Let them eat (exquisitely art directed) cake.
Sofia Coppola to direct Marie-Antoinette for Columbia Pictures
Morgan pointed this one out to me. It seems like a great idea... but there's something a little (in Mo's words) "Ishtar circa 1790" about the whole thing.
I think it could work (La Dunst in the lead, Sofia shooting Versailles), but then again it could... well, with Schwartzman as Louis XVI... you get the picture.

Well. Look: I said that I thought it was a great idea... I kinda take that back. I think it could be a great idea. I mean, I like the idea of Sofia shooting a period drama, I think she could work well with the subject matter. But the cast throws me off. I think Dunst is ok. Under the right circumstances I think she can shine. That said, something about Marie-Antoinette speaking like a Valley Girl is troublesome. And there's something too... Oscar bait-y about the whole enterprise.
