Thomas as the film’s director, with Richard Curtis on deck as credited screenwriter (the “Love, Actually” filmmaker joined the project post-Coppola).
Focus Features will release “The Beguiled” in select theaters June 23, with additional cities to follow a week later.

Looks like Sofia Coppola’s latest film will have an unexpected contemporary flair (paging “Marie Antoinette”), as The Playlist reports that French rockers Phoenix are scoring the Civil War-era drama, debuting at Cannes later this month. The outlet reports that the official Cannes Film Festival page lists the group as scoring the steamy feature, which should add an entirely new dimension to what already looks like a real banger from Coppola.
It’s hardly the first time Coppola has worked with the group (on the personal side of things, she’s married to frontman Thomas Mars), and the rockers previously provided songs for her films “The Bling Ring” and “Somewhere.” They even popped up in person in Coppola’s most recent outing, the music-infused Netflix special “A Very Murray Christmas.”

With the exception of her contributions to “A Very Murray Christmas” on Netflix, we’ve only been treated to three Sofia Coppola movies since her Academy Award-nominated “Lost In Translation.” That’s just not enough Coppola in our lives. For comparison’s sake, Joe Swanberg released six movies in 2011 alone; this isn’t a knock on Swanberg so much as it is an acknowledgement that whatever Hollywood executives are doing that prevents Coppola from making six movies a year, they need to fix it yesterday.

Excited for The Beguiled and finding the two months before its release a little too much to handle? Rest easy (or easier): there’s several minutes of new Sofia Coppola-directed material for you to take in; it’s just not exactly what you probably expect. Putting her stamp further on the culture and earning what’s likely a nice paycheck all the while, she’s directed the spring campaign videos for Calvin Klein’s women’s underwear line, reuniting with Kirsten Dunst (of The Beguiled and The Virgin Suicides) and Rashida Jones (of A Very Murray Christmas) while bringing along a slate of models to fill out this ensemble-of-sorts.
Says Coppola:
“I wanted young women to have something that treated them with respect and understanding. I just love Calvin Klein’s whole very American idea of women—and men, too,” she says. “The old Avedon commercials with Andie MacDowell,...

Sofia Coppola quickly emerged from the shadow of her filmmaker father Francis Ford Coppola by making her own brand of distinctly independent movies. From her short film Lick the Star to her feature debut The Virgin Suicides to her melancholy follow-up Lost in Translation to the splendid offbeat period piece Marie Antoinette to her touching character drama Somewhere to her sprightly crime flick The Bling Ring, Coppola has always brought her own personality and worldview to her work. She endeavored to make a new version of The Little Mermaid before creative differences arose in 2015. She cowrote and directed Bill Murray in A Very Murray Christmas and then moved on to a new version of The Beguiled, based on Thomas P. Cullinan's novel. A 1971 movie version starred Clint...

With a name to ring a dozen Hollywood bells every time it’s spoken a new film from Sofia Coppola will always bring a measure of excitement. The last film she produced was the Netflix Holiday special A Very Murray Christmas, which she directed and co-wrote with Bill Murray and Mitch Glazer. Before that she stood in the eye of the Californian fame hurricane with 2013’s The Bling Ring, which followed the languid Somewhere from 2010. Today her new film, The Beguiled, had its first trailer revealed and we’re a million miles from Tinseltown.
The film was adapted by Coppola from Thomas Cullinan 1966’s novel A Painted Devil and Don Siegel’s own cinematic adaptation of the story in 1971 (a film which shares the name The Beguiled).

Barring the delightful festive treat known as A Very Murray Christmas, it’s going on four years since Sofia Coppola’s last creative effort, The Bling Ring, dazzled moviegoers on the big screen. But that doesn’t necessarily mean the writer-director hasn’t been keeping busy.
In between work on documentaries like The Family Whistle, Coppola has been quietly pulling together a modern remake of The Beguiled, a new, star-studded interpretation on the novel A Painted Devil by Thomas P. Cullinan. Indeed, Cullinan’s period yarn has graced the screen before; back in 1971, director Don Siegel, Clint Eastwood and Geraldine Page tackled the family drama, which largely takes place in rural Mississippi during the height of the American Civil War.

