Francis Ford Coppola has somehow managed to sneak an entire movie under the radar, with news of his next film Twixt only emerging now that it has begun shooting.
Starring Val Kilmer, Elle Fanning and Bruce Dern, the film is being described by Deadline as a “thriller with horror overtones”, and is based on a short story by Coppola himself.
Kilmer has taken on the role of a horror novelist, and was apparently 71-year-old Coppola’s first choice for the part. No word yet on who the other actors are playing.
The story follows Kilmer’s hack horror writer, who suffers ghostly visions in a small town that lead him to investigate the death of a young girl (Fanning).
Coppola himself has divulged that the film draws on Nathaniel Hawthorne and Edgar Allan Poe for inspiration.
The director will be heading to Comic-Con this week to chat about the film, where hopefully we’ll get our first glimpse of Twixt’s trailer.
Twixt has yet to receive an official UK release date.
