Some insane news broke over at Deadline who is reporting that Francis Ford Coppola Apocalypse Now, Dracula, The Godfather) has begun quietly directing his next feature, Twixt Now And Sunrise, a thriller with overtones of horror starring Val Kilmer! Also in the cast are Elle Fanning (Super 8) and Bruce Dern (who long ago starred in the Coppola-scripted The Great Gatsby). But the picture’s fulcrum is Kilmer, who plays a horror novelist. The film is based on a short story written by Coppola. It is shooting in Napa, on Coppola’s property. Coppola hasn’t tackled the horror genre since early in his career, when he directed Dementia 13, and of course Bram Stoker’s Dracula (an incredibly underrated flick).