Sofia Coppola last directed the Netflix special “A Very Murray Christmas,” but her last feature film seen on the big screen was 2013’s “The Bling Ring.” Now, the filmmaker returns with “The Beguiled,” a remake of Clint Eastwood’s 1971 film of the same name, which stars Kirsten Dunst as Edwina Dabney and Elle Fanning as Carol. After months of seeing photos from the set that the actresses shared on social media, Focus Features has finally unveiled the first trailer.
The drama is based on Thomas P. Cullinan’s 1966 novel “A Painted Devil” and is set during the Civil War. The story follows an injured Union soldier (Colin Farrell) who, while imprisoned in a Confederate girls’ boarding school, cons his way into each of the lonely women’s hearts, causing them to turn on each other, and eventually, on him. Nicole Kidman, Angourie Rice and Oona Laurence co-star.

It’s a feat that on the surface seems relatively impossible — “Michael Bolton’s Big, Sexy Valentine’s Day Special” can, theoretically, appeal to old-school fans of the legendary crooner, as well as anyone excited by these words: “a Lonely Island/Comedy Bang! Bang! production directed by Akiva Schaffer and Scott Aukerman.”

Simultaneously a telethon, an old-school variety special, and an absurdist lark, this Netflix comedy original is rightfully premiering the week before Valentine’s Day because, to be honest, it’s not all that romantic. It’s rich with the trappings of romance, to be sure. But it’s all in the name of wackiness, as presented by Michael Bolton.
There is something very puzzling about the idea of Michael Bolton as a source of comedy, something that’s only been touched on in his previous collaborations with the Lonely Island.

Simultaneously a telethon, an old-school variety special, and an absurdist lark, this Netflix comedy original is rightfully premiering the week before Valentine’s Day because, to be honest, it’s not all that romantic. It’s rich with the trappings of romance, to be sure. But it’s all in the name of wackiness, as presented by Michael Bolton.

Selections range from standards whose origins are self-evident (“White Christmas” was made famous by the film of the same name, while “Frosty the Snowman” and “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” are from the respective television specials) to a few you may recognize without instantly recalling where they’re from: Remember “Christmas Treat,” from the “I Wish It Was Christmas Today” skit on “Saturday Night Live”? Or Phoenix’s cover of “Alone on Christmas Day” that was in “A Very Murray Christmas”?

Last night, the Chicago Cubs won the 2016 World Series in the 10th inning of Game 7, ending a 108-year drought. Though many Cubs fans are overjoyed about their team finally wining a championship, there’s one fan in particular that seems especially thrilled: actor Bill Murray, a man seemingly emblematic of the Cubs fanbase. Watch his enthusiastic reaction to the Cubs clinching the game below.

It’s been three years since Sofia Coppola‘s last feature film (no, we’re not counting “A Very Murray Christmas“), and her return to the big screen couldn’t be more exciting. And not only has production started, we’re not going to have to wait long to see the result.

Director Sofia Coppola’s last project was the Netflix holiday special “A Very Murray Christmas,” a musical comedy film which follows Bill Murray making the most of a cancelled live Christmas special, but she hasn’t made a feature-length film since “The Bling Ring” in 2013. Her next film is a remake of the western “The Beguiled,” based on Clint Eastwood’s 1971 film by the same name, which itself was based on Thomas P. Cullinan’s 1966 novel “A Painted Devil.” A series of Instagram posts confirm that principal production on “The Beguiled” has begun. Check them out below.

Miley Cyrus came in like a wrecking ball when she took the stage to perform a special rendition of “My Way” for man of the night Bill Murray on Sunday evening at Washington D.C.’s Kennedy Center.

But her friend Murray â. who was receiving the 19th Annual Mark Twain Prize for American Humor â. was the first person to come to Cyrus’ defense, according to the Associated Press.

Hannah Montana taught us "Nobody's Perfect"—and that still applies to modern-day Miley Cyrus. The erstwhile Disney star performed Sunday night in honor of Bill Murray receiving the 19th Annual Mark Twain Prize for American Humor. Miley's rendition of "My Way" got off to a good start, but it wasn't long before she flubbed the lyrics. "I f--ked it up," she told the audience (as shown in this ABC News video). "I got too stoned. I smoked too much and forgot." Fortunately for Miley, her A Very Murray christmas co-star had a sense of humor about her forgetting a few of the lyrics. The 66-year-old actor laughed and shouted from his seat in the balcony, "This is...

Bill Murray was awarded the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor during an all-star fete at Washington, D.C.'s Kennedy Center, with friends and peers like David Letterman, Steve Martin, Jimmy Kimmel, Miley Cyrus, Aziz Ansari and Ghostbusters co-star Sigourney Weaver paying tribute to the actor.
"It's nice to be here and, as much as I dreaded this, I really had to come back to this idea that there is love, and that's ultimately what we came with and what we go with," Murray told the Kennedy Center audience.

