Filmmaker extraordinaire Francis Ford Coppola will be gracing everyone with his presence at the San Diego Comic Con this year to promote his latest film Twixt on Saturday July 23. The film stars Twixt Now and Sunrise
The last time Coppola attend Comic Con was 20 years ago when he presented some clips from Bram Stoker’s Dracula. It has been a long time coming ,but I’m pretty excited for the opportunity to see this legend take the stage in Hall H. The film stars Val Kilmer, Bruce Dern, Elle Fanning, and Ben Chaplin but it is unknown who will actually take the stage with Coppola at this point in time.
Below is some info about the film from the official Press Release:
…Coppola describes the film as, “one part Gothic romance, one part personal film, and one part the kind of horror film that began my career.”Coppola has a unique new approach to the presentation of the film that will incorporate live music by acclaimed independent performance artist Dan Deacon. Deacon will attend Comic-Con with Coppola to help demonstrate the interactive experience of the film. The film incorporates both 2-D and 3-D elements.
…This particular story came to Coppola during a vivid dream he had while on a trip to Istanbul and is inspired by the writings of Edgar Allen Poe and Nathaniel Hawthorne. The film also brings Coppola back to his horror roots that began during his apprenticeship with Roger Corman.
On attending Comic-Con Coppola says, “I fondly recall meeting the Comic-Con audience years ago when I brought them my DRACULA film. That experience made me not want to miss this chance to return with TWIXT.”
Below is the official synopsis for TWIXT
A writer with a declining career arrives in a small town as part of his book tour and gets caught up in a murder mystery involving a young girl. That night in a dream, he is approached by a mysterious young ghost named V. He’s unsure of her connection to the murder in the town, but is grateful for the story being handed to him. Ultimately he is led to the truth of the story, surprised to find that the ending has more to do with his own life than he could ever have anticipated.
