“I wanted to do something that was a little bit lighter and more playful with a lot of heart and sincerity,” Coppola told EW. It’s been 16 years sinceLost in Translation, Coppola’s first collaboration with Murray, notched the filmmaker a Best Original Screenplay Oscar. Here’s what she had to say about the reunion:
“I never thought I could do something with Bill again, because people have such a fondness of him andLost in Translation. I could never recreate something like that, so I never wanted to touch it. But, all this time has passed, and I loved working with him and I love seeing him in film. We haven’t really seen him as this debonair, playboy father at this stage [of life], so I just had to get over it because nowwe’rein a different phase [of life].”
