The film producer on his famous dad, working with Wes Anderson and his plans to visit Luna Park when he’s in Melbourne later this month.
Disney had a slogan I quite like: “It’s kind of fun to do the impossible.”I don’t have a library in my house, but a library would be a favourite kind of room — to be surrounded by books.I’m a fan of this artist named Enoch Bolles who’s a 1930s illustrator of pin-up art.I feel our communication systems are inadequate – I’m speaking of email and texts as the way we go about communicating.
He is, though, upfront about what the project means to him emotionally. “I’m very proud, not only that I’ve been involved, but that my dad … you know, he’s this 84-year-old guy who’s won all the accolades, and been successful in his business life, but that he’s feeling that drive to go for it and make something ambitious and artistic and personal.”For his father, he says, filmmaking is often a matter of trying out ideas in the moment rather than deciding everything in advance.
Since Coppola has also directed second unit on several Wes Anderson films, I wonder how the experience compares. “Wes is very particular, where he has something in his mind,” Coppola says. “It’s all kind of in his head, and we’re trying to put it down.”, which follows three bickering brothers on a fraught spiritual journey.
While in Melbourne, he plans to take some time to visit the city’s Luna Park, with its clattering Scenic Railway overlooking the bay, among the oldest functioning rollercoasters in the world. “I’m a huge fan of amusement parks, but from the 1920s and ’30s,” he says – an enthusiasm he traces back to his childhood visits to San Francisco’s Playland, which closed in the early 1970s.
“My great ambition is to recreate a classic amusement park – not period correct, not to be fetishy about the past, but to make something in that template with the wooden rollercoaster, and bumper cars, and a fun house in that classic way. That would bring me a lot of pleasure,” he says. “I like things that evoke a sense of delight. That’s something I come back to.”Asteroid City