Netflix, the world's leading Internet TV network, is bringing its members two brand new comedy specials from one of the funniest and most influential comedians of all time: the one and only Chris Rock. Marking the multiple Emmy Award-winning comedian’s return to stand-up after an eight-year absence, Rock will tape two all-new specials that will debut on Netflix around the world. The first show will tape in 2017, following a new world tour being planned now.
Ted Sarandos, Netflix Chief Content Officer said:
"Chris Rock is a beloved actor and director, and his remarkable stand-up makes him comic royalty. There is no one like him, and Netflix offers the global platform and creative freedom that will serve as a perfect home for someone with his incredible talent.”
Rock added:
“I'm very excited to be working with Ted and Lisa and all the good people at Netflix. I can't wait to get back on stage.

Peak TV finally got the Primetime Emmy Awards that it deserves.
Sure, “Game of Thrones” and “Veep” repeated their wins Sunday in the top drama and comedy series categories (giving HBO its second year of winning both). And legends like Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Jeffrey Tambor continued their trophy dominance.
But underneath that, a whole new generation of fresh faces picked up their first-ever Emmys on Sunday night. Actors and actresses that seemed like long-shots just a few years ago were instead embraced by a large voting body that appears ready to embrace the new talent earning raves in this new golden era of Peak TV. Superstars and newbies alike hit the stage, and even the surprise winners were hard to argue.

Miley Cyrus has vowed to never walk a red carpet again. “ I had to do the premiere, and I will never do a red carpet again,” Cyrus told Elle in a new interview. “Why, when people are starving, am I on a carpet that’s red? Because I’m ‘important’? Because I’m ‘famous’? That’s not how I roll. It’s like a skit–it’s like ‘Zoolander.'” Directed by Sofia Coppola, who guided Bill Murray to his only Oscar nomination in “Lost in Translation,” the hour-long “A Very Murray Christmas” finds the veteran comic star preparing to put on a live.

Quick Hits
Last Year’s Winner: “Bessie” Was It an Upset? Nope Hot Streak: HBO has won this category nine years in a row… Fun Fact: …but the network lost when the category merged with miniseries in 2011. The show that beat it? The PBS entry “Downton Abbey,” which would later be deemed a drama series, and thus, would have been ineligible the only year HBO has lost since 2004.

Okay, so here’s how “A Very Murray Christmas” can win an Emmy.
Voters skew hard toward American-made productions, snubbing their nose at the British entries “Luther” & “Sherlock: The Abominable Bride.” That leaves three choices. People realize that — while well-acted — “Confirmation” just isn’t in the same league as “All the Way” or “A Very Murray Christmas,” and decide to eliminate it from consideration.

Noah Hawley’s second season was even bolder than his first, but we’ve got to stick with our TCA pals and back “The People.” Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski’s anthology did what many deemed impossible by making O.J. relevant again, and the craft applied to...

Amy Poehler and Tina Fey made history Thursday morning. The pals were nominated in the Guest Actress in a Comedy Emmy category for hosting “Saturday Night Live.”
That’s not unusual — “SNL” hosts are nominated for Emmys all the time. But here’s what’s unique: Poehler and Fey were nominated as a single, combined entity. Earlier this year, the TV Academy accepted their joint submission, and their names appeared together on nomination ballots.

The Emmy nods have hit the Internet, and there are a few surprises among these stellar examples of Primetime TV. Game of Thrones leads the pack with a whopping 23 nominations, which probably will not surprise anyone who has tuned in to the show this season. It’s certainly one of the better programs on TV right now, and this season has been particularly stellar.
More surprising – and, in some ways, more deserved – are several nods to Mr. Robot, including an Outstanding Drama and Lead Actor In A Drama for Rami Malek. Christian Slater gets nothing, despite his Golden Globe win, but I guess we can’t have everything. While Malek has some serious competition in his category, including Hollywood heavyweights Liev Schrieber and Kevin Spacey, here’s hoping that he takes home the prize. He certainly deserves it.

The time to fill out your Emmy Madness Bracket is now. Wait, wrong event. But that would be fun, wouldn’t it? Kirsten Dunst slugging it out versus her network foe Sarah Paulson for Emmy gold. How about perennial favorite Game Of Thrones pitted against underdog newcomer Mr. Robot in the championship round? In the “peak TV” era, maybe a bracket formatted competition is the only true way to determine the best in the world of television.
Anyway, we’ll have to settle for fan polls and speculation as we countdown to the 68th Annual Emmy Award on Sunday, Sept. 18th on ABC. Until then, here is the list of nominees for the major categories. You can find the full list here.
