\nSofia Coppola talks to Rolling Stone about franchises and original blockbusters.<\/p>\n
“I\u2019m so happy that there\u2019s movies that aren\u2019t superheroes. I mean, no offense [to those movies]. I\u2019m just happy that people are going to the theaters again.”<\/p>\n

Highly suggest people read the whole interview because even though it’s short it’s interesting!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
- She was working on her retrospective book so she was aware that she was repeating a lot with Priscilla <\/i>but is comfortable with it<\/li>\n
<\/p>\n
- Always aligned with the teen experience but now that she’s a mother of teens she feels like the villain in their life cause they’re pushing against her<\/li>\n
<\/p>\n
- Is diplomatic about Barbie<\/i> and Taylor Swift but clearly doesn’t care about either one of them. On Barbie<\/i> “I\u2019m glad that it was so successful and made for an audience of girls and women.” On Swift “It’s not my generation”.<\/b><\/li>\n
<\/p>\n
- Says people think she was just handed a career but she had to fight to be taken seriously so she doesn’t like joking about being a nepo baby.* Later with no self-awareness she mentions George Lucas casting her in Star Wars<\/i> cause she wanted to visit the set.<\/li>\n
<\/ul>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
- Interviewer brings up Bill Murray’s abuse allegations. Coppola\u00a0has positive experiences with Bill Murray but she says women should be believed and people show different aspects of themselves to different people<\/li>\n
<\/p>\n
- Would be comfortable with Priscilla <\/i>being her last movie but her husband says she says that after every movie<\/li>\n
<\/p>\n
- Took one meeting to direct one of the last Twilight <\/i>films but didn’t connect with it and found the grooming\/imprinting weird<\/li>\n
<\/p>\n
- Execs asked her why a 35 year old man would watch her version of The Little Mermaid<\/i> and she didn’t know what to say. Says this is often the case with financiers who are mostly straight white guys looking for movies that will appeal to them.<\/li>\n
